<p>Hunt, you may be right. I hope so.</p>
<p>I do think smart kids can be that dumb, and I do think kids can be straight A students and be using. If the boy is on his way out the door, and on the phone, I can imagine a bit of cocky self-confidence from someone who may have been using for quite a while.</p>
<p>But there is a level of emotional remove in the original post that struck me when I first read it. It definitely has some of the markings of a ■■■■■ post. Having recently known of a young man who never woke up after the combo of heavy exercise, alcohol and coke, I am admittedly an easy target for this poster. I hope it’s a fake- truly don’t wish this kind of heartache on any parent.</p>
