Drug use, particularly vaping or smoking marijuana, is a prevalent issue among high schoolers. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) states that 23.2 percent of 12th graders had vaped nicotine in the past year, and 29 percent of 12th graders had reported using cannabis in the past year, according to the 2023 NIDA Monitoring the Future annual survey. While drug use among teens is not rising dramatically, the dangers of doing so have. With deadly synthetic drugs like fentanyl contaminating drug supplies, drug use in teens has been more dangerous than ever before.

Lacking in basic necessities, the Foothill Tech bathrooms are home to those avoiding classes and wanting to pull out their vape. The sickly smell of vapes is accented by graffiti on the stall walls that provides a great addition to the ambiance of the restrooms.

I had a Citizen Kane slow clap .gif ready to use with my comment, but staring at it for a while made me realize it was kind of creepy.

Very nice piece! Now we can only hope the world catches on sooner…

(You’ve actually made me super self-conscious about my grammar, and now I’m freaking out hoping my mistakes aren’t [i]too[/i] terrible.)

What do you think?
