Teens have taken to “robotripping,” a woozy type of high caused by drinking cough syrup. The active ingredient in several major cough syrups, dextromethorphan (or DXM), is responsible for the intoxicating effects — and even a chemical dependency in some cases. Codeine cough syrups, which are even more potent, were recently taken off the shelves because of how dangerous they are — but teens can still get them from somebody with a prescription.

This infamous psychedelic drug known for its 12-hour “trip” full of hallucinations has been popular with teens since the 1960s and the Flower Generation. It’s typically sold on small squares of paper similar to postage stamps or absorbed into sugar cubes, which are then ingested. In its most basic form, LSD is a clear, odorless liquid. Last year, nearly 3% of high schoolers took acid, and approximately 5 million Americans aged 12–25 have experimented with LSD in their lifetimes.

Vicodin is the second-most popular prescription drug amongst 12th graders — around 10% use it, with 5% using it for non-medical reasons. This powerful painkiller is a combination of hydrocodone and acetaminophen, and in 2014, the DEA reclassified it from a schedule III to a schedule II drug due to its widespread misuse and potential for addiction. More than 130 million Vicodin prescriptions are filled each year in the U.S., and people with prescriptions often sell pills to people looking for a fix.

Methamphetamine also has a variety of colorful street names based on similar traits including:

Beannies, Black Beauty, Blade, Bling Bling, Blue Devils, Blue Meth, Chicken Feed, Cinnamon, Clear, Cr, Crink

Give concrete examples of difficult situations that actually happened at work. Then discuss what you did to solve the problem.

Keep your answers positive (Even though it was difficult when Jane Doe quit without notice, we were able to rearrange the department workload to cover the position until a replacement was hired.) and be specific. Itemize what you did and how you did it.

Your answer should contain two components, first a description of the situation that angered you and then a reference to how you processed the event and handled your anger.

Intended to help kids with attention disorders, Adderall is now the poster child of prescription drug abuse among teens. Adderall is also among the most popular study aid drugs, which teens seek out to increase their focus and energy levels on exam days and for all-night study sessions. In recent years, it’s also been growing in popularity at parties.

One of the most resourceful ways that teens get high is by breathing in gas, household cleaners, markers and other random objects with noxious fumes. The umbrella term given to these items — when they’re used to get high — is inhalants. When a teen uses an inhalant, they will often empty some of the contents onto a rag or into a plastic bag, and then hold it to their face and breathe in, called huffing.

Similar to bath salts, a number of companies began selling synthetic marijuana in the 2000s. Packaged in small, colorful wrapping and given catchy names, these products bypassed drug laws by using a mishmash of legal chemicals and by being sold as “herbal incense.” When smoked, the high from these chemicals mimics the high of marijuana. In 2012, 11.3% of high schools seniors used it. In some cases — after just a single use — synthetic marijuana side effects have led to serious health issues or even death.

Some of the most colorful slang terms are used for Ecstasy or MDMA, based on the name of the drug, effects, and appearance, including:

It depends on the situation and the personality of the supervisor.

My prior supervisor was more easy-going and if I told her "You know, I think it might work better if I do what you asked in such and such a way," she would say "Okay, try it."

Finally, pick three aspects of your past or current job that held the least interest to you. Make sure that any tasks you mention are not likely to be prioritized by your target employer nor should they be frequently performed or highly important aspects of the position.

Marketed as “bath salts” or cleaning chemicals to circumvent drug laws, these are synthetic over-the-counter powders with a powerful amphetamine-like stimulating effect. Bath salts have become popular through word of mouth amongst teens and are also available in gas stations and convenience stores.

The green, pungent leaves of the cannabis plant — known as “marijuana,” “weed” and a host of other names — maintain a stronghold as the most popular illicit drug among U.S. teens. When smoked, marijuana releases THC, a potent psychoactive chemical. This makes the user feel relaxed, heightens their senses and has a mild hallucinogenic effect. It also causes paranoia and impaired motor function and is highly addictive.

If you notice signs of addiction, and you hear your teen and their friends use some of this slang, they may have a drug abuse or drug addiction problem. We understand this realization can be jarring — many parents feel shocked, confused, embarrassed, or downplay the problem, calling it “normal.” It’s ok to be afraid and uncertain what to do — social stigma of drug addiction makes us view addicts as hopeless, bad people — but it’s crucial you spring to action once you discover your teen’s problem. The sooner you accept that your child is sick with the disease of addiction, the sooner you can get them the professional help they need.

Oxycodone is a narcotic painkiller prescribed in slow-release pills that work over a period of 12 hours, the most popular brand of which is OxyContin. The prescription caused a wave of teen incidents in the 2000s, including many instances of addiction and death. Although the tablets are slow-release, teens crush them into a powder and snort them, releasing the full amount and potency of the drug all at once. As this trend caught fire, users began spending upwards of $80 for a single pill. To counteract the growing popularity of the drug, in 2013, the FDA approved a variant that couldn’t be crushed into powder.

Amphetamines have a long list of slang names based on the appearance of the pills, the effect the drug has, and of course, names for deceptive purposes only, including:

Amp, Bennie, Benz, Black and White, Black Beauties, Black Birds, Black Bombers, Black Mollies, Blacks
