PV

I personally dont see anything wrong with the post. the poster didnt mention any names, and from what I read didnt intend on doing so. I think ppl are jumping the gun just a little by bashing the poster on this.

absolutley not.


no other school EVER has anything like this posted on here.

its always powell valley.

its ridiculous that GROWN ASS PEOPLE get on here and ask about teenagers ordeals when they have NO BUSINESS KNOWING IN THE FIRST [censored] PLACE.

Agreed. As long as no names were mentioned, I do not see a problem with it. Being a parent of a student at PVHS, it helps to be informed of such things that other students are into. You may say that's none of my business since that occurred off school grounds, but the person was still a student there and I want to know what kind of people my son may have interactions with. I'm sure other parents would feel exactly the same way. And it may seem like people are constantly downing PV, but if this had happened at any other school, I'm sure this post would still have been made.

This is my one and only post on this topic. If this had been any other school, would the same stuff be posted on here about them? Maybe, maybe not. But the one thing I have learned is that instead of talking about what someone (a child) has done, why don't we as adults step up and see what we can do to help prevent the rampant drug use in our community?

I understand some people being upset, because if I recall correctly, they have admitted being friends with players, and that can make it a tough line.

Be upset at the kids who mess up and not the people who dare discuss it (vaguely and without names).

I mentioned this the other day, and our protective communities is a big reason that we have the drug problems we have around here. Everybody is somebodys friend. Everybody knows them, their daddy, their family, etc. They know they are good people, etc.

You know what, when I was growing up, my dad knew everybody in it seemed like a 10 state area. If I messed up or did something stupid, he knew it before I got home. He had told people if you ever see him messing up, tell me. I made the mistake of speeding going to Norton once, and when I walked in the door, he was asking me why I was going so far up Norton. And make no mistake, and I know a lot of you don't know him, my dad sure didn't keep it quiet. Good, bad or ugly, everybody knew anything/everything about me. Did it stop me from misbehaving or doing stupid stuff? You bet it did. Even if I didn't get in trouble legally, I knew or felt like I'd be in trouble anyways.

Now again, we don't want kids names on here, and I sure as heck don't wanna throw any kids under a bus, but I also don't think we can constantly sit here and say hush up and pretend it doesn't happen. How many good kids do we have to lose because we want to protect them, nobody wants to get them in trouble, and then they either end up dead by drugs/alcohol? How many great people have we lost, and by lost I don't mean dead, I mean just turn into for lack of a better word 'scum'. I mean I'm sick of it and instead of trying your best to make sure that nobody dares discuss it and that someone might be the slightest bit embarassed, jump the people who have golden opportunities, second chances, etc and mess up again.

We can't because even the vague discussion of drugs turns into a rant how about adults shouldn't be discussing it.

One point that I didn't mention

Ok, we're informed that it was a player from PV. Thats as much description as we need. Nobody needs to provide anymore information.

To pretend that this only happens at PV is a joke though.

Someone asked why don't we discuss adults and all. Well we did, to a point, mentioning how it would be good if teachers and all were tested.

I guess one point to me is, I don't care as much if an adult screws up. I dont consider that as much of a waste, or as much of a thing to be upset and/or sad about. Adults know the repercussions (sp), quite often kids don't.

A truthful dialog.

I know that kids grow up, kids drink, kids make mistakes, but how do we stop making it such a common occurance.

Parenting starts at home. Rock you were raised knowing right from wrong. Most of todays kids that get into trouble come from homes that their parents have no discipline, and they perform 'wrongs' in front of their kids all the time. So when todays teens get out in the world, everything that goes on in their home is OK !!

I don't see anything wrong with the post. Had he mentioned a name then I'd understand the problem. I don't agree with minor's names being mentioned when somethin like this happens, especially on an internet forum. Unfortunately, when football season rolls around, if it was a well known player ( and I have no idea who and don't wanna know) then it'll be public knowledge. That's just the way things are. Not saying it's right, but that's how life works.

why should older people, who have no connection to the previous mention, think its okay to discuss a younger persons mistakes on an internet forum?

its not hush hush because of drugs, its hush hush because its none, NONE, of your business.
