I'm 14 years old and living in a town where parents are clueless about their kids and there is nothing to do. The deal is that adults don't know what is going on with their kids or they really don't care. This is just my take. Most teens my age hang out in town smoking cigarettes or weed. The thing is, the teens have nothing to do so they do drugs, have sex, and hang out.
Bored teens go to desperate measures.
I am straight-edge . I am one of two straight- edge kids in my grade. It's hard to have these morals my age when there are pressures everywhere. It's not like anyone forces cigarettes down my throat. But you look like an outsider when you are the only one in the room without a shot in your hand.
