In high school, I did all sorts of drugs to get through the day. Cocaine, LSD, Xanax, Klonopin, pot brownies. I drank Vodka-Gatorade-Red Bull cocktails. The Gatorade was always out in the open... No one suspected a thing. I don't know why, but I felt super cool. HA! Maybe that's why I am such a loser now. The drug use and drinking was mostly during gym class, art class, music class and between classes. [All day? Ha...] I was kind of a nerd though so I would stay sober for my Japanese, English and History classes. %)
I'd always keep it very secretive and only one person knew what I was doing: me. I'd go to the bathroom, do my thing, and show up to class. For some reason, the classes would just fly by! :D I gave a Marine Science presentation tripping on acid with my best drug buddy. We won $20 bucks for having the best presentation -- thanks, teach, free acid!
I used drugs during the school day for a bunch of reasons. I was bored, I was addicted, I wanted to fit in, I was depressed, I wanted attention, I had a bad home life, I had disposable income, the drugs were available and plentiful.
Unfortunately I did get caught once. I was the reason that my school decided to lock the bathrooms... people had to be escorted to and from the bathroom by a school security officer after the incident where I was caught with some... substances. I was actually
arrested for having a roach of a roach of a roach on school grounds... [never mind the cocaine paraphernalia, luckily I snorted it all right before I got caught... and half-empty bottle of Bacardi 151]. Getting caught kind of sucked. I ended up getting in-house suspension for a month as well as a court date. I wish I could say getting caught helped me stop using, but it kind of only made things worse. I was molested on school grounds by another student who was also suspended while the teachers who supervised in-house suspension were changing periods and I never told anyone.
So, yeah, they don't call it High School for nothing.
