A girl at my daughter’s school said the funniest thing today. We were at a Valentine’s day dinner (delayed from last week due to snow). The girl was explaining to her friend and her friend’s parents about how different it was at public school.
Her: It’s really not what I expected, I mean, I thought it was going to be really dangerous and it’s not. And, there’s not…uh….I’m not sure what word, it’s when people want you to do something…
Me: Peer pressure?
Her: Yeah – that’s it, there’s really no peer pressure, when they offer you something (motions like a small pill like substance) you just say, “No thanks” and they say “OK”
I’m sitting there thinking, “You obviously didn’t learn tact at your private school – telling your friend’s parents that you’ve been offered drugs at your public school but that it’s okay because they didn’t give you any flack for saying no?”
So…yeah.
