Your Residential Advisor StudentNow Drug Use Drugs are another matter altogether. First of all they're illegal, and yes, while it is illegal to sell liquor to someone underage, you're unlikely to go to jail for being drunk just because you're not 21. But mere possession of drugs can send you to jail for a long time, and ruin any chances of graduating from college.
Drugs are also habit forming.
Now I know that so are tobacco, caffeine, and alcohol, but I don't have to tell you all the horror stories there are about people addicted to cocaine or heroin. I'm sure you've been given that message in high school. What's different about you now is that you're older and that should make you wiser. You should be better able to appreciate the long-range consequences of both becoming an addict and going to jail for possession. You're forced to go to high school, but college is voluntary and you should start realizing that you're working for yourself and your future.
