Am I the only one bothered by this...

Well, In school all the time I hear everyone from 8th graders to Seniors talking about their adventures in sex, drugs, and alcohol. Call me old-fashioned, but isn't that wrong? I think it's wore when the teachers are joining in the conversation. I think there's something really wrong with that. Am I the only one who thinks that?

 

I too was bothered with it when I was in high school. I hated how my maths lesson turned into a drugs based rant and my science lesson had someone say outloud "I could use this for me stash" every 15 minutes. I was disgusted by it and now I have to be around some more people like that.

 

yeah, I just hate how the teachers are talking about it like the kids are. They're not suppose to be doing that.

 

I hear people talk about it jokingly, but not as if they've actually did anything. Some I don't think are joking, but they are in the low numbers. That could be just in my school, though....​

​

 

Don't worry you're not the only one. I've heard stuff like this a lot at my school as well. Although the teachers don't join in on conversations about things of that nature, they don't really care. If some of them saw kids smoking they'd only say don't do that here and nothing else, yet they'd get people in trouble for talking in class =/

 

Yeah even one of my college tutors went on about how there may be a drug stash in the classroom somewhere, I think they need to take a course on not talking about drugs in certain ways.

 

these people are not joking. I fully belive all the stuff they say the did. It's pretty sick.

 

They also do that In my school, Mostly boys...


It bothers me so much, some of the things they say are really disgusting

 

When I went to public school, it horrified me to hear how kids talked about disgusting stuff like that. I'll admit, maybe I'm a little sheltered and innocent. I would never even DREAM about talking about stuff like that like they did. It's even worse with teachers joining in. People (like me) are offended by that kind of stuff, and teachers should really be more careful in how they talk about some of that stuff.

 

Something like that doesn't happen that much on my school, but I would be disgusted. I never tried it, and I'm never gonna try it. It just seems so gross and everything. It could really get disturbing, I understand that.

 

At my high school, there are more jokes about that stuff rather than any serious discussions about it. So, it's not "disturbing" since none of it's real.

 

To tell you the truth, I don't hear that at my school. I just see a bunch of girls pregnant and that's it. But what kind of bothered me was when I was in 10th grade, my biology teacher would suddenly get off topic and start talking about sex to us. But not saying, "Use condoms when having sex. And be careful not to sleep with someone that has an STD." No not that, he would ask us if we were sexually active. And he would also ask us about if we've drank or done drugs before. That's one thing I didn't like about that class. It just made me feel uncomfortable.​

 

i'm not gonna lie
i talk about stuff like that all the time
but hell its high school, we're mature
i talk about drugs all the time, not about what i do (except for weed) since i don't really do anything else, we all talk about drugs, what people do on them, different kinds and stuff. i mean ill admit i talk about doing shrooms osmetime in the future but ive never done anything besides pot.

Alcohol? i don't drink MUCH. but i still talk about it: what so and so did when he was drunk (or who) the best kinds of alcohol
sex? im a virgin and i still talk about stuff like that.

I don't see the different about talking about stuff like that or talking about the shows ppl watch, how a party was, etc.

its hobbies

 

This, among several other things, is why I chose homeschooling, and do not regret the choice in the slightest. Things like sex and drugs are taken so lightly, and the teachers don't do anything about it (some even encourage it). I have a friend who, with some of her friends at school, crushed a bunch of Smarties and pretended it was crack. You don't make jokes about things like that. Sure, it was a little funny, but also quite immature. And I've heard plenty of stories from my friends about how so-and-so were making out in the halls, and how these two people "whomped" each other (that's their little code for the f-word) and were bragging about it. I have also heard a couple times from friends that girls have had their bikini top untied by a group of boys, against her wish (that actually happened to one of my friends, it was at an after-school program and there was a swimming pool there) Where in heck are the teachers in these situations?

Alcohol is not quite as big an issue as sex/drugs, but it should still not be taken lightly. It's quite dangerous if it's misused, which is more likely to happen when jokes are made about it and it's not taken seriously. One person I know passed out at a party because he drank way too much. My great-aunt died of liver disease because of over-drinking. All of these things need to be taken seriously, and too many kids today take all of them too lightly.

 

It's not right but then again thats what we're raised to believe by people around us.I don't find it's right.The teachers have conversations about it once it turns that way.It seems to be the social standing these days.

 

I hear about this at school.......it get's annoying because I heard enough about it in 4th grade....why do people even talk about this stuff.

 

In 8th grade maybe it's a bit too young for that, but I think it's natural at older ages, I'm not at all against premarital sex, alcohol consumption or *responsible* recretional drug use (though I doubt I'd ever participate in the latter two). I'm pretty liberal when it comes to that sort of that thing.

As for whether the teachers' behavior in discussing these activities is correct, well, that depends on the details. Giving guidance to make sure that kids hurt themselves less with such things isn't a bad idea in my book.

 

what you said about the premarital sex is OK but taking drink and drugs isn't exactly what i'd call "smart".The younger you are the less you'll be able to handle drink and chances are you'll get alcohol poisoning or kidney failure.
The thing about the drugs, my dad works in a resource center that deals with an area that seriously effected by crime,drink and drugs.He's had meetings with people who take drugs and if people heard what those people say you wouldn't think for a second about taking drugs.
Here is just a little bit of education on the subject;
Drugs can cause damage all the parts of your body.
Drugs can give you a sense of dellusion where they over think there abilities, claiming they have the ability to drop four storeys and survive.
Snorting drugs can destroy the bridge of your nose to leave one huge whole where your full nose used to be.

 

There isn't a lot of pregnancy in my school, but too many peoples are druggies and alcoholics when they are younger. It's just wrong. One of the teachers was actually debating with a student on what brand of beer was better. Another reason I left. Kids are becoming adults really young theses days, or at least doing adult things.

 

Yes that does bother me too, but the sexual part isnt not so much true only about .05% Nationwide really are telling the truth.
