Youth Radio’s Michelle Jarboe is a high achiever who juggled classes and a full-time job during her last two years of college. Though she’s not into illicit drugs, she admits to occasional past use of Adderall and Ritalin, drugs prescribed for attention deficit disorder, as study aids. She’s not alone – quite a few of her friends have done and still do the same thing, not only during exam season but also throughout the semester and during summer school. Michelle explores why ADD drugs like Adderall and Ritalin are being passed around by friends, and even sold among students to improve academic performance and decrease the need for sleep.
