b. Program Summary: It's one of the fastest growing drug trends, the abuse of prescription drugs. High schoolers are the Rx generation, one that is mistakenly thinking the misuse of prescription drugs is safe. During this unique 60-minute program by the Peers Influence Peers Partnership, see things from the youth point of view as high school age students work on every aspect of the production, both in front of and behind the camera. It's the only youth national broadcast in the country. This year's program, The Rx Generation: Peers Influence Peers XIV will feature high school age youth addressing the issues surrounding the use and misuse of prescription drugs. In addition to interviews with both youth and adults, there will be an original thirty minute dramatic screen play with prescription drugs as the main theme.
