Who wrote this???? You can tell that it was someone who's in their 30s, 40s or 50s and completely out of touch with today's kids. These are the grownest 8th graders I have ever seen. They're hooking up, drinking, smoking, and partying. And their parents are just allowing it!!!! This is completely unrealistic. This is not as common for a 13 or 14 year old to do as they are making it seem. It's just so silly. It should have been focused on high school students.
