The party did in fact happen. Its location is known to many people. The parents were out of town. The tweet was from the "official Churchill student Twitter feed". It does not make it more reliable that if it was from Joe Blow but I'll bet it was pretty accurate.

They should just forget these programs. They make no impact. Its like DARE. After twenty years of wasting time in the classroom they found out that kids who take the DARE course are just as likely to use drugs in the future as those who didn't take the course. Montgomery County finally pulled their DARE officers out of the schools several years ago.

I'm not questioning whether the party happened. I'm sure it did happen.

However, I am questioning your assertion, based on the fact that 5 kids threw up and 3 more couldn't walk, proves these programs "have no impact" for the rest of the student body. What about the kids who weren't throwing up? Do we know if they were influenced? No, we don't know.

Do you really think that the other party goers were not drinking and just didn't throw up? Do you believe that this was the only party held by Churchill students that night? If the truth were known there were probably ten but this one got some publicity because the Twitter man was there. Since teenagers have chosen to share their private lives with the world via Twitter and Facebook I'd suggest that you monitor a few of the Churchill student's accounts. Very revealing about the amount of alcohol and sex that happens on a given weekend.

22:18: the point is, WE DON'T KNOW how many, if any, of the other 600 kids in the class were INFLUENCED BY THE PSA. It's IRRELEVANT whether you can point to 10 kids who were obviously drinking. Like you, I'm sure that more than just 5 kids were drinking at one party. THAT'S BESIDES THE POINT.

The gripe you raised in your OP was about the PSA which you claimed didn't work. You have not proven this. To answer this question accurately, we need information (which we don't have, short of something like a poll of the entire Churchill student body) on whether there were 5, 50, or even 200 kids who WERE influenced by the PSA and DID NOT drink that night.

I think I recognize you, and you're hopeless with logic.

And since the program is about drinking and DRIVING the number of kids drinking is irrelevant (in this context) unless they tried to drive.

How do you think that they got there?

Well, if they've been listening to all the PSAs, they had designated drivers.

They were at a house. Some of the kids slept it off.

What parents go out of town and leave their teens and their house unsupervised? That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. Of course, all the kids are going to know where to go for a good time. Grow up parents!

The reality is that some parents are very immature themselves. They partied as teenagers and see it as a right of passage. Of course they knew their son was going to have a party. They just turned a blind eye to it until they saw it being posted on FB and Twitter. Probably it then dawned on them they could be held liable for what was going on in their house.

I'm a reporter with The Gazette writing a story about these accounts, like @OverheardInCHS. Talking about how these accounts are considered by some as cyberbullying, others are posting serious threats to the school. If anyone here would like to talk to me about cyberbullying, these twitter accounts, please call/email me ASAP at [e-mail] or 301-670-2067. My story is due Thursday, April 4.
