[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dont worry they speed right on up in 9th grade when the drugs/drinking start. [/quote] Boy, that was my experience as a kid. I went to a small Catholic school in Madison, WI (which is a bit different than the east coast, no uniforms, minimal religion that I can recall) and through 8th grade I don't think anyone in my class had kissed another kid, gotten drunk, or done drugs (except one kid who got hemp hard candies and said they were making him high - in hindsight I don't think they had THC). Anyway, I moved away after 8th grade and went back to visit the next year and shadowed a friend at the high school (same school and campus, mind you) and was gobsmacked. It's like all those things hit hard all at once. Very jarring for me to see that change without the progression over 10 months.[/quote] FWIW that was not my experience in Catholic high school and it has not been my kids experience either. [/quote]
