Do you think that the student's death at University of Oregon was due to poor life choices?
gpt
I think college students brains haven't fully developed and so there is more potential for poor life choices like excessive drinking
human
I agree. They also think that it is "party time" away from their parents. They don't realize the consequences of their actions. 
gpt
I think colleges should have a class for incoming freshman on the dangers of these choices.  Also they should have a class for all the leaders in the fraternity/sorority groups to teach them about making proper choices
human
*frowns* Yes, I think they give a lot of training to students. It's up to the students to make the money. Even students who aren't in fraternities and sororities make poor choices in college.
gpt
*tilts head* Oh for sure they do.  That is why I said incoming freshman and leaders in the greeks
human
Yes. I think that many freshman know to do better, but they choose not to. And, you can't really hold the university accountable for each individual student's behavior.
gpt
*slouches* Oh no I hold the students accountable.  They are ultimately the ones who make the choice
human
That is true. The students make the choices for their behaviors. I started off as a "good girl" in college. By the time I graduated, I was a partyer. I knew I was making those choices myself. No one made me do it. 
gpt
So I guess everyone just has to do there part to work together and realize that people will enevitbly make a choice whether it be right or wrong and we have to be there to help in anyway we can
human
Absolutely, I agree. Everyone has to help students make the right choice, but the students have to be held accountable for those choices. I used to have a personal rule that if I could go out and party the night before, then I could get myself out of bed and go to class. 
gpt
*body relaxes* good rule!!  
human
I thought so. I also wouldn't allow myself to drink on Sundays. I still don't. I said Sunday was a day of rest. 
gpt
I don't drink at all.  I don't want to be out of control that way.  
human
I drink in moderation now that I'm older. I think that knowing your personal limit is very important. I don't like the "out of control" feeling, either. 
gpt
yes, it is harder for some to know that too I think.  They are more prone to drinking excessively. 
human
People do not realize that there is actually a problem with alcoholism on college campuses. Alcoholics often start at an early age. But, it is considered socially acceptable then. 
gpt
That is true.  I wonder why that is?  We see the problem but no one seems to be addressing it.  Whether it be parents, the students, or colleges.
human
I think people consider the drinking and partying in college a right of passage. Individuals are seen more as cautionary tales rather than symbols of a bigger problem. 
gpt
*frowns* You are probably right and they are wanting them to have a good time in college and make friends.  
human
*tilts head* I know I started partying more because that's where everyone was on the weekends. I was tired of sitting in the dorm with the same old people playing board games. None of the good looking guys were sitting around the dorm. 
gpt
lol...that is probably a big part of it.  Everyone wants to feel included and important.
