Blacklable:

I think maybe you should google heroin. I wish I didnt know half as much about as I do. And it wasnt through googling it. Unfortunately I had to live through it with a family member. And I thing that if you pick up a newspaper a little more often you will find that opiate addiction is a huge problem in not only Whitman but also Abington, Easton to name a few. 87% of all admissions to rehab and detox are for opiates and for people between the ages of 19 and 27. Sad but it is a fact.

I don't think that all high school students are opiate addicts. However, before I was robbed by a heroin addict (who, by the way, was not a filthy pig but a hard-working father of 2) I didn't realize that there were as many people addicted to opiates as there are. I met with this man many times and had no idea he was an addict -- you don't know. I'm sure there are classmates of yours who are addicted and you don't even know it. I hope not, but it could be. Good for you for choosing the right path. Please look out for your friends.
