Goggle search said “Drugs are one of the top causes of teen deaths and suicides in the United States.” Drugs have been around for years and each year the death rates and suicide rates have increased dramatically especially in teen students.

Do you think middle school kids should be tested for drugs? Although kids think it's a waste of time it could help students in the long run.

Welfare drug tested- i believe these people need to be drug tested because if they’re ‘needing’ welfare for them and their kids. If they need it they should be spending it on food, and nesecities, not drugs. Im sorry but if you would rather spend my tax payer money on drugs rather than putting food on your childs table then, you shouldn’t be recieving money, nor should your kids be living with you.

The problem with drugs is that the responsibility they require is too big for middle school students. In middle school, kids are just learning how to make decisions on their own. This is one reason that drugs are a problem during this time. Peer pressure is a big factor in starting the drugs. This is how it spreads. Testing middle school students for drugs would be a way to solve the problem before it even begins. Middle school is a time where kids are still developing mentally, physically, and emotionally and experimenting with drugs could be-and is-detrimental to this process. If schools were to test for drugs, and a case was found, the teen that came back positive would be educated right away on why drugs are so dangerous.

To begin, drug testing should be integrated into high school sports, because athletes would be prevented from gaining an unfair advantage. This would allow athletes to be better than others. According to Procon.org “Sport is meant to be about honesty - what you see is all there is. Doping is part of an evil influence extending to match fixing and gambling that has always been a (hidden) part of professional sport, but which will likely ultimately destroy it…Rather, sport becomes no different from any other commercially driven activity” (Noakes). Athletes are constantly looking for the next thing that will give them an edge. High School students who are on the threshold to earning a scholarship often look for the next best thing. Many new

However from the point of view of a teacher, parent or whoever is for the testing, it is done to protect the students. Many children or young adults that experiment with drugs do not understand what the drugs can do to their minds and bodies. With the testing schools will be able to determine which students need help and can better focus on treatment, and helping the student to understand the consequences of their actions not necessarily disciplinary but on the issue of health. As far as helping the students goes it is much easier to teach the students about drugs when it is known which students are doing them or have tried them. Time will not have to be wasted by explaining, "why drugs should not be taken" to a student that is taking them wile they could focus on treatment to deter the student from taking them.
