To me there is no higher calling then helping others. And the best kind of helping others is helping those who cannot seek help themselves. For me that is the cats at 13th Street Cats. I have always given what I can- when I was about 4 or 5, I got $3 a week as allowance. One dollar had to go in to long term savings, one dollar had to go into short term savings (saving for a toy I wanted or whatev...1 Recommendation -

I'm worried about everything that is going on in my life right now. I never see my parents, I'm not eating, I'm not interested in anything, and I've been stuck babysitting for the past two years almost everyday. I'm getting just about sick of it. I feel like a ticking time bomb about to go off, I'm just scared that it's going to be the wrong person. I don't k...2 Recommendations4 Comments -

Is anyone else having problems with this site on Internet Explorer? I have modzilla Foxfire but the connection won't let me in, so I am forced to go through IE and its either crashing or won't let me in to my friends or messages. So, if you sent me something I am trying to get to it.
Any suggestions?1 Comment

Prescription Drug Abuse Information
A prescription drug (or POM Prescription Only Medicine, in UK) is a licensed medicine that is regulated by legislation to require a prescription before it can be obtained. The term is used to distinguish it from over the counter drugs which can be obtained without a prescription. Different jurisdictions have different definitions of what constitutes a prescription drug. As a general rule, over the counter drugs are used to treat conditions not necessarily requiring a doctor's care and will have been proven to meet higher safety standards for self-medication by patients. Often a lower dosage of a drug will be approved for OTC use, while higher dosages will remain the province of a doctor's prescription; a notable case is ibuprofen, which has been widely available as an OTC pain killer since the mid-1980s but is still available in doses up to four times the OTC dose for use in cases of severe orthopedic pain.
A recent study reported that about one in five teenagers has abused a prescription painkiller — more than those who have experimented with either ecstasy, cocaine, crack or LSD. The most popular prescription drug abused by teens was Vicodin, a pain-killer, with 18 percent (about 4.3 million youths) reporting. OxyContin, as well as drugs for attention-deficit disorder like Ritalin or Adderall, came in second place with 10 percent. One in eleven teens (2.2 million) had abused over-the-counter products such as cough medicine. Fewer than half the teens in the study (48 percent) believed experimenting with prescription drugs was a "great risk." Additionally, many teens chose to use legal drugs because of "ease of access."
