Teens Suspended for Sharing Inhaler

In Monument, Colorado two eighth grade girls have been suspended, after the one passed her inhaler to her friend when both thought she was having an asthma attack during gym class. The incident went unnoticed until the one girl had a slight allergic reaction to the inhaler medicine, and went to the school nurse.

The principal of the school has not only suspended both girls for "sharing a prescription drug", but is recommending expulsion from the school district. The school district's superintendent has backed up the principal saying that the punishment is totally appropriate, and that the girls need to learn from this.

The girls, and their families, defend their actions as the right thing to do. Both say they would do it again under similar circumstances.

    they both need to stop and think what if that was their kid having the attack. i see nothing wrong with it, except that she has a good heart. If that is wrong then we all need to go back and rewrite hand books and rules. that is my thoughts
