Recent real-life Experience. The Thread.


Recommended Posts

Before I begin, I just want to let our new moderators know that the following topic would be considered by most to be PG-13, and therefore appropriate for these forums.

 

Just wanted to let you know, because I'm a little freaked out by this and wanted to share it with someone I don't really know so they have no influence over it.

 

[serious]Right forumites, how many of you have heard scary stories about things that are told by teachers to scare kids away from certain things (ie drugs), and thought you would never experience them?

 

Beat this.

 

I've known this kid named *snipped by Dav* since the second grade, and although he was quiet and shy, he was generally well-liked and all.

 

He was quiet, that is, until this year.

 

This year he's been very talkative, very hyper, and very violent. Only last week did he return from a two-week suspension for bringing weapons to school. Not just your everyday kid-accidentally-brought-a-pocket-knife-to-school type thing either. He had:

 

- A lighter

- A throwing knife

- A pocket knife.

- A throwing star

- Firecrackers

 

Now don't get me wrong and think that *snipped again by Dav* is a misunderstood freak of nature. IMO he's relatively normal. Until this year.

 

But that's not all.

 

All through the year, I've seen these suspicious-looking twins giving him what looked like a can of Red Bull every morning.

 

Red Bull. Psh. Boy was I mistaken.

 

That's right folks. Because today I found out that a kid who rides my bus, has a decent-looking girlfriend, and at age fourteen, is an alcoholic. :guiness:

 

He was so loopy by fifth period today that he nonchalantly told myself and the person sitting next to me that the cans he was getting from the aforementioned twins was beer. He even smelled like it too.

 

We've been friends (not close friends, not best friends; casual friends) since second grade. He's boozing in school. Taking a quiz sixth period his hands were shaking, and he couldn't stop laughing. Oh God, and what a freakish laugh it was. He wasn't himself. 0.o

 

And he's telling me not to tell. Now I know I should, that it's the right thing and stuff, but the problem is, we've since discovered that it was a sixth grader on our bus that snitched on him for the weapons, and I don't want to be seen by everybody else in the school as a whiney-tattle-tale eigth grade gone sixth grade prat.

 

I'm almost afraid at this point that if I tell he's going to try to hurt me somehow.

 

HEEEELP! :wornout:[/serious]

 

Mmk. Discuss and offer advice please?

 

@Ave/etc.: Not intended to be forum drama, the real-life drama's bad enough.

Find somebody else to do the snitching. Get "goody 2 shoes Suzy" to be the prat. Or say to her (or anyone else), "say, doesn't <so and so> seem ...tipsy?"

 

Firecrackers? Unless they're the Roman candle kind, I wouldn't worry. Or talk to him about not being a drunk in school...do it at home while he's not (yet) driving.

Peer pressure is no excuse to compromise your integrity. Your friend is violating the law. With how he is behaving and the weapons he possesses, he could very well be a danger to someone. Drunk teenagers are bad enough. Armed teenagers are worse. Have both and it is very likely someone will get hurt. In this instance you must put aside your peer's opinions and do this for your own good. If you're insistent about them not finding out, report it to a safety hotline, a teacher, a school counselor or the police and ask that your name not be given out. It is quite likely that they will oblige you in that.

 

This kid's behavior is not going to change. It will only get worse and he will only get more drunk - from what you described he obviously doesn't want to change and those twins are doing nothing to help him. If he keeps getting drunk and carrying around weapons, how long do you think it will be before he attacks somebody? Can you honestly say that if he stays drunk for all his time at high school (which he likely will) that nothing will happen because of it? I would be very skeptical if you said yes.

 

There are a lot of people you can report this to. For the sake of your own and other's safety, let someone who can do something know!

If he doesn't know you know, you might be able to see if you can get the "Red Bull" from him; tell him you didn't get much sleep and could use a picker-upper. He'll either let you have it, tell you no, or tell you what's in it. If you DO get the Red Bull, take a whiff (if it really does smell like al) and tell him it smells weird (still don't drink it).

 

Tell his parents if you have to. Discuss with him why he does it...something more than "it's just fun" has to be the answer. It's quite possible that he's bored. Go play a sport, beat each other with kindo sticks, jog, get involved in something that requires more thought process than a drunk can handle.

 

So many options...I'd still talk to him first. Maybe tell him about the repercussiosn of drug abuse on school property and tell him it scares you about the weapons.

Didn't read the OP; assuming it's not worth reading anyway.
I might or might not give you a short resume about it's content? Or did you catch everything necessary from marty's post?

 

But remember, "or"-questions shall not be answered with "yes/no"-answers.

Haha, someone else found out. He snitched instead. Very out of character for the bloke.

 

And yeah, Culprit 1 was doing it "just for fun." It fits his style anyways.

 

Meanwhile, said snitcher also found out about five other kiddos being supplied by the twins! 0.o

 

Thinking violent thoughts, those culprits must be. Better *snipped by Dav* being the snitch than my other classmate or me.

 

I'm glad this is over [for now] though. School drama's at an all-time high of late.

well. if you're the only ones he's told, i wouldn't say anything.

 

because then he'll know it was you and then you could be on the receiving end of the throwing star. :)

 

i'd just keep it hashish hush-hush until someone else finds out he reeks of alcohol. i mean, if you're casual friends, he's not going to like be all fdnnaeioaperjanzlla and use those weapons on you or whatever. and you should probably keep it that way.

Ky dad's little bro was killed by a

Roman candle durring the Nicaraguan Revolution.

One shot int through

The curch window and

set his ass on fire.

So sad..

 

As for Dav's case

Just dont get invloved

Try to stay away from him

And if he really starts to freak you out

break his jaw.

When they take him to the hospital

they're gonna realized he's a boozer

And everyone will forget about you

And they expel his ass

 

 

Problem solved.

:D

lol, my dad almost burnt his face with a roman candle.

 

Than my little god sister almost burned the house down and we were only allowed to do those little snake things and sparkelers the rest of the night

We're getting off the main subject; Ave's sexy/awkward story!
