The overdose death of a student at Bernstein High School in Hollywood Tuesday night added to an already troubling trend of increasing youth overdoses linked to Fentanyl.
At least two other students were hospitalized after police say they ingested pills they believed were Percocet.

Maybe the worthless piece of crap Alejandro Mayorkas the head of Homeland Security should get down to the border
The “grownups” are driving their kids crazy in Cauliphonya. LOL.
Not to worry because our Border Czar k’mala haris says that our border is secure. /s
Fentanyl is what’s really killing our youth.
There are more Americans dying from overdose then in car accidents, by guns, falling from ladders and any other mishaps all together.
Actually about twice as many lately!
In business, you find and tackle your worst problem first!
If US were business, we will have to put everything to tackle this horrendous thing.
But, our leaders and our media pretty much ignore it! Shame!
I grew up in CA many moons ago & Boone’s Farm wine, Bartles & James wine coolers. occasional cherry clove cigarette were considered the party drugs.
& these kids are popping pills at school?? I shouldn’t be so shocked but wow.
Maybe more was going on during high school & I was just oblivious but I for sure would remember if kids were taking pain killers as recreational drugs.

We are on the way of becoming Mexico, where the cartels basically rule the country, despite all government efforts.
1. Why are the drug cartels killing off their customers?
2. When a fentanyl bust is reported it usually includes a large number for those who could have been killed by the amount of fentanyl confiscated. Why aren’t there more fentanyl deaths than there are? Are all the large shipments being found?
Nancy Reagan was right decades ago.
But the CIA intentionally poisoned our culture and it is only getting worse.
Yes. Some of the responsibility should be laid on the kids. Just say no.
“Some of the responsibility should be laid on the kids. Just say no”.
I agree but would add the parents.
Teen is a time of stupidity arrogance and delusions of invincibility. Most survive incredibly bad decisions without even realizing what they’ve done. Some fall victims to their bad decisions. Dying from drug overdoses is just one of the consequences of childish stupidity in young people
It’s not the parents. It’s the teen. They are all different even within the same family and they make their own choices. Some choose to take drugs and some don’t. It’s not the parents. Homeschooled churchgoing kids take drugs and inner city kids in single mom households don’t. And vice versa. You just never know.
If one uses street drugs with amount of fentanyl out there you have a death wish
I guess that the powers that be don’t really think it’s a problem.
Well they’re willing to do drugs if or not they know what they’re getting - so they’re willing to take a chance on death.
People on FR mostly think all these teens are dying because of the vaccine though. You can’t address the fentanyl problem until we recognize it as a major issue.
Darwin strikes again.
Why are deaths in Hollywood, in California, a matter of concern?
It’s California, not America
