It’s
so embarrassing, but I have always been such a goody two-shoes. I repeatedly received
Citizen of the Month awards throughout elementary school, I only ditched class
once in high school, and only missed on class in college because I was sick. I’ve
never shoplifted. I’ve never had a meltdown that resulted in a shaved
head. I’ve never even twerked (but that’s
really because my tush can’t move like that). I also never got into drugs— and
for that, I have to credit Francine Pascal, the author of the Sweet Valley High books.
It
was book #40. Regina Morrow was devastated by a break-up and started to hang
around with the wrong crowd. She went to a party and did coke for the first
time. And guess what happened? She died of an overdose. That’s right … she
DIED!
I
DON’T WANT TO DIE!
So,
you know, I say no to drugs.
And
that’s why I don’t feel like a hypocrite when I tell all of you to say not to “drug.”
It is not the past tense of “drag.” “Dragged” is the past tense of “drag.”
Stay away from "drug"!

I skipped class once as well! Nobody noticed.
I even went to school on senior skip day.
Yeah, I know.
No worries-
I skipped enough high school class for all of you!
Rarely in college, though-I was paying for it, so I wanted my money's worth!
I did miss a class when the Phillies won the World Series-had to go to the parade! But it was an elective journalism class...and by then I was pretty sure I was going to switch to a business major (from English) anyway...
Highlights Magazine taught me about life. i never bought into Gallant's pleases and thank yous, thought it was too goody two-shoes. Goofus kept it real, he was badass. Goofus introduced me to the life...
Oh, those Sweet Valley High and Sweet Valley Twins books...
I am glad they kept you off drugs!
You sound like me! I never did anything even remotely "bad" and yet everyone labels me as that type. Odd how things happen. I will not "drug" I promise!
I loved Sweet Valley High books! I also loved Flowers in the Attic (If you're a fan of FITA there's a more explicit remake coming out in January.) I don't remember too many of the lessons in the books but I do know that listening to gangsta rap as a teenager discouraged me from becoming a hoe.
So, instead of drug, use drugged. I drugged the body across the field.
Wait, that sentence still makes sense. So much for being a smart ass.
How think it confuses people because of hang and hung.
You stayed with these books through #40? I think I stopped after 20-something. You're hard core!
