T-shirts push the limit

[AEP]

School uniforms should become the norm.

Drink, raise hell, do whatever you want, end up flipping burgers, in jail, or on a slab.

It appears you were under the influence of "strong drink" when you posted this gibberish.

Who says you turned out great?

Truly stated and a statement of truth!

No...sorry to disappoint...but I wasn't intoxicated! Well, 2 college degrees from prestigious top schools say I turned out great!! And....I will be soon going back to school for my Ph.D!! So, I am great...and rather smart!! And that calls for a drink! Cheers! I can spill my "gibberish" wherever I want to! As gibberish as it may sound...its true...teenagers should live their lives and wear a damn t-shirt if they want to! Who's it hurting? Not you.

Drink on if that's what floats your boat.

I have a doctor "acquaintance" who is a Harvard Medical School graduate and earns in excess of $750,000 a year.

She is an alcoholic - nearly killed herself and a fellow passenger a couple years ago while driving under the influence. She has contracted several STD's as a result of reckless and promiscuous sexual behavior. She lives to party, and yet she is admittedly unhappy.

She certainly isn't hurting me with her behavior, but...

Are you familiar with the term "educated fool"?

Have a great weekend!

That's her...not that I have to justify myself to you but I am very happily married and have zero STD's...that's just gross. I have a child who fills every moment of my time when I'm not studying and I only drink twice per month with the gals on the weekend! I drank in highschool, which was 12 years ago, and I never ended up in prison...in fact, I was a counselor at a prison for many years. Maybe I am the exception but almost everyone,(that I can remember), that I went to hs with drank and it didn't mean that they would end up alchys or with STD's. It's reality and I still turned out great...because my husband and daughter said so!!

FYI...drink and driving are one of the stupidest things that anyone can do... Obviously education doesn't teach common sense or your lady doctor "acquaintance " would have possessed some!

Again, to all the highschoolers, wear the shirts and then after you graduate...go have a keg party to celebrate!!

I totally agree with school uniforms! But, how does drinking as a high school student lead to flipping burgers and jail? I guess I missed that one. Drink up kiddies!

Well thanks for pointing THAT out. You still didn't respond to my question.

Its just a damn shirt. Honestly everyone is making this a bigger deal then it really is. All of you can't say you didnt drink in highschool. Its normal. Just because you drink in highschool doesnt mean you can't turn out successful, so everyone who said that comment is completely ignorant to the truth. Kids will be kids and they will drink, and theres not much we can do about it because its just how it is. Its just a shirt that i find hilarious and creative. Go take a look at the shirts down in seaside in the tee shirt shops and then tell me this shirt is that bad. I wish i had come up with something this creative during my highschool years! Its funny how all you parents with highschool children are freaking out about this, yet probably 90% of your children drink, whether you know it or not, and they would have done it whether they got the shirts or not. The shirts are not an influence on their decisions, their decisions influenced the shirts. Get over it

freedom of speech
let them where what they want, they are not drinking or doing drugs, damn be glad they stayed in school to make it to graduate, maybe if they where here in florida they would make news headlines for shoting someone or doing some stupid crime. come on let kids be kids if they are doing it and being safe.
just my thought on this

haha dont you mean "wear" lol

[Laura]

As a mother of a 08 senior not in NH that wants to with her friends wear this shirt to her last day of school I myself don't see anything wrong with it. I agree that most teenagers drink. I know I did when I was that age. I now only drink maybe once or twice a year. So what i did as a teenager within limits did not really change my life I have a great job and a great family and no I don't flip burgers for a living. I say let the kids wear what they want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.

[KLS77]

Very creative!! FREEDOM of SPEECH.. lol.. you know the one fond memory of school I had was I bought a tshirt from spencers that had a bunny on it and it was pointing to his lil behind and it had a set of lips on it..LOL. GOD my teachers hated it!! I think that is one reason I LOVED it so much.. to be rebelious.. first off I just thought it was cute.. but when they got a rise out of it then it was the idea of putting my foot down.. because it said nothing.. and it also was not indecent..lol..
to many people play on the fact of some stuff. to funny if ya ask me.. I bet HALF the kids that have those shirts DONT drink..lol.. I really think thats the funny part..

Totally true..lol..
and think about it tons of lawyers, drs, judges, ect have thier own "bar" in thier offices, and homes... drinking does not make you a bad person.. get over it.. they could be doing a lot worse meth? cocaine? maybe a lil wacky tobacky?..lol.. Id take drinking over all that any day..

[KLS77]

Im sorry this is SO totally OFFTOPIC.. I know BUT.. I have been on many forums and I just have to finally say if all you have to do is leave a comment on someones spelling or wording .. GET OVER IT.. my god!! That is soo childish no I take that back neither of my kids would go to that point!!

Ashland, MA did the same thing.. fortunately MA has the more student rights than any other state, no problems whatsoever

I'm an '08 Senior. I'm president of my school's SADD club. I don't drink.
I'd wear that shirt every day.
High school is about pushing the limit. That slogan captures the personality of my class perfecrtly, though we're one of the best behaved groups to go through there in a long, long time [as far as drinking is concerned, that is].
Think about it. It's very clever, and very creative, it can never be used by any other class, and it sums up any fun-loving teenager's attitude and high school career perfectly. It goes beyond drinking...
Pushing the limit with authority means making a difference, and yes, in good ways.
I could sit here and tell you the history of my Senior class, but I won't. I'll just assure you that by PUSHING THE LIMIT, we have forced changes in our school's policies on things like bullying, and yes, DRINKING.

Goodness. There are much bigger things to worry about.
Unless you're planning on confescating these shirts and clothing the naked with them, move on with your lives.
Let kids be kids. We have our whole lives ahead of us to be pretentious sticks in the mud. Take things like this from us now, we end up like you later. And nobody wants that.
