Millions of people are affected by drugs each year, including those who struggle with addiction, substance abuse disorders, and drug-related health issues. The exact number varies depending on the region and specific drug in question.
On average, about 700 children enter foster care in the United States each day. This number can vary based on factors such as the time of year and specific circumstances in different regions or states.
There is no specific data on the exact number of kids who lose their phones each year. However, studies suggest that a significant portion of children and adolescents misplace or lose their phones annually due to various reasons.
It is difficult to estimate the exact number of people who have lost their jobs specifically due to drug use. Job loss related to drug use can be influenced by many factors, including the individual's job role, company policy, and local laws.
In the entire world about 350,000 humans are born each day (2012) this is slightly lower than in the 1980's.

i personally think so because of how many kids do drugs and need help stopping. it is helpful to the kids and adults. if you or someone you know is doing drugs, then get some help from a trusted adult (preferably one not on drugs themselves.).
a lot i feel really bad for some kids because they get abused....there parents are usually alcoholics or they do drugs. those poor kids...the police would usually send the kids to a foster home.
because many of kids in the u.s. are killing them selves because of being bullied each year.
32% i should innacurately guess
over 15% of the kids make dreams without drugs.
