Conflict Central in Adolecents
A conflict that was huge in my school was the presence of marijuana. Our school was known for its involvement in pot and our teachers knew about it too. It was not a drug problem per say but centered mainly on the sale and assumption of that one drug. Everyone knew about it and almost everyone accepted it. The conflict comes in when you got that 1% of students who thought that is was a wrong thing to do and all involved should be punished for their wrong doing. They had a crappy little club that teachers passed around for sponsoring because none of them wanted to deal with the club. So the conflict stood when you entered your sophomore year (my school only had three grade levels in it) would you be for it or against it? Although I've only smoked pot twice my group of friends never got interested in it. At lunch everyone knew who sold the pot and who the "potheads" were. The anti- drug people stood out as well. I had chosen to not take a side. I wasn't against it and I didn't care if someone was lighting up in the bathroom. One of my friends did date one of the dealers but other than seeing him out of school at her home he didn't push anything on me. The school had tried to stop it but they were futile attempts. The school would do drug raids of dealers and they would keep the pot in their backpacks. When the school checked the backpacks the pot would be on the students. There was always a way out. To do drugs or not? They can do whatever they want to their bodies. It's their fault if they can't process anything when they hit thirty.
