People turn to drugs as a means to fill something they are missing in their life. Perhaps to temper pain that they feel. Perhaps because someone told them it is the cure all to all their misery. Whatever the reason, that is a result of a chain of events that happened prior to that. The recent case being publicised seems to lay the blame for all that happened prior to the addiction squarely on the school system. while it may not be perfect, and they do have flaws that need to be addressed, they are not the “bad guys” who should be blamed for all societies ills. there is a show that investigates airplane, train and other disasters (not natural), their opening line (to paraphrase) is that a disaster is the culimination of a series of events. Investigating the entire series of events, one can learn where the weak points and failures are and how to correct them so that it wont happen again. Simply blaming “boeing” for the plane crash or “the yeshiva administrator” for a drug overdose is careless, and reckless.
