When teens have their wisdom teeth removed, they often get Facebook messages from their “friends” who want to buy their unused painkillers. Prescription medicines are the second most abused illegal drug after marijuana among teens.

Every day, 2500 teens use a prescription drug for the first time to get high. Most teens say that it is easy to get prescription drugs from home. OR Many home burglars are after prescription drugs, not electronics, jewelry or other valuables.
