My god. 10 guys from my school were taken to the police station today to give urine tests and it reached the news. The comments on the internet news sites are the stupidest I've read in a while.
1) The commentators blame the term "elite school". Of course, kids from higher schools shouldn't smoke weed but when "normal kids" do it, it's okay! "OH, ELITE SCHOOL KIDS WITH THEIR RICH PARENTS, YOU SHOULD PUNISH THEM, LOOK WHAT THEY'VE DONE, DRUG ADDICTS!!" If anything, the good schools have more pressure, more stress, therefore it's logical that drugs are used.
2) The commentators have no idea what kind of lives the busted youngsters have and start calling them drug addicts and fucked up people right away. I know every one of the 10 busted dudes, some of them are a little weirder, most not at all, decent-learning average people.
3) The worst douchebag commentator said that when he was young, he drank and smoked and went on to harsher things from there and says that this will happen to everyone who's tried illegal things. You not being able to control yourself doesn't mean everyone else has to be so dumb and go on the wrong way.
4) The fact that 15-year olds are forced to take a drug test is already disgusting, all because someone had to rat on them. It wouldn't even be that big of a deal, just get their punishment and live on with it, but the media expands it 10 times larger and lets the masses unleash their prejudiced rage.
5) Some people claimed that everyone who gets caught with a drug should carry a harsh punishment for the rest of their lives, that it would be sure they knew what they had done wrong! 15-year olds destroying our society with that green menace. OFF WITH THE HEADS!
