PUBLISHING ESSAY WRONG MOVE

I was very disturbed by the fact that an intelligent paper such as the
Winnipeg Free Press would decide to share sections of that kid's drug
essay! I mean, the entire point of him writing the essay was to inform
people about how to do drugs and not get caught. I believe he got his wish
when it was published by your paper. Now more kids can get high and know
what to do to prevent going to the hospital and admitting that they may
have a problem.

We live in a sick society as it is, and we certainly do not need to hear
about this sort of thing from an "intelligent" newspaper. I would have been
a happy reader just to know that the kid wrote an essay on drugs, got an F
and is going to be punished by the law.
