Nowhere did I say I was surprised that kids were drinking. How is that any sort of surprise??? My reaction was 1) how oblivious are parents 2) how foolish are students to allow (when they do b/c I know sometimes they don't know they are being photographed, but when you are mugging for the camera holding pot, etc...) photos to be taken 3) what kind of people do you hang out with who would put those online 4) people in those are easily identifiable, as far as schools, etc. and sexual predators are professional at this sort of thing, so the females are doing nothing but putting themselves at risk 5) it is not a matter of a college looking you up when you apply, but the fact that once things are online, they exist forever, even if the site is taken down, b/c they could've been copied, so a person never knows when something could come back to haunt them...I'll stop there. I think you get my point. If you look at what I said you'll notice I have not passed judgment on what the students were doing in the pictures one way or the other, nor has anyone asked me what I thought about the specific activities. BUT, if students are drinking, all at someones house, was there a designated driver? Ever have a friend die b/c of a drunk driver? I have. Twice. And, how do students come home smelling like pot and alcohol and parents don't notice. I mean, c'mon people, take responsibility. In this world, we need to be responsible for our own safety. The people in those pictures sure didn't look like they were, the people who posted the pictures were being jerks by doing so, and the parents were being negligent. But, I'm the jerk. eh, whatever. I've had two people I know killed by drunk drivers. I don't even want to talk about the women I know who have been sexually assaulted. Just those things may not have ever happened to anyone yet doesn't mean they may not. Take responsibility for your lives. Others won't C~
