In Phoenix, Arizona, six middle school kids were caught taking prescription pills on the schools playground. They were given to them by another student whose backpack was packed with other pills and marijuana. This was a shocking story to read. Sixth grade is such a young age to be exposed to something like that. When I look back to when I was in sixth grade, I had no idea about any of that kind of stuff and was just focused on being a kid and playing sports. The fact that kids keep getting exposed to this stuff at younger ages is a scary thing. I think schools should try harder to prevent drug and alcohol use. It is weird because I remember in sixth grade we went through the DARE program. The kids must've been curious, and that is a result of curious pre-teens.
