Vice on Display

Just when I think that my school's social elite could not possibly become any more reckless/disappointing, they go at it again.

I don't know the full details, but at the least, some of ourseniors were reprimanded by the administration for posting pictures on their MySpace and Facebook pages which displayed underage drinking and use of illegal substances. Supposedly, their parents were notified.

So this school can bust underage drinking via cyberspace, but they remain oblivious to drug deals being made in the parking lot? That is really all I have to say about that. I guess some is better than none.

As for the students, well, this should not be a surprise to anyone. They were breaking the law and bragging about it. Like nobody is going to care when a robber pulls off a heist and then posts a video of himself rolling around in the money on YouTube? Surely at some point common sense has to kick in.

Drinking is for the most part a victimless crime (so long as the inebriated stay off the road and are not violent, neither of which can be guaranteed), but there is still a law against underage drinking and a law forbidding the use of certain substances. Whether one agrees with them or not, they have to be obeyed. Call up your congressional buddies down in Springfield if you want something done about it, or demonstrate, or something. But please, stop doing everything in your power to reinforce every negative stereotype about teenagers.
