<p>I'm taking MaterS's suggestion of starting a new thread on this subject to extricate it from a more specifically titled one. </p>
<p>My daughter tells me, and I have good reason to believe her, that she has never been in a situation at boarding school where drugs and alcohol are available. She knows kids who have been involved, but the people she spends time with have other interests. I don't worry for a second about her doing anything to get in trouble, and we've talked a lot about how to get out of a situation that could be problematic.</p>
