Puttin' It On The Table

I think this was a very astute topic to pick. It's something that is a bit taboo and something that should be and is slowly being addressed. I think you perhaps unknowingly you may have helped some of your peers by choosing this topic. Although there is clearly a very dark side to these drugs, I am wondering if you could find some articles that highlight the positive, things that people are doing right. Also maybe looking into where teens can get help, ie support groups, activist groups. I would also be interested to see if you could find more cases of doctors irresponsibly prescribing drugs (I know that you touched on it). I like that you respond with some more thought provoking questions, but I would also like to see some more of your thoughts, not just questions (again I think it's great that you are questioning). All in all I think you have hit on a very interesting topic that not only could you use for this project, but I think that if it is a subject you are passionate about researching it be carried into other writing/researching projects, maybe interviewing.
Well done!
