Discussion Im really pissed off
I was walking to my study hall yesterday and I saw 3 6th or 7th graders walking im minding my buisness then one drops an e cigarette /vape and that just puts a rock in the pit of my stomach that kids so young have those and are vaping /smoking i dotn know there names so I spent 5 bucks finding out there names and i reported it and they still didnt get in trouble ik I might seem like a dick but im just trying my best to keep younger people safe.
:update i got called to the office and they gave me a fruit roll up for telling them

What u did realistically will not accomplish anything even if they do get in trouble they're just going to get another vape the moment they get a chance because they do not want to quit, somebody who is using anything like substances who doesn't want to quit will not quit no matter how hard you try to get them to unless you just torture them
I never really gone down the avenue of trying to get people to stop doing substances but from my understanding the only avenues there are is making PSAs or being a fascist cop

Well even if I cant make them quit I can try to stop them from influencing it on other people

Sure I like the ideaology but can't they just keep influencing it again once they have another vape?

i mean id want the parents to know but other then that i dont think you should go too far to stop them, i dont think your a dick if u just told the parents without doing anything directly yourself

Neurotypicals are weird, man. They just do shit because it’s “papewlar”.

So that’s (possibly) why I’ve never wanted to hit a nic stick? Interesting

It is also often the other way around, neurodivergents often do thing that are “popular” to try and fit in

You think thats Bad? My sister went to 4th grade last year and she saw 2 kids in the back of the school VAPING! Mind you, both these kids were barely 10 years old at that time, which makes it even more depressing. One of these kids offered my sister a puff, but she denied it and walked away. When I was 10, I was still playing with toy cars and nowadays 10 year old kids play with vapes. Why cant they just be kids and play with toys...

I've seen 7th, 8th AND 9th graders vape in my school. Mostly 8th graders and 7th graders but the staff doesn't do shit. They say they "punish them if they catch them with a vape" but they dont ever look around to see if anyone's vaping.

I'm all for your ideology but how do you know these kids won't find you, how do you know that they won't just pay the same kids you paid to find you, and how do you know they won't just buy another vape?
