You have just heard that one of your schoolmates got expelled for giving her ADHD pills to some other students at school. The students were buying the pills to help them study for their finals. You read about kids using Adderall to help them focus and stay awake in health class earlier in the year, but you didn't think it would ever happen at your school. Since the girl was expelled, you’ve heard about other students also bringing their prescription medications to school and sharing them or selling them. You want to do something to stop the selling of prescription drugs. You talk to a few of your friends and your teacher about what you could do to stop this from happening again. You realize this is a problem that involves families, because the pills are coming from people’s homes, so it is something your community needs to know about. You want to advocate for the students and their families to be aware of what is happening and to use prescription medicines properly. Use the Advocacy Skill Cues to complete the challenge. Step 1: Identify behavior (What are you bringing awareness to?)
The behavior that needs awareness is the selling and sharing of prescription medications, specifically ADHD pills like Adderall, among students at school.
