Probably more likley to be in the bog snorting something to get them through the day.

Re: Teenagers smoking

someone mentioned how it used to be a lot stricter at moorhead way back when, does anyone know if they still make you stand when another teacher enters the classroom?

i remember when i was "asked to leave moorhead", and went to hollins and the first time this happened i looked a right pratt when i was the only one that stood up!

Re: Teenagers smoking

I think its terrible that nothing is done to stop them these days, though realistically what can they do. I dont smoke now and haven't done for years but I did on and off at school and was caught twice, the fact that I'd been caught didn't bother me at all, fags were conviscated, got lines once and litter picking on the second occasion and that was it. I hate seeing teenagers smoke now, they think the're cool or hard but really I just think its sad.

Sometimes you have to be cruel to kind.

Well my mum did that to me when I was 14 only it was NO 6s if I remember right, it didn't work and I smoked for another 20yrs but now I find it the most repulsive thing in the world, the smell, the taste and all them tab ends in ashtrays, she would have been very proud to know her punishment eventualy worked.

Most people want a young head on their old shoulders.

if kids can get away with buying booze under 18 they can sure enough get away with buying cigarettes under 16.
my parents threatend me that if i ever touched a fag they would make me smoke a whole packet till i was sick, ive still never touched one to this day.
