Editor:
I read your press coverage “Grades 7 to 12 school option strongly opposed.”
The comments “the negative peer pressures they will be exposed to at high school to drink alcohol, do drugs, or engage in sex, branding and bullying,” and “being exposed to the peer pressure to do drugs, drink alcohol, engage in sex and the bullying experienced in high school” demand response.
I suggest the student councils of the two high schools — Williams Lake secondary and Columneetza secondary — undertake a concerted action to contradict these defamatory and ridiculous descriptions of high school behaviour.
They are an embarassment to all high school students and to the community.
