Kids make bad life choices. It’s why they aren’t allowed to vote.

They also have a tendency to record their bad life choices and post them to the internet – Gen Z, I’m looking at you. Get it together.

If you’re a regular reader of this site, I don’t need to tell you that South African schools are scary places.

What blows my mind is the number of videos that have emerged over the last year of students, in school uniform, filming themselves getting up to all kinds of bad behaviour, thinking that they won’t get caught.

Although this video was filmed in May (before marijuana was legalised for personal use), it only emerged on social media in the last few days, reports TimesLIVE.

The seven students in the video have been identified as pupils from Navalsig High School in Bloemfontein:

The idea behind smoking weed through an apple is that it will disguise the smell of the smoke on the smoker’s breath. It, unfortunately, does nothing for paranoia, red eyes, and this weird medical condition that only stoners get.

The students in the video did the smoking at school. Free State department of education spokesperson Howard Ndaba had the following to say:

“We are greatly concerned about that video. Yesterday [Thursday] we called their parents to talk to them and for the disciplinary hearing, which is still in progress,” Ndaba said.

He said the department had also involved the South African Police Service to find a solution to the problem, as well as psychologists, who were sent to the school to consult with the pupils.

“What we don’t want to do is to disturb them during the exams. We want them to finish their exams, because most of them are minors, so we need to be sensitive to that.”

I’m not entirely sure why psychologists had to be brought in.

Moral of the story? Just because you can film it and put it on social media, doesn’t mean that you should.
