[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]A lot of those private school athletes are doing lines on the weekends because they have the money.

Please provide ANY evidence that supports this.  This is so ridiculous.  Anecdotally, I have heard of many more kids in public school using hard drugs than in my kid's private school. BTW, I have kids that went to public school as well, so I know of what I speak.[/quote]

Kids are kids no matter where they attend school. It seems to me that a lot of you parents are not tapped into what's really going on with these kids. My son is 18, when he was middle school (Loudoun County) he told me kids were hiding their weed vapes in the bathroom. I've grown up in this area and friends/family in DC, MD and as far out as Winchester. Maybe your kids don't talk to you about what their peers are really doing, but this stuff happens...often. I've heard stories of kids getting high before games, young teens giving oral sex and posting it Snapchat, kids drinking.

Y'all need to wake up!!

From NIH:

"Experimentation with alcohol and drugs during adolescence is a statistically normative phenomenon. Most adolescents tend to initiate the use of alcohol between the ages of 13 and 15 (O'Malley, Johnston, & Bachman, 1998), and a recent Monitoring the Future study found that 54% of graduating seniors reported having tried an illicit drug (University of Michigan, 1998). As a normative phenomenon, alcohol and drug use in late adolescence is not strongly associated with problematic outcomes."
