drugs and high school?

Question by Heather L: drugs and high school?
I’m a student in high school and I think it’s insane how many people there do drugs and smoke cigarettes! I’m almost certain they know the risks of this from health classes over the years and teachers telling them the side effects of certain drugs. I wouldn’t doubt it but, half of them could definitely pass as a person on the show “intervention.”

Maybe the teachers/ principle aren’t being serious enough with the whole drug thing. On the announcements, all the principle says about smoking is, “If you are going to smoke, take it off of school grounds unless it’s raining.” Okay… these people aren’t even supposed to smoke! They’re not the legal age! I would like to see the school take action and have a patrol car take a drive around the school at some lunch time. Because for one, they’re minors and secondly, most of them are smoking shit that’s illegal. Now, I will admit it, i’ve tried it before and I won’t do it again. I definitely wouldn’t go out behind the school and get high with these idiots. I’m in classes with some of them and when the walk in (if they show up that is)… usually after lunch time, they reak of smoke or weed and it’s disgusting.

I would like for the school to take action but, I’m not sure if I should go say to them “Ok, look…. you’re so called ‘smoke free’ school is NOT smoke free. Now, go out behind the school and do something about it” Myself, along with numerous people want them to do something about it. I really don’t see how they refer to my school as ‘smoke free’ That’s bullshit. They should bring in police dogs and see just how much illegal shit is cirulating my school. I mean, honestly… better action has to be taken. What could i do in my own power about this? I really want something done. Even though these people are idiots, I think someone needs to do something because I don’t think they realize just how important high school is. What you do in high school really affects your future. You either make it to university/ college/ trade school or not. And if these people are doing drugs and skipping school, do you really think they’re going to have great marks by the time they’re supposed to graduate? No. The most they will have knowledge of is how to roll a joint. So, I think the people in my school need to smarten up and realize that they’re going to be screwed if they smoke their high school years away.

Listen.

I understand that it’s hard to concentrate when the people sitting across from you are dealing cocaine – but really, you have to worry about yourself.
