One Pill Can Kill – What Teens Need to Know

You don’t have to be “using drugs” to be at risk.
That’s the danger of fentanyl—and why the United States is seeing more accidental overdoses than ever before.

Fake pills are being sold on Snapchat, Instagram, and even in schools. They look identical to prescription medications like Xanax, Oxycodone, and Percocet—but they’re laced with illegally manufactured fentanyl, which is 50 times stronger than heroin.

🚨 Just one pill can contain a lethal dose.
In North Carolina, fentanyl deaths among teens have tripled in recent years.

What you can do:

  • Only take medications prescribed to YOU

  • Talk to your friends—they may not know the risks

  • Carry Narcan if you can—it saves lives

This isn’t about fear. It’s about facts—and saving lives.
