Millions of young abusing cough medicine..!!

About 3.1 million people between the ages of 12-25 have used cough and cold medicine to get high, the government reported Wednesday.More than 5% of teenagers and young adults had misused cough and cold medicines and indicated that these people also had experimented frequently with illicit drugs.Nearly 82% also had used marijuana. Slightly less than half also used inhalants or hallucinogens, such as LSD or Ecstasy. I think that the government might make stores stop selling over the counter medicine if people don't get this under control.

No Hooded Sweatshirts in Class..!!

The dress code at one local school got much stricter this year. At Central high school students are not aloud to wear hooded sweatshirts. Students and family members think that there dress clode is going too far with this situation. The teachers asked one girl to take off her hoodie so she did and she went to put it in her bag and the teachers told her to hand it over! That student wants the policy changed....she startes to get other people to sign a petition so that they can try to get it changed. To check out more info about this dress code click here.
