I wonder what the prevalence of this kind of behavior is like in countries that aren’t so weird about sex.
Kids don't know or understand the damage this can cause someone.
They see it as a joke most of the time.
It needs to be made illegal and the kids properly educated about why.
It's easy as an adult to condemn these children but we have a lot more life experience.

If your argument is "The educators just need to make sure the kids learn that this is not a joke", DARE has been educating students about the dangers of illegal drugs for 40 years.

You might persuade some, but the problem will not go away.
DARE is known as a bad program, because it goes for fear mongering rather actual education. Everyone knows someone who uses marijuana, and they're teeth haven't all fallen out and they're haven't turned into a psychotic murderer. [VOX - Why anti-drug campaigns like DARE fail

There are good and bad ways to go about education. Like comprehensive sex education vs abstinence only, even though they're covering the same topic, actual education is much more effective than just say no. [NLM Abstinence-only and comprehensive sex education study
](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18346659/)
That was my point. DARE didn't stop drug use. Any education will persuade some. However, unless the students and their families buy in at 100%, this problem isn't going away.

Education alone is not going to make this go away.
I 100% agree that education alone will not resolve the issue, but I believe education can help the efficacy of other approaches.
I did a report on the dangers of LSD when I was young.
I learned it’s impossible to overdose on and nobody has died directly as a result of it.
I had never been so interested in trying something out. “Okay so the world becomes crazy for 4-8 hours and you see crazy stuff and everything is hilarious and you can’t die at all and all you gotta do it be in a comfy set and setting”
God damn, Imma clean out a vial and watch Enter the Void
Quick edit: staring at my MacBook Pro turned into fractals and it’s just fucking anodized aliminium wtf that’s cool
