Just Because I Feel Like Saying So
Open letter to the teenage boys who stand in the street outside our house and smoke pot before going to school:
Attention Doorknobs:
The girls you want to get don’t like loser potheads who have no ambition and can’t see beyond the immediate gratification of the day, and who subsequently have no future. You’re killing the few braincells you’ve got left in there, and you will never get laid. Quit that shit while you’re ahead.
Signed,

May I speak up as a teenage social incompetent? The “you will will never get laid” if you are a pothead line has a problem with it. I was a dorky teenager who had zero chance so my reaction was, “well I might as well since I am a total misfit anyway.” All the ads showing happy kids not using drugs *encouraged* me towards drugs because I had no chance or skill to have that fun - especially with girls. Luckily I had some seriously dorky friends who weren’t into drugs. And we did some seriously dorky things. And never hung out with girls. And none of us thought the pretty people in anti-drug commercials resembled us or our life in any way.

I get what you’re saying. I wrote the post in a moment of pique, frankly. Youth is so wasted on the young. *longsuffering sigh*
And as you pointed out to me tonight, frankly, the bigger problem is that these kids are smoking up right near a public school. That’s even more inappropriate.
