Tbh, for my community yeah. I’ve got some students who do drugs as young as 7th grade and it’s a conversation about clean living that’s not religious by nature.

Some of the kids into metal get some new bands + some of them associate smoking with adulthood these days.

Unrelated to the drug free conversation, I also will play some heavier music during warmups and some of the kids that are quiet life always seem start to open up more when they realize I listen to similar music as them.

If one of my teachers did this back in the day they would have gotten roasted so hard they probably would’ve gotten reassigned

Means they are "straight edge" no drugs or alcohol. Common in the music scene.

I’ve been an educator for 23 years. I’d have second hand embarrassment if I saw a colleague do this at work.

You’re describing OP, someone who above the age of 16 who would X up at a school. Lmao

You the type of dude to go “I’m not adventurous with my food, I just want meat and potatoes” and think that a light spanking makes you a kinky freak

Maybe you can’t conceive because you know deep down that you would ruin that kid with bad parenting

Edit: yup, definitely the case. Claiming in another thread that gay people don’t face discrimination. Weird ass righty

u/SneezG0d 14h ago

bro i think something is cringe it’s not at all this serious. i’m not telling OP he’s a terrible person or should feel ashamed or whatever over this. at the end of the day it doesn’t affect me i just think it’s cringe.
