Drug addiction is a serious problem in our society, and the most troublesome part is teenage drug addiction. Our children are being exposed to dangerous drugs at early ages, and often times they are exposed through their family members as. With drugs available in many places, it’s hard to imagine how we can successfully prevent teenage drug addiction.

Among teenagers, the most widely abused drugs are alcohol and marijuana, although methamphetamine and heroin are also popular. The main reason for teens to use drugs is to escape from the problems in their lives. They see it as an easy way out at least for as long as the drug lasts. Teenagers tend to perceive small problems as overwhelming, so their tendency to use drugs is much higher than an adult’s. They keep using them to and eventually become addicted.

Question by : How do i talk to my Doctor about my pain Meds not working?
Hi, I’m 23 years old and when i was 17 i was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in my spine. they took it out but over the years i have been in extreme pain. So much to the point i cant sleep or even move. I have talked to my primary care doctor about this and she put me on a pain contract, Basically what i have to do is take urine test to make sure I’m not exceeding the meds and that I’m taking them regularly and that I’m not mixing the pain meds with any drugs or alcohol. she can have me come in and take the test anytime she wants to. I’m completely fine with this because i am aware people abuse these prescription drugs and they sell them on the street. She prescribed me hydrocodone/apap 5mg/500mg 45pills for a month. Now i understand the “addiction” to pain pills happen because your body gets used to them and no longer works with the amount i usually take. 1 to 2 pills per day as needed. Well it seems to only take effect when i consume 2 at a time, and by 2 weeks i have no more meds & am in ext ream pain once again. I’m Young and a very active person, i have two jobs and plan on starting school soon. But i don’t feel i can go forward with these plans until i manage my pain. How do i bring up to my doctor that i need more pain meds? or different ones? how do i talk to her about trying to manage my pain? i honestly have pain everyday, all day and i wish i didn’t have to live like this & if it was up to me i wouldn’t take any meds at all… please help?
