From relationships, social media, to drug use and abuse, the show covers it all. The audience witnesses the main character, Rue, taking a number of drugs that drive her opioid addiction. While some have criticized the show for glorifying drug use in adolescents, what it does get right is that substance use is a reality for millions of teenagers in North America.</p> Fri, 11 Nov 2022 16:42:44 +0000 Cat Wang, B.Sc. 9292 at /oss
