<p>Lots of kids in my school do marijuana, they smoke, and they drink.
And this is Brearley, the Nation's #1 All-Girls school, and Nations #2 ~ #3 in all private schools.</p>
<p>Honestly, those who say that students who drink, smoke, and do drugs are all dropping out of highschool are wrong. None are dropping out and dids in my school are getting in to Ivies just fine.</p>
<p>jesus people i was joking. i know everyone drinks. **** some of my best times came under the influence :)</p>
<p>drinking/smoking should never consume your life...but done in moderation, i see no issue with it. (and by smoking i mean weed....cigarettes are absolutely disgusting)</p>
<p>if people smoke around me i give them the finger.</p>
<p>^hahaha</p>
<p>10char.</p>
<p>I don't care. I'd probably do it now and then myself if I wasn't worried about getting addicted (stupid family history, seriously). If someone else I know wants to drink or smoke pot, and they're not getting behind the wheel under the influence, fine by me.</p>
<p>What does bug me, though, is kids who think they're super cool for drinking, or better than everyone else because they're straight-edge. Grow up. Not everyone has to live the way you do.</p>

By judging them, it doesn't mean I am necessarily condoning them to their face, but just noting in my mind that they are acting dumb.

<p>fa-la-la-lena, I think you have the wrong definition for "condoning."</p>
<p>I don't judge any substance users as long as they don't harm anyone in the proccess. Drinking at a party is cool with me. Drinking and then driving is a d*** move and should land you in jail. Doing weed with friends is fine; have a good afternoon dude. Mixing a bunch of drugs and going crazy on someone is stupid. Smoking at home alone or with other smokers? I don't see why you'd risk your health like that but if it's worth it to you, go for it. Smoking around kids or in public? We don't want your second-hand carcinogens, thankyouverymuch.</p>
<p>Just my take on it.</p>
<p>danja, you are completely right. I was prolly half asleep when i wrote that...i meant the exact opposite. I think I meant condemning</p>
<p>Not for drinking... because I do it too
smoking weed, I pass up
hookah... :)</p>
<p>what I WILL get mad at you for doing is drinking and driving... goddamn I'm like the DD police with my friends</p>
<p>designated driver... not dear daughter... ;)</p>
<p>that's a good question.</p>
<p>I have friends who do drugs, smoke, AND drink. We have enough respect for each other to not really discuss those situations much at all since they know I'm not into that. I like who they are and the mess they do is usually never a matter of discussion (unless im concered about them, then i'll tell them whats up)</p>
<p>But i find that I do judge those who do drugs, smoke, and drink AND are just individuals I do not like as people. If that makes any sense at all lol</p>
<p>I think that if someone didn't know their friend did drugs and they found out about it there would definitely be some judging going on. Or more so they would look at that friend differently in the future.
So I think it is more of looking at people in a different way than actually judging them</p>
<p>I try not to judge them. But, I really hate when the smell seeps through my locker at school and when I get smoke blown in my face. As long as it doesn't affect me, do as you do.</p>
<p>I really do judge these kids, and although I don't know a lot of them personally, I just get angry looking at someone when I know that they drink/smoke/do other drugs. Even if I feel fine about someone, and they seem pretty nice, if I find out that they drink/smoke/do drugs, I immediately feel like I hate them. For some reason, knowing that someone takes drugs blocks my ability to see them as anything other than trash.</p>
<p>I'm sure I judge them unconsciously. I can't control it really. After all the assemblies and videos that have been shoved down our throats since elementary school, I'm really curious how they can still so willingly destroy their bodies and brains in such a way. </p>
<p>I don't look down on them, just the choices they make.</p>
<p>just wondering, is dipping popular at your school?</p>
<p>I judge these people because I don't believe in putting trash into your body, but if they want to do that with their lives, they can go ahead and do it. No one on the outside is going to change their minds.</p>
<p>(I just wish some smokers would be more considerate with where they choose to smoke. The smell of it makes me sick.)</p>
<p>I think it's crazy to flat-out hate someone because they drink or smoke. It's their lifestyle choice, and it's not anyone else's place to judge them on that. There are plenty of people - myself included - who drink or smoke and aren't "trash." Just because they're making decisions that you wouldn't doesn't make them bad people, it makes them different from you. And isn't diversity awesome? =)</p>
<p>i judged my one of my best friends who started drinking/smoking/and having sex.
after i learned that she had sex while on her period, in the back of her car..the one she drove me in during lunch hour everyday, i just said enough is enough.
thats effing disgusting.</p>
<p>I don't judge anyone who does any drug - unless they allow that drug to have adverse effects on them, on the people around them, or allow themselves to lose control and become addicted.</p>
<p>Addiction is a horrible disease; if a person is prone to it (and most are), I would judge them if they knowingly put themselves in a position to fall into that deep, dark pit. Some of my friends have; I judge them for it; I also try to help them out of it.</p>
<p>Other than that, I judge no one. All the societal norms surrounding judge use are just that - societal norms. They often have little basis (for example, the acceptability of marijuana vs. alcohol), and I see no reason to hew to them. I've done a number of different drugs in my life, never gotten addicted to any, and never let any of them to affect me negatively. Most I did once or twice.</p>
<p>So do I judge people? Yes, some people. But not just for doing drugs. Doing drugs is risky, but if you now how to handle the risk, I see no reason to judge you for making that personal decision. I also laugh at many people who I know would judge me, since I will be more successful than most of them, and I wonder whether that fact ever enters their minds while they pass judgment.</p>
<p>For the most part, I don't really care, because that's their own business. But I don't really see myself being friends with a pothead, or anyone else who does those kinds of things.</p>
<p>Obviously you judge them on it. What else would you judge someone by? You judge people based on their actions. I have had friends that smoked and I judged them for it but it does not mean that I could not be friends with them or like them.</p>
<p>I am atheist and I judge religous people but my best friend is religous and that does not bother me. It is not my choice I can try to change his mind but it his choice what he believes or does. It is bad decision to do drugs but no one makes all good decisions.</p>
