Yeah pretty much.
I went to this city prep school from freshman to halfway through junior year. It was supposed to be a good school but it absolutely sucked. Talk about a bunch of assholes. All my real friends were from out of school, although there were some people I was cool with like this kid queer griffin. And my very good friend who ODd used to go there two grades above me, but he dropped out a semester before me.
At first it was just stupid shit like taking dramamine the night before and it affecting me in school the next day. I remember still being all zombified and whatnot. We didn't get off campus lunch so not really any smoking until junior year. I did take pills all the time and trip on things and all sorts of nonsense. At first heavy drug use was just on weekends.
Junior year I did coke starting in august. That made me drop out because I was always sleeping or coked up in class. Failed every class almost, except biology because it was last and I had usually come down or woken up by then and I already knew everything so I got to skip tests and work and shit because my teacher was cool and understood that it was okay to let me sleep because when I was homeschooled my parents skipped ahead on things. I've always done great in school because I've known everything they tried to teach me thanks to having parents that know lots of things. But then always done badly in school because I didn't care enough to do the busywork. And when I say the coke made me drop out, it's true, but it was my choice to do it in the first place. It was just part of a steady progression to harder and harder drugs.
So I went to an alternative school. This was wacky because there was no homework, nothing to do in class barely except maybe watch a video and answer questions. We got out at noon and we were all high. I'd say it was maybe fifty fifty black and hispanic from all around the city and then maybe four white people, and that's cool cause I was a sheltered little fucker other than having done mad drugs. It made me see more how things really work in real life for most people rather than for my parents middle income friends and all the rich fuckers at the old prep school. So we four all did mad drugs again.
It would have worked out fine if I hadn't got on smack second year at the alternative school. I had quit coke but started junk. If I had done properly and graduated the alternative school and gone to the city college upstairs I'd probably be half or more done to a degree but instead after I graduated I became a real junkie. Kinda sucks now, but a bit too late now,
Anybody else gone to alternative schools? Were you and your schoolmates always smoked out or worse? Cause I would smoke a B when I got to school, bowl between classes on our 'cigarette break' no joke, and then chief up in my dealers car at lunch like three blunts on four people. He had fat nick bags it was great. We did coke there, my friends took Cs between or before classes, I wouldn't that shit sucks, etc.
