When did this generation become the generation of drugs?

Kids do drugs for all the wrong reasons today. Kids are hopped up on anti-depressants and aderhol whenever they get out hyper or are going through a hard time. Drug use is extremely prevalent in high schools all over.

What is wrong with kids today?

Can someone explain the whole anti-depressant thing? I guess maybe I am ignorant and haven't experienced clinical depression, but it seems like a load of huey to me.
