Ummm yeah sure...
I’m not pp, but why is that unbelievable to you?
I guess people who convince themselves that all high schoolers are skipping school to drink and hook up in the poison ivy aren’t really rational, so forget I asked.
Keep clutching those pearls and move along. You probably don't really know your high schooler(s).
Who said I have a high schooler? You’re the on clutching pearls, fool.

Lol. You think with all the type A parents who live around the school and any nearby stands of trees (what woods?) that a significant number of kids could get away with this? And that those same parents ignore all the missed class notifications?
Let me tell you, even if the parents looked the other way, the NextDoor Nellies wouldn’t. People walk their dogs through the nearby parks all day long. Drunken teenage trysts in the area aren’t “common.”
I walk through Rock Spring “park” during lunchtime. Substitute degenerate teens with hoardes of preschoolers skipping rocks in the creek.

Wakefield doesn't have the same level of drug and alcohol and parent-sponsored alcohol parties. Ask the police - they'll confirm.
The problem is people expect such things at Wakefield because it's Wakefield. those people are idiots. Do they really think most of Wakefield can afford the expensive drugs found at YHS? and a lot of kids are working jobs on top of school. There's stuff in every school; but richer kids beget more expensive drugs.

Yes it’s all true. Feel free to go to a different high school. Keep YHS under populated.

That’s a trail which seems to have walkers 24/7 — and crazy small and narrow.

Go into the woods? What woods?
The woods behind the baseball field. Have you ever seen Yorktown?
The school has a pretty serious drug problem, but maybe not more so than area privates with a similar socio-economic student body.
I live right there!!!
Those are not woods.

You’re talking about the strip of trees with the walkway cutting through to Chestnut Park? The one that families and dog walkers use all day, every day? Those miscreant teens must have some excellent invisibility cloaks.
