Answer by Wide Awake
Well, that’s an interesting subject.
You could also do a presentation on Oxycontin abuse, since it is so widespread and has led to major societal impacts, especially in some small towns. We tend to forget that people can get addicted to prescription drugs as well as “street” drugs – look at Rush Limbaugh.
Or, you could talk about the epidemic of cough syrup abuse and addiction that seems to be sweeping entire schools lately, though I fear you will find less evidence and news stories on this.
Good luck!

Do your report on meth and tooth decay. I just saw a documentary on “meth mouth”…OMG, if anything will keep you from doing meth….THAT will. There was a dentist that traveled to prisons to extract the teeth of meth users…he was extracting 200 teeth per week!

Question by Myles: Why are parents afraid to discipline their children?
You see these things on tv about teens addicted to drugs, getting pregnant,etc. Let me tell you this. If I got out of line, my parents beat my a ss, and they didn’t care what my excuse was. If I did any of the stuff teenagers do today, I would’ve been disowned at this point.
Why should teenagers be able to argue with their parents? A teens brain is not even fully developed, and they’re going to ignore what their parents tell them? How can kids be so stupid?
A parent occasionally hitting their kids is not abuse. It’s showing them who’s boss.
Best answer:
Answer by JD
Because their parents are equally stupid, duhhhh. just because your brain is developed doesn’t mean they are smart, so many stupid parents in the world.
Answer by Deshawn
you’re right, we should all beat the sh*t out of our kids whenever they do something wrong. thats REAL parenting.

Question by Jasmine Diaz: I need a short summary about Adam liptaks article “American Exception: Suppressing the evidence?
I also need to know what side he was taking and what was he trying to prove? i need and anser ASAP PLEAAAAAASSSSSEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Best answer:
Answer by Sumo Bob
Lets say that a couple is going through a severe Custody Battle on a divorce case; the women has one child and is currently self employed as a wedding planner & making cakes, while her soon to be ex husband is a detective on a police force.
The detective threatens his soon to be ex wife…by saying, ” i’m going to make sure that you don’t have any friends when i’m done with you because I got friends on the force that will do whatever I say, and I will tell them that your friends are selling drugs!”
Then one of her friends are arrested for their own prescribed medications based supposedly upon the narcotics officer dog smelt drugs permeating under a closed door at 4am, when her friends have been staying at a motel for 2 weeks.
The police claimed that they witnessed the couple bring in plenty of marijuana, cocaine, heroin, that people were going in and out of that apartment, that their witness stated that plenty of money was within the house and a list of names on who owes what. When her friends return home that afternoon, during the evening hours they are raided by her husband’s Police friends and they go to her friends cellphone, and find her number and her friend that is courting her, and only questions this couple about these two people.
Well, whenever this goes to Court, this case should be thrown out because the police force abused their discretion, and did not find anything that was alleged; “this is what Adam Liptak is trying to explain about the suppression of evidence for the wrongdoing of the police force abuses.”
Mr. Liptak, was a neutral source and expounding upon “How some of the Justices are considering on re-debating the 4th Amendment’s exclusionary principle.”
