[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's frustrating to me how little of the conversation focuses on why kids wind up doing these drugs and what we could be doing as a society to make it less appeal. You don't do fentanyl just because you're bored. These are kids who are stressed out, hopeless, probably depressed. Agree with a PP that these are obviously not kids from functional homes because parents would intervene and stop this from happening. So what could we be doing in schools an din public outreach to help these kids? But people don't want to help them. They just want them to go away. [/quote] There are myriad reasons for fentanyl use and they cut across class, race and socioeconomic background. Do kids from dysfunctional home use? Yes. But kids from functional homes do too. Usually behind their parents back and often due to peer pressure or the natural adolescent rebellion that manifests during these years.[/quote]
