Beth, if you ever need to talk about something etc, you can come to the admins and us discussion mods. At least we can listen.

That being said: I don't know much about American school system and about focus pills, so I try to explain from what I do know. If anyone can explain better, please do.

Schools have policies against drug abuse. And what Lucas did counts as such. So the suspension happened because of what Superherofanatic said. Those pills can be used as a way to cheat if you take them without needing them. Lucas wasn't prescribed pills for medical issues. He didn't go to a doctor who examined him and said that he has health issues that requires therapy. He was taking pills without any kind of supervision by medical experts. And the amount of pills they found at school was way too much to count as medication. And I think that if there are students who do require medication, the school knows about it. Based on my research, in America there are nurses etc at school who help students with medical issues.
