"You know you've been to boarding school if..."

<p>im sooo there, mburg :)</p>

<p>it's thinking that drugs are actually a problem and making the decision to overlook them that bothers me</p>

<p>most people who do drugs are smoking pot, which isn't even a bad thing and shouldn't be considered so</p>

<p>Uhh. Actually. Smoking/buying/selling weed has the potential to ruin your life.
Just so you know. I dont know WHAT kind of shananigans you get into but in my world, smoking pot is bad.</p>

<p>yeah, boarding school kids, or kids that know, whats the party aspect of bs?
ive heard some pretty severe things..</p>

<p>any details?</p>

<p>Everytime I look at your posts Crickett, you always manage to get your point across in a sophisticated manner, right on!</p>

<p>Haha. Aussie: Sophisticated? I used the word shenanigan. Haha! But thanks.</p>

<p>heroine and cocaine have horrendous affects, pot not so much. </p>

<p>if you ask me pot should be made legal and alcohol illegal</p>

<p>I have no direct experience, but a good friend grows it in his basement and that is the last thing I would think of when his name comes up in conversation. It is very condescending to think your life will turn out better because you don't smoke</p>

<p>honestly, i would like to take a poll of how many 8th graders applying to top boarding schools think drugs are bad, and then check back in with them halfway through junior year and see how many of them have changed their mind....</p>

<p>"you'll rather soon be disabused of that notion, my friend"</p>

<p>I guess this is one of the perks of applying for sophomore year</p>

<p>when i said aspect i meant like, are they big in the bs's?
like, ive heard bs's are known to make you a partier.</p>

<p>Ur Welcome! Roses you sure are quite the anti-drug activist, (although I think marijuana is like potty training for more hard core stuff)...</p>

<p>roses&clovers: "I have no direct experience, but a good friend grows it in his basement...It is very condescending to think your life will turn out better because you don't smoke."</p>

<hr>

<p>Oh. Its condescending of me to believe that smoking an illegal drug when you're at a $50,000/ year boarding school is stupid? Tell your parents that when you get kicked out with a ruined reputation and your parent's money down the tubes. Hey. Good luck getting into college. I don't know what YOU'VE been smoking but the fact that you seem to think that marijuana usage is alright is ridiculous.</p>

<p>I heard that too, Mburg, and I have no doubt there are tons off campus parties with booze, drugs, whores, the works! lol But you always have to remain in control and say no. The ones who become partiers are those of weak will and self control.</p>

<p>Okkkk......everyone take a deeeppppp breath..............take a chill pill (non-narcotic), and relax, calm down.....let' avoid confrontations with other people or you will seem rally stupid like me yesterday, hahahahaha</p>

<p>ok, thanks aussie=]
your right</p>

<p>As a high schooler, I get invited to all the house parties you can imagine. I dance promiscuously and whatnot but I have NEVER smoked anything, nor drank anything.
Not everything is fruit punch and herbal cigarettes.
Come down to Fairfield County, CT where theres more "speed" then there is in a highway and more "crack" then in a sidewalk.
Its a valuable lesson to learn. You don't need to be stoned or under the influence to have friends and let loose.</p>

<p>I don't smoke, I don't drink</p>

<p>I'm not pro marijuana (except for those who have cancer, etc), but I don't think it's right to believe you are better than someone else based on something as little as smoking. Pot does not define who you are or what your future will be. I will not be smoking ever, but I have friends that are and will. Does it make them a bad, or lesser person, no. It is their life and I have no right to judge</p>

<p>welcome to high school</p>

<p>It makes them lesser in my eyes.
I'm guessing your pals are "stressed out" and just want to "relax". What kind of person resorts to illegal drugs that can be devastating to the human body? How about exercise? Healthy highs are everywhere. Your friends shouldn't harm themselves when the same sensation is available naturally and actually benefits you.
They are obviously idiotic enough to sacrifice their future for a ten minute trip.</p>

<p>But hey! I'm wiping my hands of the subject.</p>

<p>i dont think roses and clover is necessary ENDOSING drugs... she's just saying that pot isn't as bad as say, crystal meth. if you smoke a bit of weed, it does not automacially turn you into a crackhead on the streets. while I agree with you, crickett, that drugs can seriously mess you up, smoking pot is not the end of the world at all. don't jump on me, guys. it's just what i believe.</p>

<p>It is illegal, however, and will get you kicked out of bs in a minute.</p>
