> In my middle school, you were sent home for the day if they caught you with cough drops or- get this- chapstick. Apparently you were supposed to leave these things with the school nurse and get excused from class to get them when you needed them. I myself happen to be a chapstick addict (maybe there is some creedence in calling it a drug ^_^) and would have been leaving class every fifteen minutes or so. Likewise, when I've got a sore throat, I'll eat cough drops one right after the other.

well, we're technically not allowed any medication at our school... but i carry a bottle of ibuprofen with me at all times and use it frequently, directly in front of teachers, all of whom merely look worried and ask me if i'm okay. I even gave smoe to a teacher once.... she asked for 6. I think that's gotta be an overdose. she said she had arthritis.

uni"takes a lot of ibuprofen"peg
