Okay. So I live in Georgia, and snow in our area is very rare. Today we got of school 3 1/2 hours early.... and everyone seems to think we will be out tomorrow. All of this over 1/2 inch of snow!!!! I am out raged.

It covers the news, the weather report interrupts afternoon broadcasts, and people go crazy on Facebook! I do not see why people do not got their panties in a wad over my county have FIVE, yes 5, teenage pregnancies on average a week!!! It appears to me that people in my area have their priorities alittle out of line. Why can't they open their eyes and see what is happening to the young people around them?!?!? Not to mention that the STD's and STI's are ramped. A local pharmacist informed me that he gives out more medication to treat genital herpies than anything else!! Unbelievable.

So why isn't the school system doing something about it? Well.... this is Georgia and apparently parents here believe that their little angel(s) is not going to get involved in this sinful and risky behavior. People around here do not want to live up to the fact that children are dropping out of school because they either are going to have a child or they have to work to support the child. Rather they concern themselves with the fact that they must cancell school because of a measly amount of cold water! Arrg.

Quick question: are you saying that the behavior is "sinful and risky" or are you poking fun at the parents?
