Boy: Lee
Lee is a 25 year old man who is reasonably intelligent; however, he got into the wrong crowd in secondary school and let his education slip. He started missing lessons to be with his new friends who smoked cannabis regularly. It then got to the point where he would very, very rarely attend school and would just stay at home with his friends around the house just listening to music, having a laugh and smoking cannabis all day, every day. He sat some his GCSE’s but attained very low grades. He knew a girl called Chantelle at a party and became very close, very quickly.
Girl: Chantelle:
Chantelle is a 24 year old woman who is also reasonably intelligent and very mature for her age. She was much focused in school and gained very respectable GCSE grades that she and her family were proud of. She always had a very close friendship group through all of her years in secondary school and was never involved in the drug culture, however, she did enjoy parties where there was alcohol present, but she knew how to handle herself when she was at them. One weekend, she was at a friend’s birthday party where Lee was at. They spent the night drinking together and laughing, ever since that day, they were very close to each other. She was very caring for him and worried about him quite a bit. When Lee and Chantelle were together, and he was under the influence of cannabis, Chantelle would always look out for him and make sure he was okay, this made Lee annoyed all of the time, so now she wants him to give it all up, but he can’t because the cannabis has him mentally addicted. Also, she doesn’t know how to talk to him about the way she feels without him getting offended.
Chantelle and Lee both went to the same Primary school together and were friends then, but as they moved up to secondary school, they both separated and made new friends. They did not really talk as much through their whole secondary school life, until that one day when they went to the same party.
