A week ago, a boy in my school got suspended for using drugs. The point is that in my opinion this wasn't the best solution because he was not responsible, as we all know those men that wait outside schools in order to find easy victims to sell drugs. I believe that the teachers should talk to him and tell him how bad is to use drugs and then, if he continued using drugs, then they could suspend him. I heard that the boy fell into depression for that reason. His parents came to the school and asked for their son to return to the school. What do you think on this point?

He could of said no to the 'men outside schools'

His own fault.

There are some kids that are easy to sell drugs. He was one of them. He had no too many friends and so he had not a strong character. It is not as easy as it sounds.

I'm sure most schools tell pupils from the age of 6 not to use drugs? He must know there bad?, surely?

He fell into depression for the suspension? Or using drugs?

Well drugs in school is wrong especially with eh risk of other (young) people around. Showing a bad example. How did he get caught?

How is he not responsible for using drugs? It's his own fault.

To be honest, his parents should have already told him it's bad to use drugs, etc. It's not up to the teachers to advise him against things. If his parents care so much about him going back to school, they should care about his well-being and should have told him already about the dangers of drugs.

Most people should know for a fact to refuse something some dodgy idiot is telling me to buy off him. Ever heard of the saying that you should never talk to strangers?

It is.

Anyone can say no - I've done it.

Because of both. No, the police cannot do something because these people are like ordinary people but they sell drugs. And the schools don't say this to little pupils who don't even know what drugs mean.

What drugs was he using?

That is known as a drug dealer and it is a criminal offense.

I don't know exactly. I think cocaine.

The whole point of educating someone, be it in a school, or by the parents, is to make them understand what something means before they go and do it. Doesn't your school have PSHE (Physical, Social and Health Education) lessons? Or do peoples parents not care about educating their children fully so they don't get influenced by the wrong people?
