[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This article shows how good kids get wrapped up in this.  It may not be the dealer at their school, it may be someone online.  They may buy some multiple pills and some are real (or not dangerous) and some are deadly.  It's like playing with a half loaded gun.

"From there, investigators were able to piece together the lethal transaction, which was arranged on Snapchat. The dealer, Virgil Bordner, had sold Zach two, maybe three pills that were supposed to be Percocet. The one that killed him was likely the second one he took."[/quote]

[b]Are they really "good kids" if they're buying drugs illegally[/b]? I feel for those and their families whose mistake led to death because the pill was laced with fentanyl....but we have to keep in mind, the kid CHOSE to buy drugs and CHOSE to take them. No one is shoving these pills down their throat at gunpoint.

You have to stop the kids from wanting to do this. No border measure, SRO in the bathroom, is going to solve the problem. [/quote]

Teens can be dumb. They don’t have fully developed critical thinking and they are very influenced by peer pressure. Drugs have always been around in high schools but now they are much more lethal. I wouldn’t label kids “good” or “bad”.

Exactly. Some kids make bad decisions, but they aren't "bad".
