According to the article, many of the kids that are misusing the drugs are "grade schoolers" and they're getting the drugs from their classmates. Researchers have found that more than one-third of students being prescribed these drugs were being asked to sell or trade them, according to MSNBC. Researchers also found that more than half of students surveyed, not taking Ritalin or Adderall, said they knew students that were either selling or giving their drugs away.
