High School- Drinking, Drugs, or Neither?

<p>What type of school do you go to (private, public, rural, city)?

Lots of drinking/weed. Almost everyone seems to drink and has smoked including myself. </p>

<p>Are you part of the scene?
yeah I guess so</p>

Everyone. Sports players, Bandos, and your regular joes

<p>My school's private and very small (60 people) but my "community" of friends consists of about 100-150 or so people from various high schools throughout San Francisco.</p>

<p>About half smoke pot and just about all drink, although usually only at parties. I don't smoke at all, but I can have an occasional drink at a party if I want to loosen up.</p>

<p>I go to a small, religious, private school. Naturally, you would think everyone's spending their weekends at church and youth groups, but those assumptions would be so wrong. There are a lot of people who drink, and a surprising amount who do drugs. </p>

<p>I honestly never thought my school had a drug/drinking problem until junior year. As for who does the drugs/drinking at my school- it spans the social groups. Lots of people who aren't popular and are actually pretty smart (despite al the drinking) drink regularly. The drugs are pretty much reserved to the "popular" kids. They all get really nervous when we have random drug tests. It's kind of humorous.</p>

<p>I'm not part of the party/drinking/drugs scene, at all and quite happy that I'm not.</p>

<p>What type of school do you go to (private, public, rural, city)?
Public school</p>

<p>Does your school have a prevalent drug or drinking social scene?
Drugs, not so much drinking, but there is some</p>

<p>Are you part of the scene?
Sadly...yeah. I just do it with friends and stuff.</p>

<p>Who is part of the scene(jocks, hipsters)?
Everyone. Myself, I'm a nerd/musician (I hang with all the musician people because I'm one of the best guitarists in the school, but I also happen to have one of the highest GPAs and I take all honors/AP courses)</p>

<p>I go to public school...I dont think we have any drinking or drug scenes but I do know a lot of people who do both. If I am part of a "scene" it would be the drinking scene I guess and i don't really know who is part of the scene</p>

<p>big suburban public school
it kinda varies by clique whether drinking or smoking is the bigger thing, but people do both. drinking more so, generally. there's definitely kids who come to school stoned. i know people who do harder stuff, but not many.</p>

<p>haha just randomly found this thread and think its funny.</p>

<p>big suburban public
hmmm there is a huge drinking scene at the school... there are big parties every weekend that invariably get busted by the cops (though if you are smart it's not too hard to get away) as well as smaller, more controlled parties.
drug scene? lots of kids smoke. coke popular among the rich ones. there are sects that enjoy acid and shrooms too. but mostly you'd be surprised how many kids do drugs.</p>

<p>i usually stick to the drinking scene and go to parties a few times a weekend. have some friends in the drug scene, and have had some fun times that i'm sure fried my brain beyond repair. gotta enjoy your teenage years, haha. i'll have some crazy stories to tell my kids one day....</p>

<p>I drink and smoke weed once in a while, but nothing that would impair me for my drive home. A lot of people have promiscuous sex, but at least I'm not promiscuous.</p>

<p>I try some of the stuff, whether or not it destroys your life is all a matter of self control. Most of the time I'm just a CC geek, because I have virtual school classes. Mostly on weekends during the summer is when I hang out.</p>

<p>In my school, I heard a senior say that everyone in the Key Club had smoken pot. Other than that, some students smoke cigarretes after school. I haven't seen/heard of anyone drinking though.</p>

<p>someone said that the persian kids smoke hookah...but hookah is not something you smoke, its something you smoke out of. just to point that out</p>

<p>(yes I know this from watching the office haha)</p>

<p>Alcohol in my school is pretty popular with the jocks, and every so often there is a house party that gets out of control.
There are also a few people who smoke weed, but definitely far fewer people than those that drink.
I am part of neither.</p>

<p>oh and i go to a small religious private school. the scene is really underground but i'd say that about 1 in 4 in high school smoke something or drink, usually the jocks and the southern (i hesitate to say redneck) kids</p>

<p>Alot of people drink here. Just like a normal amount, on weekends and in summer . It seems like everyone but it's probably about half. And maybe 20% does weed. Well that statistic is probably completely wrong but that's what it seems like. That's about it here. </p>

<p>What type of school do you go to (private, public, rural, city)? Public, suburbs
Does your school have a prevalent drug or drinking social scene? it seems like all schools in this area do a good amount of drinking, it just seems normal. But really I'd say about half of my grade drinks at least occasionally.
Are you part of the scene? Well half my friends drink and half don't. um... I don't drink but that's not because I don't want to, if that makes any sense. None of us do drugs (which here is only weed) and I never will.
Who is part of the scene(jocks, hipsters)? The stereotypes at my school don't see to be as defined as that. The nerds don't drink, all other 'groups' do and don't, it just depends on the person. Same with pot. And half of the people that do both get good grades actually.</p>

<p>At a local Catholic school...alcohol, drugs, and sex are so prevelent that it makes the public school I attend look good.</p>

<p>What type of school do you go to (private, public, rural, city)?
Private Roman Catholic
Does your school have a prevalent drug or drinking social scene?
Mostly drinking and smoking (usually just cigarettes).
Are you part of the scene?
No, but I still go to parties that serve hard liquor. I hate smoking and sidestream smoke though.
Who is part of the scene(jocks, hipsters)?
Cliques overlap, so it's hard to tell.</p>

<p>Lots of people smoke pot at my school. Most of them do it occasionally, and they're not too bad. I larger majority drink and f---.</p>

<p>Public suburban school</p>

<p>Drinking and drugs (mostly just pot and coke) VERY prevalent. Every group does it.</p>

<p>I used to be part of the scene. Bad experience with drinking led me to stop those days, I smoke on occasion, but I used to smoke a LOT. I will never touch coke though.</p>

<p>Public suburban</p>

<p>Drinking, drugs (weed)</p>

<p>Popular with, well, the popular kids. I play sports and am "smart," so I'm sort of the intermediate who knows and is friends with many different groups. Some of the "popular" kids say that it would be funny if I got drunk at a party because I would start reciting the dictionary. A little funny, yes, but I'm also not stupid and do not want to do anything I'll regret (namely, getting killed or killing someone). That stuff's not for me.</p>

<p>What type of school do you go to (private, public, rural, city)? public school, ~2000 kids
Does your school have a prevalent drug or drinking social scene? not really. Maybe? I was completely out of the loop with drinking and drugs in high school. People drink and smoke pot, but I know hardly anyone who does hard drugs
Are you part of the scene? Not at all. Goody two shoes, that was me.
Who is part of the scene(jocks, hipsters)? our student government, lol. Stoners and skaters and hockey players also in particular</p>
