That's the truth.

First off, you CAN'T go to highschool high and expect to be able to learn. Why bother going to highschool if you aren't going to try to learn? I know kids who smoke before they go to school, and there is no way that you do better on tests if you smoke before you take it. Don't give me that BS. Your mom's a teacher, I know she knows that. Weed and school don't go together. Your mom knows the importance of an education, and it seems like your brother just doesn't care, or that's how she's taking it.

He got caught and now he's getting punished. Isn't that how the system is supposed to work?

It sucks he got caught, and it sucks that she told the resource officer, but she cares about you, that's why she's doing it. She's afraid you'll get caught, not learn, and she's afraid of you're safety/emotional state (it's the teenager years, she knows what you're going through).

Personally, I think your mom had the right to be pissed. I'm working my ass off in school, and when some kids in school high and not caring about what's going on. Why should he have the privelege of going to school if he doesn't want an education? Fuck a highschool diploma, if you don't go to college, you might as well not have it. You're not going to get a good job, you're gonna get some generic ass job, but you beat out the people who don't have that diploma.

Maybe I'm an asshole, but it's how I feel.
