I commented on Dylan's and Laura's posts.

OC #2-Drugs at age 10.

Is it already normal for older teens/college students/etc. to be taking drugs illegally? People are taking drugs in middle school now. What's worse is it doesn't shock me one bit. Kids are realizing there are ways to have fun and they're taking it. They'll do anything to enjoy their childhood, but they end up ruining their futures. I have a 13 (I think?) year-old sister and I would not be at all surprised to hear that she was caught with illegal prescriptions. Our house is full of them. My mom and I only take about 4573763936139431 different medications and Ron takes even more. She has plenty of resources. I just hate how people have their medicines in such accessible places. They hear their kids were caught with drugs and they get mad, when it's partially their faults. People are so unwilling to admit they may have done something wrong. People are too proud.

OC #1-Drug Water?

I read the Drug Water article.

First, Benjamin H. Grumbles...just putting that out there.

I'm not really surprised that we have drugs in our water, actually. I mean, very few Americans don't take drugs and I envy those who don't. I'm on quite a few medicines for various different things, so it doesn't surprise me at all. I'm kind of surprised at the amount of concern people are showing, however. I mean it's a very small amount of the drugs that is getting into your system so it shouldn't be that big of a deal, though the combination of the drugs may not be too good. It's still less than people who take drugs regularly are getting. I don't know, maybe I'm just not realizing how dangerous it really is.
