Schools & Drugs.
Is it becoming a new thing for kids to do and sell drugs at school?
My school is full of many different types of kids and most all of them do or sell one drug or another so is anyone safe?
Do you see the same type of thing in the school you go to/went to?
Are school teachers/resource officers, parents and the media not doing enough to protect kids and teach them to not do those kinds of things or are their methods just not hitting home?
Is there really a way to stop kids from doing drugs and bringing them into schools?
Discuss.

Nah it's always been a thing.

Yup, in many schools it doesn't happen or is very rare.

Only once or twice.

Do you really think kids don't realize drugs are bad?

Yes, same way we prevent crime, drinking, etc. Teach them right from wrong, and create a society where it's unacceptable. If they even consider it, then the parent has already failed.

Well I live in a really bad city with a terrible High School. I'm sure our city has one of the largest heroine epidemics in my state. Kids probably do know drugs are bad but a lot of them still try them. Trying to teach kids and making it unacceptable in society is a fairly hard thing to do considering kids don't listen very well. Plus, lots of kids parents are the ones who they found out about drugs from.

For my school the punishment for bringing drugs is a few days in in-school suspension. That's really it. I feel like they are enabling them to do it and basically telling them there aren't any consequences for your actions.
It's all about the age,you don't have a work,you can but you're too lazy. Selling drugs it's easy and getting them it's even easier. There are no requirements for this "job" that involves fisical effort or the intelligence so everybody can do it. Young guys are atracted by those kind of things,you can't change the world.

Sounds like the solution is just to crack down hard.
