Very Dissappointed

Ok, so you have your usual prestigious boarding school, where the standards are high, the best is expected of you, rules are everything, great and many oppurtunities are available, the whole community is like a family, tuition is as high as a good college if not higher, the food is free, you have your dormitories, separate buildings for certain departments, 430 student enrollment TOTAL for grades 9-12, and its one of the best chances to get into some of the greatest colleges. It's the type where you'd think nothing can go wrong, and everyone is smart, well disciplined, and it's the best of the best. Ladies and gents, welcome to Blair Academy. Of course you think the community is flawless because of Blair's prestigious reputation. So when you find that 5% of the population is caught smoking marijuana alll in one day, what do you make of it now?

Ladies and Gents, a very disappointing event has just occured as of today at my school. Approxmimately 17-20 sophomores and freshman combined were caught either smoking, or concealing the green 7 leaf weed. Yes, that's about 5% of the whole student body including day students; about 10 dorms (i guessed), and about 20 pepople per floor, about 4 floors in each dorm. One of the dorm is just called the Flight Deck(reason for name has a long story), and it is composed of only one floor, and 20 people. Basically, to the comparison to the amount of people caught to my floor, including Prefects but not RA's, my whole floor would be gone. That 5% of the studet body again people. Call it stupid, call it dumb, call it whatever. Most of these people are subject to expulsion, if not a long-ass suspension. And Im talking people who dot have such a good reputation here, and those who you would least expect to do such a thing, and oh yea, THEY'RE ALL MY FRIENDS. Now, seeing them and hearing about them doing such a stupid act, ESPECIALLY HERE justs makes me very VERY upset, especially those who you least expect to do it. And to the community, these are very cool people who has literally everybody as their friend, and where they're looked up to and are some of the coolest people. SO yea, very dissappointing, and if theyre all expelled, many here would be very upset. But also I have second thoughts about these guys, my friends. Not to be on the Discipline Committee(the groupe to hadle with such student affairs) side, but In some ways I don't feel sorry for these people. It was their choice in their conscience to do such a horrible act, especially in a school where the standards are high, rules are everything, and everything best is expected of you. Whether it was to blend in to be cool, try it for personal benefits, or to just so they can say they did it, there's no right reason, and if one was to be depicted, the reason I sure would come up with, is straight stupidity. Don't get me wrong here. They shouldnt have even done weed in the first place. It's against the law.

Now, I am still with my friends, and only talking about it in a good way will help. Very upsetting day for Blair acadamy (www.blair.edu), and myself.

Insight is welcome.

So some short sighted, narrow minded hypocrite's can't see past the ends of their noses again. No big deal, I hope all those expelled go and become hugely successful despite this set back to prove it can be done.

I had friends make similar mistakes at an equally prestigous school, even though I wasn't at the school, there were suspensions and all sorts of lost priveleges, but fortunately most of the other students saw the consequences and learnt from it.

haha.


a freshman at my private school got busted selling reefer and meth in the bathroom within the first week of his enrollment :lol2:

Meh.... Investment bankers live on coke...

Its to bad they made such a stupid error in judgement. If they want to waste their money on that shit, then they should have been smart enough to do it off campus. Sounds to me that they aren't all that bright to begin with and made it in on mommy's money.

Are you upset they're smoking the ganj, or upset they chose to do it at school?

Are you upset they're smoking the ganj, or upset they chose to do it at school?

both, but more that they did it here.

It's their business to smoke it, if it doesn't affect you, why worry about it? A lot of my good friends smoke, and I don't, but I don't care.

Granted, it is fucking stupid to be doing it at school though.

I see dope deals in front of me everyday, i'm a freashmen. I go to a PUBLIC school where we MIX races, Round, I know its hard to understand but I have DIFFERENT kinds of people at my school, Including POOR people.

Poor is when you don't have alot of money & what you do have u use it to survive.

It was their choice in their conscience to do such a horrible act

hahahaha :lol: :lol: :rofl: :lol2:

I thought this was a joke at first... you make it sound like they murdered somebody.

Is this really such a big deal? I went to 3 different high schools, and every one of them I would see or talk to 30+ people that were smoking weed every single day (but i bet atleast 10% of the school was blazin at lunch, i would just see 30+). Its a normal thing. I used to smoke weed all the time at lunch. When i was in gr 11, we werent allowed to go to the bathrooms during class for a semester because some gr 9s were caught dealing coke in the bathrooms and whoever wanted it would go at a certain time. We would have these things called surprise "lock downs" once a month, where everyone has to stay in class while cops go threw the halls with dogs sniffing lockers. Everytime atleast 30 students would get busted with either weed, coke, E or steroids.

It seems like rich people dont know whats going on in the world... wow 15-20 people were smoking marijuana. Double or triple that and multiply it by everyday and you have an average public city high school.

I live in one of the richest cities/towns in North America, called Oakville (although my families not rich, lol.) Anyways we have more then half the school smoking weed, its insane.

I used to do it last year, every day in the summer was just bunning, but then i shit my pants when the cop found me with a half ounce. So i stopped.

i would hate to see your opinions on publics schools.

Exactly, even in rich city public schools its no big deal. I bet over 80% of the people that went to the high schools i went to smoked weed.... and 10% just at lunch, during school every day

I go to a PUBLIC school where we MIX races, Round, I know its hard to understand but I have DIFFERENT kinds of people at my school, Including POOR people.

Poor is when you don't have alot of money & what you do have u use it to survive.

:slap:

What is your point? How is racism in any way relevant to what we were talking about? Are you trying to say that poor people smoke marijuana 'cause they need to use their money to survive? :screwy: If they need it to survive then wtf are they spending it on drugs for?

I just realised something...

It's a top class rich boarding school right?

A lot of kids there are going to be doing shit a LOT worse and a LOT more expensive than weed.

5% of the students got caught smoking weed....HAHAHAHA funny...how about the 75% of people at my job and about 90% of people in my department alone who do it....even some of my bosses....how about when you walk on my campus, everybody's asking each other for nug...and i've got teachers who like to roll blunts in their spare time.....

granted nobody's stupid enough to do it where they can get caught, other than that 5% of people in your school kid....it's not that bad damn....second guessing your friends because they toked up....you've got a lot to learn kid.......

A lot of my good friends smoke, and I don't, but I don't care.


You sure as hell used to care. Mental head.

i dont see how i'm over reacting. In such a small community, it matteres to everyone. Instead of being in secluded groups, which I find to be more common in public schools, here we're just one big family. At lunch you could be with your friends and can be sitting only a few seats away from a person you really despise. and Sure some people hate some other people, but no one really shows it or does anything about it, because they know it;s not worth doing anything against that person, because you are risking alot, and so you back off and say whatever and take the right steps such as ignoring them. It;s that type of community. but i dunno, It's hard to explain. Everything such as this affects the community here. I sure as hell dont doubt that it happens elsewhere but here, it has more effect here. I guess I can say the reason why is because you live with these guys for at lease 2 years if not all of your 4 years here.I also care because half these guys were my friends, and it's very upsetting to see them leave, and wonder why did they do what they did in the first place. ALso, there are boy dorms and girl dorms. THe dorm called Insley, where the boy sophomores and freshmen are, about 2 freshmen left (other freshman was in FLight Deck), and 12 sophomores(other 4 were form the sophomore/junior dorm, East and Davies), out of the 31 people in insley, including prefects. That's almost than half the dorm.

I dunno, maybe I am over reacting, and so are my other friends and the girlfriends of the people that left. But at Blair, things affect everyone around you, especially very deeply when they are your friends.

It's hard to explain.

it's simple really.... you are all rich, so stuff that wouldnt faze the average american, you guys blow out of proportion.

I grew up in an urban immigrant community and me and my friends tried weed for the first time when we were 12 and even got drunk at school in gr 8. We werent worried about being expelled, we were worried about getting are asses kicked by our parents if we got caught. We were taught if we have a problem with somebody to deal with it, ignoring doesn't make problems go away. How are you guys gunna deal with the real world if they're raising you to be spineless? If i have a problem with somebody, i'm gunna tell them, and if they continue giving me a problem they're gunna be leaving something for the tooth fairy

So you should understand why most people are laughing at this thinking, whats the big deal

it's simple really.... you are all rich, so stuff that wouldnt faze the average american, you guys blow out of proportion

not exactly. plenty of people are on financial aid here.

I understand how this is a life lesson for them, but thinking that we're getting such an elegant education here, I'd expect them not to do it.


Basically, the whole point of this thread was for me to say how I'm so upset and just to share these recent events. I'm dissappointed at why they would do it, and especially here when they know the rules are upon them. All I hope is that they can learn from it. Secondly, we're not all white here. we have a large diversity here, such as people from as far as Korea, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, to just around the corner like New York, and still pretty far, California. thirdly, what i meant to send was also that the rest of the year for many people is gunna suck because so many good and awesome people left.

I dont think they'll expell them just for smoking a little weed.... thats like a part of growing up, they should expect kids to make mistakes. The should only be suspended

I dont think they'll expell them just for smoking a little weed.... thats like a part of growing up, they should expect kids to make mistakes. The should only be suspended

well the final result is that all of them are expelled for the rest of the year. some will be given the option to reapply next year.

dude, smoking is "cool" to those kids. Hmmm...we should think of something cool so kids like me (im 16) can join in the "cool" things!!! ...lmao...yeah, i just found out 99.99 of kids at my sckoo smoke....i hope not...that was just a joke...

I went to a catholic boarding school, I was friend s for a bit in 4th form with a delinquent who dealt al sorts of homebake, he never got caught.


In my 7th form year, 10 4th formers got expelled for dealing marajuana, they deserved it, anyone dumb enough to break the law at school SHOULD get expelled.

I'm sure you do things they don't agree with so why flip over something like this? They only people they're harming are themselves. It's their personal choice to smoke weed.

I would agree somewhat that this is an over-reaction, or maybe to word it better, he's making a fuss over something that he shouldn't really be concerned about.

Yes, these people broke the law, yes marajuana gives the school a bad image and yes marijuana should be kept out of schools. So long and YOU'RE not doing it, then it need not concern you.

They were right to be expelled and none of this would have happened if thier parents took the time to kick thier ass when they screwed up as kids. Mine did and I'm all the more thankful for it, gave me the dicipline to get where I am today

I never saw the big deal from the get go. You say that these were awesome people, and they were popular, loved by the community, great personalities, and now... "oh my god... they smoke weed? Im so disappointed."

Look what you just did. You're going to have to realize at some point that a lot of people smoke weed. You can choose to disassociate yourself from them if you want, but if this is a big shock to you, then you are going to have a rough time in the real world.

I can understand the disappointment. Kind of. When I was a freshman and sophomore I always told my friends I wished they wouldnt smoke weed. Then I moved to Maui, and I was the only one who didn't. I got over that disappointment real quick.

Just take this in stride and realize that there is a lot more disappointment where that came from. Sometimes you just have to accept other peoples' decisions and not be affected by it. Which is basically my own spin on Gotti's post. Your "rich" school (I know they arent all rich, but its an "upper class" school, which basically expects a "rich" "perfect in the public eye" image) is so disappointed by what happened, when that is the kind of thing that happens all the time. It seems that YOU and the school, are more affected by the idea that others will now see your school as being imperfect. Thats why people are laughing this off. That and the fact that in a public school if you don't smoke weed, and dont want to have friends who do, you will be in a very small, outcasted social group. You are forced to accept other peoples' differences, which is a good thing about public schools. Its more like the real world.

I agree that they should have been more careful though. If they had plants in the dorms that was stupid, and if they didnt hide their stashes good enough that was stupid, because its one thing to be proven as a weed smoker, and its another to be busted red handed on school property. The idea behind that is that smoking weed is your own perrogative, but possession of plants and weed on campus is a sign of disrespect.

Im not sure what hurts you more. Is it the smack to the face that your friends smoke weed? Or that they would be so disrespectful to have it in excess in the dorms?

If they were all busted with like a gram, or a twenty sack or something, I say tough luck to the kids. But if it was a lot, I think they had it coming. I personally don't think high schoolers should smoke weed, but I know that there will never be a time when all people under 18 will realize they should wait until they graduate to start messing with weed. What happened at your school is not a big deal. Punish them, yes. But don't over react about it just because "the community" is shocked. The community needs to get over it, and so does Blair.

sigh, i guess. the most dissappointing part was seeing them all leave. it still leaves me to think, why. i guess all you can say is stupidity.

i know that it was their stupid decision to do weed, and therefore the consequence is expulsion, the disappointment of their friends and alot of anger against them. i said it in my first post:

But also I have second thoughts about these guys, my friends. Not to be on the Discipline Committee(the groupe to hadle with such student affairs) side, but In some ways I don't feel sorry for these people. It was their choice in their conscience to do such a horrible act, especially in a school where the standards are high, rules are everything, and everything best is expected of you.

Don't get me wrong here. They shouldnt have even done weed in the first place. It's against the law.


yea i guess i got too worked over, but it's cuz they were all good people and friends and the point that angers me that they decided to take a decent sized step at ruining their high school lives. Like rick said, i know they had it coming, because they were doing it in the dorm, and then went about freely, stoned as hell and attracting attention to themselves.

I also never misunderstood all of your points. I do understand them.

I understand that man. It sucks to have so many friends get expelled. But don't wonder why, its really nothing you should let bother you. Other people do other things, and you'll have to accept it.

i dont see how i'm over reacting. In such a small community, it matteres to everyone. Instead of being in secluded groups, which I find to be more common in public schools, here we're just one big family. At lunch you could be with your friends and can be sitting only a few seats away from a person you really despise. and Sure some people hate some other people, but no one really shows it or does anything about it, because they know it;s not worth doing anything against that person, because you are risking alot, and so you back off and say whatever and take the right steps such as ignoring them.

Second, you're not even consistent enough to spell your name the same way twice.

can you not ever speak english? what's with the "why no love? beecuz me stoopid?" talk? i believe the mininum age to join is 13. maybe you should consider reading the rules and guidelines then have an admin remove your account.
