Imagine this: On normal a Friday noon, during lunch in school, girls are fighting for a Pepsi bottle, rolling on the floor, strangling each other for it. They are acting kind of strange.
It makes you wonder why they are fighting for that bottle.
yes, you guessed it. There is liquor in it.
I have witnessed Seniors drinking in school. I wasn't surprised when i found out they were drunk . I don't know if it's common in other schools but I have seen a case like this when i was in middle school.
What really surprised me is that the staff did not have any idea of what was going on. I just couldn't bring myself to understand why they couldn't see what was happening. It was a very strange situation.
I wanted to do something about it but i couldn't bring myself to it. I did not know what to do.
I was thinking about anonymously writing a note to the staff but i don't think they would take it seriously. i thought about giving a hint to someone near. I spend the whole forty-five minutes thinking about it. If i do see this again I might have to tell someone in charge.
Has this happened to anyone else? If so, what did you do?

Well, I can't give you any advice because I was homeschooled, so I can't say that I've ever drank in class or saw people drinking in class...??! I would suggest that you do tell someone, though someone with authority and the power (and personality) to take immediate action, not someone who will say, "Okay, yaddah yaddah, whatever."
With my own experiences in attending high school, a worse fate awaits for the narc. I would never rat anyone out.
Unfortuately, I have been a witness to kids drinking in their soda bottles. It's sad to see that the staff in your area, as well as mine, were blind to the fact that booze was being smuggled into the schools. I, personally, did drink in high school (on the weekends) and still continue to do so, but I never, ever, drank in the building or on school property. School was stressed upon not only by my parental units, but the pressure to be going to college and starting a new chapter of my life, alcohol never popped in my brain to bring with me to English. I support your ideas of mentioning it to someone, since it makes you uncomfortable, and since you seem to want to gain an education, you have the higher hand. It's sad that kids have to bring it to the schools. Where are the teachers/staff/hall monitors when all this is happening? It sounds like it's a obvious situation, if you are sitting there and see these girls making a scene. You would figure that the smell of liquor would tip someone off.
Most people my age dont appreciate school in any way shape or form. They hate it. They go meerly because they are required to by law. If by a radical movement attending school was no longer manditory I can guarantee that more than half of the students would never show up again.
So its not at all suprising to me that their willing to bring alcohol to school to get drunk. I know several people who have done that and worse on many occasions. They dont care at all about school, so getting drunk there is simply a way to make the day more interesting.
Plus like you said there is the fact that the faculty seem to turn a blind eye to them. I seen my fellow students so drunk at school the were stumbling around, slurring their words, and vomiting. They reeked of alcohol. And did they get caught? Nope.
A teacher once told me a really sad story. He caught a kid dealing drugs in his classroom. However nothing ever happened because of it. The kid never even got detention. Why? He was the football star at the time.
I dont know why such things are allowed, but every time a student doesnt get caught of punished it sends the message to all the other students that its okay to do that, because they wont get caught and if they dont they probably wont get punished.
I don't think it's common. The only instance I've ever seen is in tenth 11th grade my friend had some vodka in a water bottle. But that's all I ever saw. I would just tell someone, like a counselor. If these kids have to bring liquor to school it's probably a more serious problem than it seems.

Actually, I think that this is much more common than you think. I've known kids to put alcohol in hairspray bottles, water bottles, mixed in with soda and juice bottles, anything that can have liquid poured in it has probably once been used to hide alcohol.
Or who knows, maybe it's the fact that I am from the mid-west and there is nothing better to do here besides get drunk and make babies.
