There was a special report on this on our local news last night.
Sad stuff. 
I agree, Diva. Gotta talk to 'em.

We caught pieces of this but switched the channel when the kids came in so we could get the whole story first.

Here they had a special about that, and kids that are swapping prescription drugs from their parents medicine cabinets.

Friends I hungout with when I was 8-9 yrs old tried this..I saw one girl go into something like convulsions. Right then I knew I would never try it, I also convinced them to stop by taping it with a camcorder and showing them what really happened...
It's a very scarey thing to be happening out there! I really hope that something can be done about it.

Not really that new. I remember trying it when I was that age. Unfortunately, more kids are doing it and getting hurt/killed.

I'm afraid to look in those urls diva posted. It scares the hell out of me. Why do kids do this to themselves? What the hell is going on???!!
