Rayism The intelligence of so few leads to the stupidity of so many.

I am a student at Starr's Mill High School and just recently have had an experience with Rayism. Rayism is a concept that an acquaintance of mine has come up with.

Recently I have heard that kids have been doing drugs in school, in class. How much more stupid can you get? Even more recently, a student passed out in school as a result of an overdose. Even more stupid.

What causes people to do this? In my opinion, the access to too much money and too much free time is the main cause. If kids start taking responsibility for their actions and get off of their mothers' nipple, they might actually start learning from their mistakes.

A lot of parents out their think they know what their kids are doing. In other words, most parents think their kids are angels. Yeah, right.

Parents do not realize what kind of school system they are sending the kids to. I hate to break reality to them but I go to a pretty doped-up school. I know many people that do drugs. I am around it all the time. (Well, gees, all I have to do is go to school.)

We all probably know somebody that does drugs, but we do absolutely nothing about it. We sit by and watch them destroy their future. I have sat by and watched somebody ruin his or her life and it is pathetic. I cannot emphasize enough how dumb-in-the-head people like that are.

Put subtlety, what the hell is the point of drugs or doing them? I probably will never know what the point is, but others will always beg to differ. I highly doubt that the student that overdosed will learn his lesson. Unless he gets help, he will just go and do it again. That is just the reality of it.

I will never feel sorry or concerned for him or other people that do drugs; they brought it upon themselves in the first place.

Drugs are one of the biggest problems in school currently. Why can't the parents wake up and smell the pot, and do something about it?
