Well said, LancerM. You can have plenty of fun in high school without alcohol. The problem is with adults and parents who say everybody does it and it's just part of high school. Not everyone does it and it should not be part of high school. Adults who think otherwise are contributing to the problem. The more I have read the opinions on this subject, the more I am now thinking the Shawnee Mission policy is on track and is a serious deterent to alcohol and drug abuse.
