  1. Lot’s of ex- boyfriend and ex-girlfriend with new boy- friend and new-ex whatever going on. Why can’t people get over it? Just face it, you were never meant to be!

  2. What’s it with stealing $6 worth of condoms?? I’ve seen this more than once on here. You can go to a clinic and get free condoms.

  3. Did people miss that a child was walking around with cocaine? That is by far the most disturbing piece of this.

  4. Fortunately it sounds like another student dropped a dime on this kid. I don’t what the ages of the kids are at the Elliot upper school but it is very disturbing & troubling.
