Journal #82

Corey was drunk. There might be times you can convince yourself that you’re okay — this wasn’t one of those times. He was drunk and he knew he was drunk. But that wasn’t the problem. He had gone to this party with his friends, including a designated driver, but they had already left. He was supposed to go with them, but he was having such a great time he told them he’d find another ride.

Now he was stuck. The only people left who could give him a ride were pretty wasted, themselves. He thought about calling a friend, but it was at least thirty miles to his house and he didn’t want to impose. He couldn’t stay where he was because he didn’t even know the people who threw the party. If he called his parents…. well, he couldn’t even imagine the lecture. He had already been given the “spring term senior year keep your nose to the grindstone” talk a hundred times.

A girl he had met that night said her friend was dropping her off and could take him too. Unfortunately, she was pretty buzzed. Corey knew it was dumb to get into the car with a driver you know is drunk. Everyone knows that. But everyone doesn’t have to go thirty miles and then face grumpy parents. As far as he was concerned, he was in trouble either way. He needed to make a decision.

 

So, what should Corey do?
Is that different than what you actually would do?
If your best friend is ever in this situation what do you hope he or she will do? If your answer is different from the one above, why do you think that is?
Have you or anyone you know been in a situation like this? What choice was made? Do you think it was the right choice?
Have you ever made a choice that was contrary to what you clearly knew was the right choice or the smart choice?  What factors contributed to your decision? Would you do it again?

(copy question. respond with 3 complete paragraphs.)
Use the word Inebriated, in your paragraph.

Journal #81

Jeff and his best friend, Steven go to different high schools. They’ve been friends since third grade, but since Jeff transferred to another school for 10th grade, they’ve started to grow apart.

One Saturday, Steven asked Jeff if he would drive him into the nearest city. He didn’t have his license yet and said he thought it would be fun for them to hang out. Jeff felt uncomfortable saying yes because he’d only had his license for six months and his parents told him he wasn’t allowed to drive into the city yet. But, Steven said that he wouldn’t be able to go without Jeff’s help and they never got to see each other anymore. Jeff agreed and they left that afternoon after telling Jeff’s parents they were driving to another friend’s house.

When they got to the city, Steven asked Jeff to drive across town to a particular address. When they arrived, Steven asked Jeff to wait in the car while he ran inside for a few minutes. After Steven returned to the car Jeff asked what was going on and Steven pulled out a bag of white powder. He admitted it was his drug connection and that the powder was crystal meth. When Jeff asked him why he didn’t tell him that was why they came to the city. Steven said he didn’t tell him because he figured Jeff wouldn’t go.

That night Jeff couldn’t sleep because he felt overwhelmed by what he had found out. He knew meth was no good and that Steven would continue using it with or without his help. He was angry that Steven had put him in the position of driving with an illegal substance, but even more importantly, he was worried about his friend.

Jeff had promised Steven he wouldn’t tell anyone about all this but it was driving him crazy. He had a teacher at school he really liked and trusted. He wanted to go to him and ask his advice. But what if the teacher decided to turn in his best friend? Jeff was torn about how best to protect Steven.

What do you think about what Steven asks of Jeff? Is it fair? What would you do if your friend asked you to do the same thing?

Have you ever been in a position where you had trouble saying you didn’t want to do something with a friend? What obstacles did you face?

What would you tell someone to do that was in the same position as Jeff?

Do you think Jeff should talk to the teacher he respects? If not, should he talk to anyone else? If so, who?

How do you think it would affect the friendship if Steven finds out that Jeff told an adult the situation?

How do you think Jeff will feel if he doesn’t tell anyone and Steven overdoses on meth?

How do you think Jeff will feel if he tells his teacher and the teacher tells him that he has to tell his own parents, or tell Steven to tell someone?

How do you personally weigh the friendship against the fact that the friend is doing something illegal and potentially problematic?

What do you do with those thoughts/feelings that can arise when you are doing something that you intuitively know is maybe not the best thing to be doing?  
(copy question. respond with 3 complete paragraphs.)
Use the word intuitively, in your paragraph.

Journal #80

Phoebe is a senior and president of the student body. Lately she is becoming more and more overwhelmed by her rigorous AP course load and college applications. She has been sick for the past month and has fallen behind in many of her classes. Her application to UCLA and her AP Art History paper are both due on Monday. It’s Sunday now. Phoebe makes a tough decision and copies the entire section on Impressionism on her paper, finishes her application and goes to bed. On Monday, Phoebe turns in her paper.

By lunchtime, Phoebe’s AP Art History teacher had asked to see her. He quickly realized the fact that a large portion of her paper was copied from the internet and confronts her about it. Phoebe bursts into tears and explains to him about all the pressures of being sick, taking five AP’s, playing three varsity sports and being president of the student body. UCLA is her number one choice for college and she felt she had to make a choice.

Phoebe’s teacher turns her in to the school honor council. The council is made up of five students who make decision when it comes to cheating or lying.  She is very remorseful and volunteers to give a speech to the student body apologizing for what she has done. She also begs the honor council not to write to the colleges that she has applied to, as she has worked so hard throughout her high school career and is applying to the most competitive colleges and universities.
What should the honor council do?
