Excuse me but primary school!? My God.
That’s truly a sad read.
Children are seeing their parents engage in recreational drug use, they’re seeing older siblings living in the home engage in it, they’re seeing extended family engage in it, they’re seeing it online…
It flows down from older to younger, but it also ripples out.
If you have a classroom of 25 students and even two or three of them have this normalised to them at home and have access to drugs, it reaches children who don’t have a clue but want to look cool or want to be part of the group. And then that ripples. And then that ripples.
They also don’t have the ability to understand risk.
Maybe a kid smokes a bit of something on the sly one time with an older sibling and they kind of know their Dad does that too. Now when they’re offered a try of something else from a friend, they’re more likely to think it’s fine. And it could be anything.
It doesn’t have to be that parents are addicts or scumbags for it to be normalised.
I mean if they see what the future outlook for Millennials and Gen Z is I’m not surprised. They’re probably already too self aware they’ll never own their own home.
If they’re told they’ve no future fresh out the womb they’re gonna act like it.
There are 10, 11, 12 and 13 year olds out selling weed on a daily basis around certain areas. This isnt surprising to people from these areas.
There is no regard for any sort of even an idea of a ‘social contract’ anymore.
Its only going to get worse, as well. And when it does get worse, after years of speaking about the exact problem and its causes, the same people will still ‘pikachu shocked face’, theyll say ‘its a terrible shame’ and theyll continue on not giving a fuck.
Primary school? What the fuck man. I grew up in the 80s and 90s and even back then this was crazy rare.
Doesn’t surprise me at all
This has all started from kids vaping on the sly in school toilets and it being tolerated
No shit, you don’t even need to leave your house to get most stuff these days
The problem is it’s being marketed as the new version of “smoking cigarettes is cool”.
Young fellas round Drimnagh, and I mean 10-12 years old selling all sorts of shite. If they’re selling what’s to stop them from using it.
Brought to you by Prohibition, the policy they say was introduced to protect young people from drugs. In every article or debate around drugs/drug use I haven’t once seen the policy of Prohibition questioned. Why ,after 50 years of failed policy, aren’t we implementing evidence based policy around drug use. The CA unequivocally recommended decriminalisation as a start but legislators are cowards & pressure from AGS just means we will continue to criminalise drug use & addiction
When Fine Gael say they have a “health based” approach to drug policy, this is what they mean.
Treating it as a criminal justice issue instead of a societal one means there will always be those seeking to profit, and they’ll gladly do so at the expense of children’s health.
I always believe that, when looking at our own social problems here and trying to figure out solutions, we need to look to other, better functioning societies. These don’t necessarily need to be rich western countries either. But I believe it’s necessary to admit our failings as a society, stop complaining about it and start to learn from others.
Children learn primarily from their home and society. That’s the first point of learning from when they’re babies and toddlers so what they learn they’ll use in their lives. What they see on a daily basis, they’ll implement quickly. I’m not saying they’re around drugs at home but what is the message parents are sending to their children, what are they exposed to online, tv and on their spare time? How do people talk to children? What hobbies do kids have? Research shows it’s really important for young children to become immersed in an activity for a length of time. It’s like a meditation, it helps the brain develop, helps them be independent and calm.
I hope we can turn this around bcs drug use at this young age is truly sad.
No one likes it, especially here on Reddit, but there is a large role in this that has arisen out of self-serving union movements in this country, and separately out of protection practices in public sector jobs. We have in these union movements and public sector class an emergent growing and growing divide between one class and people, and another class.
To back it up, we have a government that is managing the country, rather than leading it. And doing it without any notion in the world as to doing anything else, as we have an opposition that hasn’t even heard of Supervalu. A one that has to be the weakest opposition in history, with no vision, and with zero principles other than going with the way the wind blows and PR bullshit.
And yes, yes, yes, I’m 100% for personal responsibility; and I’m 100% for primary responsibility resting with the parents, and with the children themselves, as they socially develop into maturity. That goes without saying. That is the foundation here. But it’s not the end.
We have a big, big leadership problem, and we have hurting communities. And socialism is not the answer to it, but is jumping on it. I blame the culture in the union movements and in the overpaid office based public sector. That’s the underpin here. No dispute with nurses, Gardai, fire-personell, but rather these fxckers in the custom house and other places.
Dublin 15 ? Who’s doing research on just Dublin 15?
I went to secondary school in North Dublin in the 00’s.
There was a bit of a drink and drug problem (e.g. kids smoking weed behind the bike sheds, or coming to school drunk with half a bottle of whiskey stashed in their bag) but the teachers for the most part just ignored it.
I ended up chatting to someone recently who went to the same school after I graduated and she told me the same problem is now ten times worse. Instead of alcohol and weed, it’s ecstasy and coke.
School staff still pretend it isn’t happening and don’t really want to be dealing with it at all.
Unfortunately, it’ll only get worse unless something changes.
It’s an article based on anecdotes and opinions rather than data. Not great journalism.
FWIW I was in secondary school in the 90s, and six 14 year olds were expelled for having weed in their lockers. This is nothing new
> “As a serving member on the council, I’m on this task force for Blanchardstown, I’m determined with the help of Aontú, my party, to get as much funding as is possible so that we can get in there and do more in prevention..”
Aontú with 3 TD’s in opposition will be doing exactly fuck all.
