Two Skyline High School students have created a fentanyl warning and PSA aimed at their peers after two fellow students died from an overdose several weeks apart. 'It's more connective between peer to peer, rather than hearing it from a higher authority figure,.
Data from The King County Medical Examiner shows that so far this year, almost 160 people have died from a fentanyl overdose. Despite public awareness campaigns like the Drug Enforcement Administration's ‘One Pill Can Kill,’ two seniors at Skyline High School say the issue of drugs and overdoses are "kind of a taboo topic" to discuss at school. Nathan Pan and Tanisha Kshirsagar attend the same school where two 16-year-old boys died from an overdose in 2019.
"The editors and directors added sounds and effects to highlight the overdose symptoms, such as dizziness and fainting," said Pan. The video continues with Pan falling to the ground as his heartbeat flatlines. It serves as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of fentanyl use."One of our main messages is basically to address that fact of it, like you shouldn't be going to gatherings or things like that, or going into places where you're feeling uncomfortable.
