Trying to find info videos for teens and lectures for teens on prescription drug abuse something to scare them and maybe simulated scene where firefighters or paramedics are working a teen overdose please help Thx Chris Oium Camp Verde Fire Department
It is very informative comment, I think more of such videos should be circulated on net more regularly so that people become aware and get more conscious of this issue. Every one should realize that addiction of prescribed drugs can also be fatal.
Ah, such a true video. There are many kids these days that are turning to prescription pills to get high because of the easy access. My neighbor has to hide her own pain medication from her two teenage daughters because they get into it every time that they can. It’s sad that it has become so convenient for kids, but videos like this and spreading the word around will do a world of good. There are many parents that are still in the dark.
Chris,
i believe that you and your brother firefighters could set down and create this scene. Then video it, post it on utube for all the teenagers of the world to see the effects of script drugs, good luck love U!
