For the fool who is wineing for a Ham Sandwich....What goes around comes around. How dare you be so cruel to a family who is griving. One of these days you will lose a loved one(if you have any loved ones). It would serve you right to be treated in the same manner.

no, the real truth is that she made her choices in life and they ended up killing her. nobody forced her to do anything, she did it to herself. like you said, you tried to help her as much as you could but ultimately it was her own bad choices that killed her.


Our Unnoticed Teenage Heroin Problem

there is no drug problem and there never has been, only stupid kids who choose to do drugs and stupid parents who failed to instill a proper sense of right and wrong, smart and stupid. im sick of this "it's not my fault, it's theirs" culture worthless idiots invented. take some damn responsibility for your actions and make other's take responsibility for their actions too! i know in school, kids are told why drugs are a bad idea and what is does to you. Alicia made her choices, not her dealer and not her friends, Alicia made those choices and is dead because of them.

Wineing? Does that mean I drink wine with my ham sandwich? If so I'd like a nice Cabernet sauvignon. Now hurry up with that sandwich.

All of you need to get a fucking life and stop talking all this negative shit about Alicia. Most of you didn't even know her or the hell her family went through trying to get her help. Nobody can get help if they don't want to help themselves first, so everyone needs to stop saying her family and friends didn't love her. How would you like it if someone were to talk shit after you passed on. Everyone wants to talk shit about her now because she can't defend herself. FUCK ALL OF YOU GET A LIFE!!!!!!
Rest in Peace Alicia...love you girl!

see, that's just it, she didnt want help and it killed her which is her own fault. i was just saying that it seems the parents failed to instill proper values. dont worry, it's nobody's fault. *rolls eyes* it's not the fault of her friends, her dealer or anyone but her guardian(s) and herself.

wrong, i addressed the issue. bottom line: there is no drug problem, only problem children. if your kid is too stupid to understand how dumb drugs are, they get what they deserve. if you failed to help your kid understand, you are a lousy parent and shouldnt be breeding. nobody is forcing them to take drugs so everyone take some fucking responsibility for your actions. that is the big picture.

This whole thread makes me sad. I didn't know Alicia as well as others, but I did spend 6 weeks with her at a treatment center (and no, she did not OD the day after she got home or whatever was said above). I feel that I did get to know her well enough to know that she *did* want to recover. She had made many changes while in treatment, we all did.

Whatever your view is on the drug problem or lack thereof today, at least have some respect for those who are grieving. Who did what they could to help.

Really, why would her family be reading this? Is that how folks grieve around here? Make the misery even worse? How stupid. And, if you really believe that everyone is who they say they are here (like best friends) then that is even more stupid.

In answer to your question you cold hearted exscuse for a human, you don't know what it is like to loose someone you love. you miss them so much it hurts to open your eyes in the morning..friends and family search to find kind words about their loved one. instead, you stumble across a website like this where people share their bullshit views of your loved ones death, making a mockery of her life and death. how sad.. that people having nothing else to do in their pathetic life, but to trash someone who cannot defend themself. people like you are so disconnected with the human condition, the only thing you can do is write bullshit like this. i have no clue what kind of game you think this is, but someone's child, sister, grandchild, neice, and friend is gone. this is real and it is not a video game. connect with humans..i hope you never ever experience death of a child in your life...i hope karma doesn't come back to you...keep this type of dialogue up and it will! get a real life and picure how you would feel if someone was writing this garbage about your mom, sister, friend. think about it...this is real life and their are people who are devastated by this loss.

wtf is it that everyone becomes some sort of fucking saint? respect is EARNED not handed out. she's dead and she didnt respect some basic princples of life which is why she is dead.


> her family is reading this and they are all devastated.

anyone who goes online thinking they will find only good things about the recently deceased is an idiot. Don Geronimo is one of those idiots.

They irony of all that you say...shaming all those that post here as if it is a game when you or "family" are surfing around the net trying to resurrect kind memories. That does not make the rest of us cold, heartless. It only makes you foolish. This would be the last place I'd be if someone near and dear died. It's probably best if you stick with the baby books, photo albums, yearbooks, etc...all those nice things that total strangers can't access. Seems like a more suitable way to remember your loved one.

yiy, I do agree. But for those of us that were in treatment with Alicia, it's not so simple. We don't have yearbooks or photo ablums. All we have are memories. So for us, I think it makes sense that we're looking online. Our group from treatment lives all over the country and so we're not able to be together in person to grieve.

Go check out her facebook page and judge for yourself. Whether or not you think she was a hottie she was clearly attractive enough to hang with the hotties and turbo hotties and get invited to the same parties they would go to.

I raise this point not to reduce a person's life worth to how physically attractive he or she was but point out what is possibly the most disturbing aspect of this tragedy, how a presumably normal, attractive and popular person could end up dying this way. Even if your kid is a straight A student and stud jock at WHS, he would want to go to the same parties this girl went to. That certainly doesn't mean that if this kid was allowed to go to those parties that everyone there would end up doing smack, it's just that there is no firewall separating normal kids who just want to have fun from those who have serious life threatening addictions.

I understand the desire for young people to want to look at life through a different lens from time to time. I'm not proud of how much weed I used to smoke but I smoked plenty of it and only gave it up completely within the last five years. The hardest drugs I had access to in my youth were LSD (never tried it) and coke which hooked me and several of my friends. I was the first to beat it followed by all but one of my friends who to my knowledge still struggles with it (I lost track of him so I don't know for sure). For every high school age kid reading this I would bet several of your parents had similar experiences to mine whether or not they share this with you. We couldn't get heroin if we wanted it though. Up until about my senior year in high school I though the only way to take it was shoot it up in gritty urban Billie Holliday blues singer style. I remember a returning college student telling me at a high school party of smoking it, you still threw up afterwards but then you got really high. No thanks.

Although I largely agree that everyone is responsible for their own lives I've been around long enough to see that fate and circumstance frequently deals people a shitty hand. Regardless of what people type in this thread if there isn't a small voice inside you saying "there but for the grace of god go I" as a person, or loved one of this person, then your setting yourself up to be seriously humbled at some point in your life.

As a parent of a young daughter, I can't even imagine the grief the grief this girls family and loved ones must be experiencing and can only offer my deepest sympathy and condolences.

Exactly! Although my high school days are long over- at Chantilly we had the graffiti house out front that was ok to vandalize. And I know Westfields has a rock of some sort. Funny how kids think doing something like that to the Sully Station sign is making some sort of statement. For me, it just validates how juvenile and immature the kids are these days.

I love it!! You are my biggest fan =D I'm sure you would feel the same way too if you ever get out of your parents basement and buy a nice home in a community that your HOA dues had to go towards replacing a damn sign cause some F-ups felt the need to vandalize it. So get off my jock son. If you'd like to call though please feel free, ask for the District Commander (202) 727-4383. But make sure you call during day shift. And you shouldn't be so concerned about finding me, when you have already been found.

Hey just so you know I have never done drugs in my life 469 and to be frank get off this site you are nothing but an ass. Alicia was a wonderfully smart and caring girl. That is how she needs to be remembered. We all make mistakes and have flaws, but for you to insult her is just plain assanine. In the eyes of God the enemy will not go unpunished but will be persecuted. Alicia I miss and love you.

I agree 496 this generation (not just teens though) is thin skinned. . . but for that you must look at our parents. It's how many of us were brought up. Not just our parents, the media too. I mean we grew up watching shows like Mr Rogers that told us we were all special. And it seems to only be getting worse. I mean hell, they give EVERYONE trophies these days that way nobody feels hurt? That's just plain ridiculous and it sets them up for disappointment down the road. And does some of this contribute to drug use? Definitely. Many of us don't know how to handle rejection, disappointment, stress. . . . and so we turn to what's easily available. It's not just drugs but also eating disorders, self injury, promiscuity. . .all types of self-destructive behaviors we use to escape ourselves or our situations.

I just heard about this tragedy. I am extremely saddened and my heart goes out to this family. The Lannes's were close family friends when I was growing up. I was in high school at the same time as Alicia's father and uncle and I remember them well. Her aunts are caring and nurturing people. The last time I saw the family was at Alicia's grandmothers funeral, and they are really a tight knit close and loving group of people. I am very sorry and my thoughts and prayers are with them.

On another note, I have a daughter who graduated high school last year as well. We have moved away from the area but many of her close friends from Stone middle school graduated from Westfields- all great kids- doing well in college and moving on to become great adults. She used to tell me that drugs were pretty commonplace at Westfields but her friends had created a safe haven amongst themselves. I think it is possible for kids to do that- there are drugs at any high school.

I think raising a child/teenager is a crapshoot. This can and does happen to any of us. Don't make judgments- just understand that raising kids is never as easy as it looks from the outside. In addition, we are always vulnerable to many outside circumstances. In the end, there is no good way to avoid this happening to your own children.

We all need to remember the role that our government plays in issues such as this. Our recent (and I mean in the past 6 years) policies in the middle east have caused this resurgence of heroin to occur. Our inability to properly execute our plans in the middle east has reopened the door for the poppie seed industry and the entire thing comes home to haunt us. However, the Bush twins have 24 hour Secret Service with them, so I guess W doesn't need to think about how his actions extend to his family.

My condolences to the Lannes family.

Just to let you know, a drug dealer would not lace weed w/ heroin. Heroin, by weight, is way more expensive than weed. They usaully cut drugs w/ less expensive immitators in order to maximize profit. Also, they don't lace weed w/ PCP. they use embalming fluid, because it's cheap, fries your brain, and gets you real fucked up.

wow, this is a HUGE stretch. yeah, just blame the government because some parents cant cut it. boohoo, it's the big ol' bad government that made her do drugs. people need to take responsibility and hold people responsible for their actions. nothing "just happens," it's called causality. we all make choices, some good, some bad and we all have to live with or die from them.

I appreciate your viewpoint, but it's not as big a stretch as you might think. It's important to understand that we are not alone in this world and that everything is interconnected. I am of the 'It takes a Village' mentality, and clearly you are not. But we will have to agree to disagree. Just please give the poor girl a break now. We have all made mistakes that we regret (including yourself, I'm sure). In this instance, it went to far for her to have the priviledge of regret. Let her rest in peace and allow it to be a lesson to people everywhere who have had an increased level of any kind of drug made readily available through the mistakes of their community, or even thier government.

Peace.

at 16 you are barely still a child, you may not be an adult but you still understand what your choices will yeild. i know she heard over and over again from various sources (including schools which are government run) that drugs (especially the hard drugs) are bad for you. besides, how is it that the other 99% of people dont have these problems in life? the answer is because they choose to not take drugs like heroin. sure a good chunk of idiots get stoned and drink but even in their self-destructive ways they still know that doing heroin is a really really bad idea.


>But we will have to agree to disagree.

feel free to disagree but i dont have to disagree because you are just wrong. everyone has a choice, she made her's. someone who disagrees that 8 + 3 = 17 doesnt have a different opinion, they are just wrong.

the differences is i learn from my mistakes. sure taking heroin was a choice and a mistake. going into rehab helped correct that mistake but then she turned around and made the same fucking mistake, not a week or month later but a single day!



bottom line: one cant blame their choices on anyone but themselves.

----------If you are barely a child, then you can't be that responsible.- right? I'm not sure I follow your argument here.


feel free to disagree but i dont have to disagree because you are just wrong. everyone has a choice, she made her's. someone who disagrees that 8 + 3 = 17 doesnt have a different opinion, they are just wrong.

----------It's never very wise to tell someone they are wrong, just in case they are able to provide evidence that they are not. However, I guess having a dialogue on an anonymous message board isn't the wisest decision that I've ever made so I apologize for my short-sightedness.



the differences is i learn from my mistakes. sure taking heroin was a choice and a mistake. going into rehab helped correct that mistake but then she turned around and made the same fucking mistake, not a week or month later but a single day!

----------------------Yes, drugs are a choice. A bad choice. And good for you for learning from your mistakes. I guess that makes you better than many others. So, you can continue sitting on your high horse and feeling superior. Just remember the higher you go, the harder you eventually fall. Don't break anything.

perhaps you misunderstood, i said, "barely still a child" meaning they are almost adults. adult or not, everyone is held accountable for their actions.

Hey you stupid little ignorant asshole. Get a life, and get off this site, if you have nothing better to do, to write evil and sad things about a young girl who is not here anymore to defend herself. One day, you will learn about death of a loved one in your family and when you do, remember all the crappy things you write here. I hope it keeps you up at night, cause what goes around will come around. That includes all of you, who are hung up on writing about a girl and circumstances you know nothing about. Isn't there anything better for you to do. All of you, who have written cruel comments about Alicia should be ashamed of yourselves. Just remember you all have brothers and sisters, daughters, neices and nephews, grandchildren. How would you feel, really? This is sad and these comments say alot about how disconnected people are with other people. Don't write about something you know nothing about.

Why? So you could send them to prison where they could learn from the professional criminals how to feed their drug habit? Our "War on Drugs" is ineffective and too costly. Drug programs are much effective tools to combat drugs then prison.

ha! do you even know what those drugs do to you? they are the most addictive drugs there are and it doesnt take a trip to jail for someone to figure out that stealing from people is an easy source of money. however, when they get caught, they will go to jail, not on drug charges, they would be charged with breaking and entering and theft. how ignorant are you?

Gravis...you truly have a talent for getting off topic. I never said the only reason anyone steals is to feed a drug habit. But the act of distribution and use is a documented reason for increased violence. You really need to let go of the anger you have....it is twisting your ability to think.

The true definition of ignorance is to continue to pursue a policy that doesnt work...over and over and over again. Our current drug policies do exactly that. If we were so worried as a society about eliminating the most addictive drugs we would outlaw nicotine...however government regulation (controlling the amount of nicotine that can be put into cigarette) and regulation has reduced the amount of smoking. This formula of regulation, education and rehabilitation has been proven to work.

you made a statement and i responded so dont blame me for this being off-topic.

nor did i.

so why do you think legalizing it is good idea?

im not angered, im vengeful and exposing flaws in your logic or disagreeing with you does not equal a twisted ability to think.

i guess we should stop arresting carjackers too.

i think it should be outlawed but a big problem is that too many people are current addicted as opposed to a small minority.

i believe that the goal (for some) is ultimately to outlaw nicotine (make it a controlled substance) to curb smoking for good. however, these changes are quite recent and it will take time.

rehabilitation from smoking?! oh please! there are actual rehab centers specifically for (other) drugs.




there is a big difference between nicotine from other drugs: it does not have a permanent effect on the brain. while some drugs dont have a permanent effect on the brain, they rapidly destroy your body and are EXTREMELY addictive. you will never here of a heroin addict quitting on their own, they always need help.

Hmmm....lets see...if we remove the profit motive...get the criminals out of distributions and sales of narcotics...and replace them with law abiding citizens...I think the level of violence will be reduced.

Propose to me an alternative to arresting them and perhaps we should. But the stealing of another person's property isnt really a fair comparison to a person with a drug addiction. While I will not describe a drug addiction as hurting no one besides themselves....if you eliminate the criminal element and profit motive from it...drug addiction primarily hurts no one other then the addict...and his/her family.

Well...if I thought outlawing nicotine wouldnt just result in a violent underground economy as alcohol did during prohibition and drugs do today I might agree with you. I think current restrictions of where you can smoke...taxing it so people pay for their habits....and MOST importantly education on the effects of tobacco are sufficient.

Well...you specifically addressed the brain...and while I have no idea if you just puled that fact out of your a.s.....the other substances associated with tobacco...succh as tar can permanently effect other body parts such as your lungs.

But again..Stay focused here ...that isnt the point/issue. The issue is the effectiveness of outlawing drugs as a means of limiting their use. I believe the billions spent on trying to stop their importation and the billions spent on incarcerating drug abusers is an ineffective use of the resources.

yes, i was going to mention that tobacco product kill you slowly but i was sure you would just throw it back at me saying that tobacco products are not a drug, the nicotine in it is the drug.

you've done it again vince, you made a statement and when i make a point about it you claim it's off topic!

im willing to bet my bottom dollar that there are a lot less drug addicts than smokers.

Gravis...I agree. So, what is your point? If you are trying to build the case that cigarettes should be outlawed..I humbly disagree. Regulation...taxation...education...and rehabilation is the effective way to go (in my humble opinion).

my point is that your regulation, taxation, education, rehabilitation idea isnt working.
