Imagine them passing these things out at a party your daughter is at.

"Some of the students may face discipline", McCaskill said.

Amazing.

"They were saying, 'This ain't working,' then they started taking more pills, then they fell out," she said.

She must be Pentecostal ... "fell out" is how they describe people struck by the Holy Spirit during prayer.

(It's irrelevant, I know ...)

Most famous last words by a seventh grader.

And the winner is ... Loftus McCallahand for ... "This ain't working."

That's one way to tell the 'random drug testing' crowd to "shove it."

IF I was a teacher in the Memphis government schools, I would be passing this stuff out by the handfuls.

Idiot children. They are lucky to be alive.

The rest of us will be lucky if they don't breed more of their type.

Heh, true, but I was thinking along the lines of a "date rape" scenario.

Although passing out at High School parties did seem more like a right of passage when I went. Not the same environment now, though.

May? They better face discipline, however I doubt the parents of these kids held the same belief system my parents did. "If you get in trouble at school, watch out because it's going to be worse at home.' This rule worked so well with me I practice it with my children too.

I can remember when Tic-Tacs mints first came out. My best friend's mom offered me one.

Fortunately, my mom had warned me what drugs could do to you. So I politely declined. But I remember thinking, Poor Scott, his Mom pushes drugs. Even after they explained it was a mint, I still declined.

What are kids thinking today that they will just take anything in any amount?

These kids don't understand the concept of delayed gratification. If they did, they'd have tried waiting at least a few minutes for the "rush".

7th grade!

God, these kids are starting earlier and earlier.

Parents need to watch out. It only takes 1 bad apple to spoil the bunch.

This is how kids operate, you only need 1 kid, and the rest jump on the bandwagon.

>Seventh-grader Sherrell Jackson said she heard one of the boys talking to students about the drugs in computer class

Oh yeah. Computers
lead to drugs. Drugs to music.
Then it's all down hill . . .
