True.
My Whitman nephew insisted to us that we don't live in Montgomery County. (We live in Silver Spring.)

PP, seriously? At WHITMAN? This year? Or someplace else?
Obviously a troll post. The hanging out at 7-11s is obviously a tip off.

You heard it here first, folks.

Having gone to schools with a variety of wealthy people, they tend to go for weed, coke, and whatever they can get from Mom & Dad's liquor cabinet / drub stash.
That is most teenagers poor and rich

Anonymous wrote:Seriously people. It is fine. I went there. Yes, some kids did drugs. Some kids drank. Most didn't do drugs. A lot didn't drink. If your kids can't handle Whitman, forget college because drugs and drinking are definitely at every college and you won't be there to watch over your kids. In all seriousness, I never saw anyone do anything in high school other than drink or smoke cigarettes and I was not a prudish kid and my parents allowed me to go to dc clubs, etc. I never actually saw crack or cocaine or heroin until college. BUT!! Kids did buy synthetic stuff that hadn't been listed as illegal by the DEA yet and they thought those drugs were legal. There is a new drug like that now and the "clever' types might think they are experimenting without breaking the law by using these drugs. Apparently the drug that is being used is very bad and has caused overdoses. But that is not a Whitman problem.
Your biggest problem at Whitman is that the kids think that everyone at Whitman is a genius and will go on to be rich like their parents. A LOT cannot adjust to the thought (perish it!) of having to move to Rockville (gasp) when they finish college and can't afford Bethesda. So save up, OP, so you can buy your kids a house in bethesda when they graduate. Because if they can't live in Bethesda, they will feel like total failures because they have spent their entire childhood putting down any place else.
