Want Meth? Ask a Teenager

White House drug czar John Walters called a recent report that said 1/4 of teens, or 25% if that is easier to understand (fractions can be problematic), believed it was somewhat easy to obtain methamphetamines. To go even further, one third believe there was little risk in trying meth once or twice (which honestly would turn into nine days without sleep as your face melts off) and that there are benefits to using meth, including losing weight, coping with boredom and feeling happy.

I am pretty sure that John Walters job as drug czar is to STOP METH use, not encourage it. Try earning your paycheck John.

Teen Shot At McDonald's

I'm sure this story has happened to everybody....

A teenager in Pittsburgh was in line at McDonald's on Wednesday. He was probably trying to decide whether he wanted the Double Quarter Pounder or The Big 'N' Tasty. Then he sat there, trying to figure out what exactly is a Big 'N' Tasty. Is it true they just add a tomato? Tomatoes aren't tasty. Tomatoes fucking suck. Especially warm tomatoes. That's nasty. Almost as nasty as this. Then he started to play with his gun in his pocket. No, no, not that gun. (Chris Hanson would like to see you, pervert)

All of a sudden his gun goes off. What did I just say? It's not that gun.

A 17 year old boy shot himself in the leg with the .25 caliber pistol that he had in his pocket while waiting in line. I don't know about you, but the McDonald's I go in never require me to carry a gun. The kid is in good condition, but he will be charged with illegal possession of a firearm.

Boy Finds Way to Stop Disappointing His Parents

16 year old Jacob Brighton is your typical rebel teen, who enjoyed smoking weed and having different interests from his father. Jacob also didn’t work, but then again he’s only 16 years old. But this grew old for Jacob, who couldn’t take disappointing his parents anymore. Jacob decided to take things into his own hands.

So he got a job? No. He stopped smoking weed? No. He started watching baseball with his dad? No. So what did he do?

He killed his parents.

So there's nobody, now there's nobody to be disappointed in me, try to make me lead ... their life.

Phew, that was a close one. I didn’t think he was old enough to handle the responsibility of an after school job anyways. I had a job after school and let me tell you, it was no picnic. Life is so cruel when you’re a 16 year old. Nobody understands what it's like.
