Every year I hear rumors that a certain someone has dropped out of high school and they were going to be a senior. It breaks my heart to think they just had one more year, and their life was off to a good start. Not finishing
this last year is detrimental to destroying their future. Not many good-paying jobs want emoployees that do not even have a high school diploma.
I think it is vital for our school to do a random drug search every so often to check for drugs in our school. The following link lists the laws for a drug search in school today.
I am sure that anyone that would read this today that is a drug user would spit at the fact that they do not get their freedom to use drugs, but isn't it illegal anyway? Drugs fry brains, and in the course of the actual drug use a user is not going to want to stop. I do feel if someome is caught though, they should not be punished with harsh acts like jail or community service. Jail does not fix the problem. First of all, the drug user is so enraged from being locked up that they do not care what drug counselors or what anyone else says. Secondly, there are ways people in prison can get drugs. I do not know of any ways, but I have heard of stories of people who do get drugs through various sources.
Schools these days need to solve the problem before they happen, not trying to fix it after they happen. We can keep giving schools and students unlimited freedoms or we can stop drug use and help stop crimes that these students could do in the future. The preceding graph states that drug use is only getting worse and this graph only progresses to 1995, not 1999.
