[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 273662, member: 1550"] The Tylenol 3 is a no-brainer. Lots of kids abuse codeine. Now for the rest: My daughter got addicted to ADHD drugs. The kids would bring their own medications or fake ADHD and get a script or steal them from younger brothers. Adderall is $10/pill. I would ask her WHY she wants to bring them to school. They are widely abused--crushed into pillcrushers and snorted either alone or with other medications. I personally wouldn't give my kids ADHD medications because, as they become teens, they certainly know their value and how much they are abused and how easy they are to get. I"m not telling you to stop giving them to her, but I would certainly be the one to administer them, then I"d keep them under lock and key. All which won't matter if she wants to abuse them as they are everywhere at school. I would want to know why she brought them, and I wouldn't say, "Poor dear. The punishment is too harsh." in my opinion she is using drugs and it's a good idea to crack down NOW and not go into denial, like we did. THAT was disastrous for all of us. My daughter's appearance became alarming as she abused drugs--black, black, black (even black lipstick). We made her take it off, but she probably wore it at school anyway because I'm sure her "friends" had some handy. A change in attitude, looks, and friends are big red flags for drug abuse, even if the kids act like little angels to adults. I had no idea my daughter was into stimulants. I thought she was just using pot sometimes, which was bad enough. Turns out, now that she's clean, that I realize how often ADHD medications are abused by teens. It is a big problem. As for consequences, I'm not sure what to tell you because nothing stopped my daughter from getting deeper into drugs, not even homeschooling. My daughter started her descent into drug hell at the ripe old age of twelve. We never would have guessed or, if somebody told us, believed. She also had never been in trouble before. Good luck, whatever you decide to do! [/QUOTE]
