Piscataway high school in New Jersey Teen girl who was smoking on the school property and the Vice Principal found out she was and she got into more than she bargained for. This was a case was very interesting, when you may think it's the end they find more things held against her.These girl were under the age of smoking in the bathroom. The supreme court could not give out her full name because she was under age so she had to TLO, which is her initials.

There were these two girls who were smoking in the bathroom and a teacher noticed and she reported them to the vice principal. One of the girls denied not smoking and the dug through her purse to find the cigarettes also a wad of money so she wasn’t just smoking it but selling it . He had noticed that there wasn't just cigarettes there was marijuana. This was illegal for the girl to be smoking only in certain places in the high school and they prohibit smoking in the bathroom. No wonder they were smoking the bathroom because they didn't want them to know about it. This case doesn't talk much about the other girl I'm guessing he got probation and they same thing as the other

This effect society because this school needs to be more strict with the rules. They said that they can't smoke in certain areas, they should not be allowed to smoke on school property anywhere. If they have more harsher policies it will stop these type of things that go on at high school.It encourages students to smoke when they know that only certain spots you can smoke. I think that you are killing yourself which can be like suicide but eventually your healthy body will be ruin with all the toxic chemicals. I know that it more hard to control all the students especially if their more students in the high school. This should not be encouraging to student to set these boundaries .I think after of this case the schools will be more strict with their rules and
