[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a late 20 something who grew up in this area... I know at least one person at nearly school who left with a drug problem. Many of those people are now my age and have been using cocaine since HS (yes most of them are male and most were in athletics)  it is part of the culture for many of those schools.  I am not certain if the adults are just truly not aware of it or what, but I think it happens much more than people realize.

It is no secret that kids in this area have the money to burn so to say.  But unlike other less  affluent areas of the city, these kids are not killing each other for the drugs and many times that causes officials to turn the other cheek so to say. As the sister of a DC cop I have asked why they don’t set him up in some of the Georgetown or Upper NW bars  on a saturday night and do a "sting" operation.  He would fit in easily and catch at least a dozen people in only a few hours.  But again, he said that they don't worry about those areas  because in the long run it's the issues in SE etc. where people are killed over the same thing and that they are sending law enforcement.

Well...most of the STA boys over the last few years who were expelled for drug use on the Close or cited and reported on by local police away from school property have been non white. [/quote]
