I think what happens is that people look at the few to classify the many. And most of them look at kids in high schools. The thing with public school is that it is just that....public. People there run the gamete of their activities in Drugs, sex, and other "morally questionable" activities. Everyone has to go to school so of course there would be people who do different things. What I saw of people in school was that except for a few bad seeds, for the most part, people there were good people. Most of them occasionally drank and smoked pot but I would not call it rampant.
The age when kids are 14-18 is a time to experiment and discover yourself. It is not surprising that some of them do try drugs, sex, and alcohol. I myself tried all of them during those years but I am not a bad person. I think it’s just easy for adults to classify all teens in that group, because of the ones they have seen. Either depicted in the media or on the streets hustling pot.
