From the MetroWest Daily News in Framingham, Massachusetts
The MetroWest Community Health Care Foundation sponsored a survey of regional teen health risks and the results were presented to the school committee last Thursday.
Interestingly, the survey notes that “after alcohol, inhalants are the most commonly abused substance for middle school students.” It continues, “the number of students trying inhalants at some point in their lives rose from 9 percent to 14 percent.
The Assistant Principal said the school is now looking at "how and why students are abusing substances and where they get their supplies."
