It's Bringing Us Together . . . ?

The other day , over my spare , I was sitting in the main hall at school reading my book . I noticed something rather odd . The area I was sitting at had a line of benches by a window side and to the other side of the hall is the entrance to the school that is attached to ours . That entrance is well known around the school to be used by the ' smokers ' . So before they go outside , they stop by the benches to pull out whatever it is that they're smoking . What was weird is that all different people from every race and every stereotypical group were conversing and sharing their substances and lighters . Before they all became engaged in drugs , they never used to talk or pay any attention to each other's existence . Now that they all partake in drugs , they need a source or people who know someone to get it for them , so they all work together , buying , selling and sharing it . Isn't that kind of ironic ? Drugs are terrible for your body , your health and many times your grades and your relationships . But now , it's the thing that is bringing everyone together ? Am I missing something ? Another thing I noticed , is that some of the smartest and most innocent students are falling under the influence as well . I don't understand why people are turning to drugs now , especially in their last year of high school . It's only taking away from the life and education you spent fourteen years building , so why do it ? If it's to gain popularity , then that's just plain and simple stupid . Why would you risk so much for popularity ? Besides , even if you gain it , it'll be worth nothing after graduation because you won't see a majority of the people ever again . It just doesn't make sense to me .
