According to a recent study, 21-percent of students in Ontario, Canada take painkillers without a prescription. Of this amount, 72-percent say that they get the painkillers from their parents.

The Ontario Student Drug Use and Health Survey was given to over 6,000 kids and teens grades 7 – 12. Also significant are the findings that Oxycontin use has jumped from 1 to 2-percent in just 2 years.

In addition, the Internet has added to the non-prescribed drug problem as teens are blogging about what drugs to take for stress, menstrual cramps or sports injuries. Alcohol and marijuana still lead the list of the most abused drugs however, coming in at 61-percent and 26-percent respectively.
