Are Teens Using The Internet to Get High?

After a long day at school, what is the first thing the average teenager will do? That’s right, sit down in front of the computer and maybe not get back up for the rest of the evening. A recent study found damming evidence that kids are “high on the internet”. Oklahoma have called called the phenomenon iDozing, where you hook up with an online dealer, and he send you MP3 songs that put you in a state of high. Officials are taking this very seriously. 

“Kids are going to flock to these sites just to see what it is about and it can lead them to other places,” Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs spokesman Mark Woodward told News 9.

I droning involves putting your earphones in an listening to a low pitch droning noise, that dealers promise will give you a high like any physical drug.

The first one is free, “Gates Of Hades”, on Youtube. For those who want to get properly addicted, they can buy more tracks that will bring on the same effects as marijuana. Customers are also advised to buy a forty page instruction manual telling them how to get the best high off the MP3’s.

Oklahoma’s Public Schools are taking this threat seriously, sending letters to parents about the new craze and banning iPods in schools in an attempt to stop honour students becoming drug-crazed lunatics.

This means the police are on the verge of a massive battle. How do they know when they see a teen walking down the street if they’re iDozing or simply listening to music. Police need to tackle the problem head on. I feel their has been a lack of press coverage on the issue, and parents and schools should do more. Why can’t teens just go outside an play soccer instead of getting a high off a piece of music. It’s pathetic.

If you ask me, The Patriots died to give everyone freedom of speech, but the new generation are taking advantage, and shame on them for that.
