In College Why Do They Do Drugs, When They Learned to Say No in School?

Question by steven200719: In college why do they do drugs, when they learned to say no in school?
I’m a 19 year old boy in college and I see people doing drugs sometimes. When I was in Middle and High School, I learned and was taught to say “No” to dugs and I do and I still do. So, why does college kids still do drugs. I mean, people have asked me if I want to try and I just said no, and I don’t want to die. And, like if any teachers saw like can they get in trouble for it and like go to jail?
One other question, like what is the main purpose of “high school”?? Is it like for the kids to get “high” , cause it is the name, is it not?

That’s a dumb question. Higher learning maybe? And most college kids do drugs to cope with the workload while still having a social life. Rx study aides, etc…
