This post is
meant as more of a public service announcement for Plymouth North High School’s
News Program and their recent attempt to focus more attention on an ever
present problem for our high school students…drug use. I recently took their news story and
incorporated it into my own segment “The Doctor Is In.” The area surrounding my high school has had
three recent heroin overdoses that were quietly reported on…until the Boston
Globe and Sun Chronicle decided to do large pieces on the problem we all face
as a society. These pieces reiterated
that it is not just a problem in Plymouth or the South Shore, but all of
Southeastern Massachusetts. That is the
part I found valuable enough to keep students from saying, “that problem is
somewhere else.”
The video
and sources for the articles are located below as well as under my heading “The
Doctor Is In.
Again, kudos belongs to
Plymouth North New (PNN) for their bravery in addressing an issue that is not
popular to discuss. Those students have
done their high school, fellow students, and parents proud for their
willingness to point out one of the areas that we as a society need to fix.
