COLLEGE STUDENT ON PILLS

THERE WAS AN AVERAGE STUDENT WHO CAME FROM A VERY
WEALTHY FAMILY. HIS PARENTS SENT HIM TO ONE OF THE IVY
LEAGUE SCHOOLS IN THE EAST. THE BOY COULD NOT MAKE
HIS GRADES BY DOING AN AVERAGE AMOUNT OF STUDYING, SO HE
STARTED TAKING DEXEDRINE PILLS. EVERY OTHER NIGHT FOR
AN ENTIRE YEAR HE DIDN'T GO TO BED. AT THE END OF THE
SCHOOL YEAR HE WENT HOME AND WENT TO SLEEP. HIS
PARENTS LET HIM SLEEP FOR TWENTY FOUR HOURS, THEN
TRIED TO AWAKEN HIM. HE WAS DEAD.
