I just walked up into our middle school to use the restroom, and I noticed all of their "drug-free" posters, telling the harmful effects, the risks you're taking, and just overall that it's bad. I look around our high school, and I haven't seen any of these. It's like they've decided that we're in high school and we aren't going to listen to a thing they have to say anymore. I'll admit, I've done some dumb stuff in my life, but I've also learned from these. Kids these days, even in high school, need more than the occasional assembly telling us stories about stuff that happens. Our biggest deal in this county, in my opinion, is marijuana. It's one of those things that's always going to be around, legal, or not. Kids have started using other products similar to these, like the insence they sell at some stores or K2, K3, K4, which are more harmful than marijuana, just because our school drug tests them. These products give off a high that doesn't last nearly as long as that of weed. Therefore, our students, possibly even our future leaders of this country, are using this product more and more, intensifying the dangers. I'm not saying that our country should legalize weed, I'm just saying, it'd be a lot more healthy if our school didn't do the drug testing, and if they'd just let us make our own mistakes.
I understand why we drug test, and I'd be willing to take one at this very moment, only because I know I'd pass. I just believe that what we do in our spare time is none of the school's business. It's not their business what we do when we aren't in their possession. I do believe however that it is our school's right to know if a student brings such illegal products to school. Those rules aren't in question. I'm not saying that PCHS is a bad school, I'm just saying they need to take a step back and realize that they're pushing their students to a much more dangerous fate, because some of the things that are impossible to test for, such as duster, are far more dangerous than that of a simple blunt.

Illegal Activities, and our School

Decisions.
It always happens the same. The moment someone walks out of my life, everyone that had previously walked out returns. It's like they have some batcall type thing that just screams "Hey! Steph is single, vulernable, and is to the point where she's not caring anymore, go eff up her life a little bit more, give her some more options of eff ups." So, it wouldn't exactly say that, but it seems like it does. The moment something ends, past interests decide they want another chance. This is a huge problem with T.B., and a few others, but we'll keep them nameless. I despise him, but he's one of my favorite people on this earth. Never did I think that I could love someone I also hated. He's a great dude, but he also is notorious for walking out of my life when I need him most, and walking back in when I would rather just not have him anywhere near me. This is one of those points. If he were to walk back in at this point, it would probably not be a good thing. I'm moving on, and I know he's going to do something to eff it up for me. He's going to walk back in at the point when I finally get things back on track for myself.
I love him, I know I do, but I don't think I want him back in my life right about now.
Honestly, I don't know. He is one of those people that always has me thinking.
