36 year old addict here and I cannot stress how much people need to speak to their kids about this #1 problem in society. Educate yourselves as much as possible and have a civil conversation. I only told my folks 9 months ago and they were convinced I wasn’t the type. Trust me…..there is no “type”. I wish I had told them earlier as I could have really done with their amazing support sooner which would have made it easier.
Can anyone actually argue against community leaders trying something different in regards to the elephant in the room that is destroying so many lives? It seems most have just given up and thrown it in the too hard basket. Grow some balls leaders!
I understood all of the words without panicking and looking them up. That in itself is a scary thing, that the Charny language has not changed much compared to the language of the yoof of today. Someone is thinking of the children. Usually, it is the children. Gone are the fear tactics our parents deployed, “if you try drugs you little b*st*rd, I will kill you” which often led to paranoiac attacks when their little darlings succumbed to peer pressure and tried the evil weed. Nothing like thinking every car that goes past is your dad, coming to kill you for trying weed, to get you to stop.
At least you put some explanation at the bottom -I was seriously worried that your daughter might have used the phrase “educational outcomes”. That would be awful and if she was mine I’d be going through her stuff looking for political pamphlets or wherever else she picked up such sick language like that. Frightening.

Otherwise, I’d still be googling random menus in Amsterdam looking for “Oval”.
