Kids and Pills
Re “60 Pills Divided by 6 Youths Equals a Trip to the Hospital,” April 22.
People say that kids do that sort of thing because they don’t know the side effects, but to tell you the truth, it’s because they just want to take them and see what happens. It’s curiosity not stupidity that drives kids to take drugs in the first place. . . . Medication of that sort should not be sold to minors for their own safety.
Kids like these make other kids look stupid and inexperienced. These kind of actions are what scares parents into not letting the responsible kids have fun.
