With all his time spent in class, tuition and on co-curricular activities, 14-year-old Jason has little time left for his exam preparation. So he takes out a white pill that he keeps in his wallet, crushes it with a spoon and eats the powder.
These pills contain methylphenidate, a mental stimulant meant to treat people with attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD), attention deficit disorder and less commonly, narcolepsy (a sleeping disorder).

But Jason does not have a prescription as he does not suffer from any of these conditions.
Instead, he claims he is taking these pills because they make it "extremely easy" to get work done.
The Secondary 3 student from a top school says: "I start to feel jittery when I take it but suddenly, I can easily set my mind on any task and get it done.
"For example, the drug makes me want to redo the same questions again and again, which is great for mathematics. I don't get distracted by the computer or TV too."
