A group of San Bernardino high school students know teenagers don't always listen to their parents, so they're hoping their classmates will listen to them.

Emergency manager Eric Vetere says so far, the district hasn't had any known cases of fentanyl overdoses.

“But we know it's in our community. We've seen our partners with the San Bernardino police department and sheriff’s department make substantial drug busts within the community so we know it's here,” Vetere said. According to the non-profit organization VOID, which stands for victims of illicit drugs, fentanyl has become a deadly epidemic, killing tens of thousands of young people all across the US.

"People are dying daily, one every five minutes virtually,” Retired San Bernardino police Sgt Steven Filson said.He believes this powerful PSA needs to be shown to all students in Southern California. “It tells them ‘stay away from it, you can't experiment, follow their direction,’ I can't think of anything more powerful than the message from kids to kids.”“Once they see like people have actually been affected by this they'll be more mindful and won't want to take that risk,” Miranda said.
