This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yeah. It's weird that just saying "no" really is the best move. We just shouldn't count on it when teaching kids about substance abuse.

Just like with abstinence-only sex education, basing the entire strategy around just one method of preventing an unwanted outcome is dumb.
