“wisemom”-this is a “blog”. “Blogs” are a place where there is a free flow of “thoughts & ideas”. This blog isn’t in the “community” paper. It is online. It is an option. I don’t care for certain “songs” on the radio. I’m not going to throw away the “stereo”. You defeated your own “argument” by “quoting” the first sentence.
“Quotationally yours, grump”
PS. You remind me of the mom in St. Elmo’s Fire that whispers “bad news”.

@wisemom

Too bad the rumors are true. There is a huge, undeniable drinking problem at HP…after reading these comments, I think we can all tell that those kids have multiple problems. (including their attitude and their spelling, but I could go on and on.)

I graduated from HP fairly recently and I’m so embarrassed by the comments on here. Some of these kids are entitled idiots who think they know everything. (If you can’t even spell, you probably aren’t intelligent enough to argue with educated adults. One commenter couldn’t even spell Park Cities. I think he said “Park City’s”. Wow.)

I think that the parents who let their kids drink and shelter them from the consequences are setting their kids up for some major problems down the road. Just reading these comments is enough indication that the stereotypes about HP may not be harsh enough.

Don’t get me wrong, some kids are raised right and become great people despite growing up in HP, but it scares me that so many turn out like some of the commenters above. Yikes.

I didn’t drink at HP, but most people did. (and some of them were very decent people. It doesn’t mean they’re not, but it is a problem that the parents should really be dealing with…) It’s a great community in some ways, but I was very, very glad to graduate and get out of there.

Dear friends: Let’s cease and desist. This blog is just manufactured garbage…much ado about nothing. Had the PCP author bothered to do a real journalistic story on the event, done any real research or interviewed those involved (Students, parents, chaperones, Symphony participants/sponsors), she would have been able to give a balanced and fair account of the event. Do not be fooled. That was not her intent. Instead, a so-called “journalist” writing for a so-called “community” blog/paper has entrapped you all in this web of rumor-mongering, deceit and misinformation. See the first line of her story: “Humor me..as I put on my gossip columnist hat and entertain a little rumor.” Enough said. I am embarrassed by this unprofessional forum and am canceling my subscription to this “community-unfriendly” rag. The Enquirer looks good compared to this garbage. Shame on PCP.

Uhhhh Student: I don’t believe you read my posts because if you did you would note that I never mentioned Mrs Duncan, never mentioned Josh Hamilton (I don’t even know who he is), never mentioned the lacrosse team (my son was on the HP lacrosse team and I love that sport!), I made it very clear that I was not there nor do I know anyone who was this year (my kids are long gone), I never blamed anyone. My only point was that I think JSB was an event out of control back in the late 90’s early 2000’s and apparently still is.
I am not even going to address your point on working. It’s so immature, emotionally driven and makes no sense. But then again you’ve never worked full time so you have no clue.
P.S. If you read my comments none of them had sarcasm in them.

Okay, I’m just going to say this. There were tons of drunk kids at JSB. My parents don’t tell me what to do But I def. won’t go back to JSB. The whole time I was having to help up drunk girls and helping them when they got sick. IDK why parents are saying it was’nt that bad.

@Another Mother and BlessYourLittleHearts: Why in the hell are you people so self righteous? You weren’t even at the dance and have only a few accounts of what it was actually like. Furthermore, you take the most extreme examples of kids and make it seem like every kid there was doing crack and cocaine. So what if there are some kids doing those drugs and drinking? That is their choice and it does not effect you whatsoever. Also, there is no need to rip on Josh Hamilton you don’t know him or what he is really like, just what you learn from the media. Moreover, why brand lacrosse as a trouble sport? You know nothing about the teams or the kids. You just go by what you hear from your gossip chain. Also, if you are really so sure that you are right and you think you can help with this “problem” that is JSB apparently, then why don’t you go speak about it? If you want to leave an impression on kids and parents then do not voice your opinions on an anonymous website. Most importantly, you cannot put the blame on one woman. It is just completely out of question that the problem you think exists is Duncan’s fault. And if you are going to take a stance on an issue then next time I recommend you stick to your goal or opinion instead of changing it mid-argument. In addition, don’t get all high and might about how you work and how you did this in that. If you have time to post on this in the middle of work then you it must not be that hard. In fact, I bet a good number of those kids you insult and rip on from schools like St. Mark’s, Greenhill, and even ESD could your job better than you.

P.S. Just a tip: Your sarcasm does not help your argument, so no need to waste your time with silly jests. But then again your life seems to be based around wasting time now isn’t it?

I was out of control at this event. My memory of going in is foggy and I blacked out after I lit my second j in the bathroom. I strongly hope this even continues as next year I will be a junior and it will be even more rowdy. To think that some kids don’t drink makes me sad. I was basically fed shots since the 9th grade at family dinners….too rowdy

As a gay black man, I was very disappointed that more people weren’t doing more lines with me and the latino janitor in the bathroom!
