<p>I am always puzzled when people say how much drinking/drugs is going on among otherwise excellent students. Without meaning to brag about my kids, I have to say they all (and we’re down to #4 going through this HS) have had good friends about whom I have never had to worry what they were doing, where they were going, or when they would be back. Maybe they found the truly “smart” kids and not just the smart-talking snow job ones. </p>
<p>And yes, some of them were just plain nerdy. :)</p>
