Do You Think That Parents Should Take the Lead Roll in Subjects Like Sex and Drugs Instead of the School?

Question by Sophia’s Mommy: Do you think that parents should take the lead roll in subjects like sex and drugs instead of the school?
The schools in my area Have Sex Ed, DARE(Drug abuse resistance education) and GREAT (Gang resistance education and training)…I think these classes give parents an easy way out and put more pressure on the Schools.
Don’t you think it’s the Parents job to teach and inform kids about Sex and drugs instead being told by uninformed peers or watered down sex classes?

i think both should but parents should make the first approach*

What the Hell Happened to My Friend When He Smoked a Joint?

Question by Dave S: What the hell happened to my friend when he smoked a joint?
My friend said he wanted to smoke some MJ for the first time so I gave him some for his first try. He called me early the next morning and told me that he had one of the worst experiences hed had in a long time. He said that after taking making 3 puffs from a joint that he started to feel lightheaded and suffered at first a mild anxiety attack. He said that after a while, the paranoia and anxiety had gotten so extreme that he had trouble sleeping and his heart was racing faster than it had ever been before. He said it took around 3-4 hours for the effects to wear off and he wasn’t the least bit “high”. Although i find this story hard to believe myself, he has never lied to me. I want to give him some advice but I don’t know if this was caused from some kind of an allergic reaction or what? I’m pretty concerned about his health as I have never even experienced slight paranoia from smoking.. and wondering why he had such an extreme panic attack… as he is usually laid back

How Do I Cure My Internet Addiction?

Question by sooiee115: How do I cure my internet addiction?
OK, I have serious internet addiction and my school grades/personal life has taken quite a hit because of it last year.
I really want to cure myself especially since my Junior year in High School is coming up, and I do not want to mess up this important time in my life. Even if I have tons of things to do, I like to stay on the internet for hours – watching anime/speedruns of games on youtube, reading forums, fanfiction, random stuff on wikipedia, just really time wasting things. I can even spend a whole night and a whole day just in front of my computer. Please help me. Now I’ve got tons of school hw, and studying to do before school starts in September, and I am really desperate!
