Someone’s got to do the grungy work in this society. So it may as well be those derelict students who want to smoke cigarettes, get drunk, get high, and party all the time. They’re headed for trouble anyway. We all know it. It’s a dirty little secret among those who pretend that it’s merely a right of passage for every teen.
