<p>I know that you shouldn't really talk about drugs in your college essays. However, is it okay that I mention how my role model (fictional character) helped me stay away from weed and alcohol, or is this topic a bit weak?</p>
<p>Personally, I wouldn’t do it…</p>
<p>Everytime I read the essay books, or talk to admission counselors they say they’ve gotten some topics kids say their parents would raise eyebrows at… however, I’ve never personally heard any of these “crazy” topics. It’s not like you’re talking about a current cocaine addiction, lol, you’re talking about normal teenager stuff - normal peer pressure, and most importantly how you stayed out of it! It seems like an interesting one to me.</p>
