Are pills a problem?

There are a lot of drugs that are a problem in todays society like weed, pills, and many others, but ima talk about the problem with highschoolers taking pills. Its not pills that would help you, they are pill that they use to get high. There are many types of pill you can take. There is vyvanse, which is not the best pill. Vyvanse is considered an upper which will just keep you awake for days at a time. There is adderall which is kinda like vyvanse but you can get very addicted to adderall. There is also zanex. Zanex is known as a party drug/pill. 

There are many other pills out there that people may abuse just so they can feel the high or stay awake. There have been more than 842,000 deaths from pill overdose since 1999. Our society is not the best. High schoolers can take advantage of pills in many ways, to party, to overdose, ext. They can also get u addicted to a lot of other drugs. Like Vyvance can be a type of Meth. I talked to somone that is in prision for meth and vyvance is the reason he tryed meth. 

Pills are a big issure in the U.S. Drug abuse violations is the most commone arrest in the U.S. Pills can and can not be bad. Some one them help people are prescribed them and a lot of the ones that people abuse are for ADHD. The ones that are for ADHD are to help u stay awake and focuse. That is what people look for because it gives u the high effect.

  • Yes I think that any kind of pill is a problum cause they are easy to transport, hide, take or whatever. No I have never abused pills befor. I try not to take any kind of pill and if I do then I have to be in alot of pain and I have a high pain tollerence. My uncle had a pill problum and overdossed when I was younger and almost died but since then he is been clean.

  • I think pills can be a very big problem and are a big problem and will always be. I think some people can get addicted to pills while other people use them right. I have never abused pills but i know some people that have but personally, I have not abused pills.

  • I think that pills  have always been a big problem. The fact that pills can become addicting is the reason they are such a problem. I have never abused any type of pill and I do not know anyone who abuses pills. 

  • I think there is a very big problem with pills in the United States as there are very many overdoses per day. I have never abused pills and never will I think it is very unfortunate that people even do. I personally do not think I know anyone who absuses pills but have seen many news stories about it.

  • I think pills are a problem in America. I believe this mostly occurs when people overdose on pills or fake injuries to obtain addictive drugs such as opioids. I have never abused pills and don't plan on overdosing anytime soon. I know some people who have abused pills but they are usually crazy. 

  • I think that they can cause a lot of issues but i do not think that they are as widely used as they used to be. I think that more people have gone away from the pillis and have gone to other forms of drugs. I however still think that they are used in todays society just not as popular.

  • I do think that they can cause many issues now a day and can lead to serious problems with many people. But they can be very important for certain people as people use them everyday. I personally have never abused pills and I do not know of anyone that has abused pills. 

  • I do think that pills can be a problem in the United States of America, but they are so important that you can't do anything about it. I have never abused pills in my lifetime. I do not know anyone that has ever abused pills in there lifetime. 

     

  • I think pills are helpful and harmful. Pills can help with a sickness but people can also get addicted and harm themselfs. People jsut need to take ot when they need it. I have only used pills when im sick.
