According to a recent study by the University of Minnesota, use of diet pills has doubled among teenaged girls to something like on in eight, and by the time they were twenty, one in five.  As long as our children are going to be taking them, it makes sense to take the opportunity to all talk to our children about being responsible with them.  I'd really like to see a study on the parents of the kids.  I keep seeing a little girl huddled over a shoebox screaming "from you, ok? I learned it from watching you!!!"
