I love when people reply to data with anecdotes

Are you implying that kids today are more likely to lie on anonymous surveys than past generations? That is a mind-boggling assertion. What makes you think that?

Considering the article specifies that drugs, alcohol, and tobacco are “social” activities, I think this makes sense. It’s not good that kids are shifting to solitary activities

Wish I got an answer when I asked this a year ago

It’s a red polo?

I wasn’t even clear if the bathroom law went into place
