> Mark lay in the empty bath examining his left wrist; he clenched his hand and a few tendons hardened beneath the surface, with blue veins running between them. Behind him on a chair were a small sharp kitchen knife, an envelope, a book and a phone. Still contemplating, he fumbled behind him with his right hand and took the knife. Then he slowly scored his wrist, watching blood pool around the cut, and placed the knife on the side of the bath. After a while he licked his wrist, and watched the blood reappear.

Don’t worry, I’m still alive. It’s from a story.

Girl, 5, makes bong in class  
By EDITH BEVIN  
September 29, 2003

A five-year-old Territory girl shocked teachers when she showed her class how to make a bong out of a Coke bottle during a ``show and tell’’ session.

The incident took place at a primary school in Darwin’s northern suburbs.

The revelation comes amid mounting concerns over drug use among Territory primary school students.

At least two instances have been reported to the Education Department of children aged between five and 12 being caught with drugs at school.

In one case the drug was amphetamine. Teachers have indicated this may be the tip of the iceberg.

``The little girl showing how to make a bong was the most in-your-face example of drug culture among primary school students I’ve heard of,’’ one teacher said.

``It’s not unheard of that primary school children will be found with drugs at school,’’ the teacher said.

``Usually it’s just a bit of dope \_ they’ve probably nicked it from their mum’s purse and brought it along to show off.

``I’ve never heard of dealing at a primary school here.’’

But dealing at Territory schools is not unheard of, police say.

The NT Drug Enforcement Unit has run operations at high schools targeting dealing on school grounds.

Police would not name the schools involved.

The Northern Territory News has learned a member of the NT Police has been seconded to the Education Department to work on their new drug policy and protocols.

``The drug education policy is under revision to ensure it accurately reflects modern trends,’’ the spokesperson said.

Students with drugs at school are reported to the school-based constable and are subject to suspension.

A Department of Education spokesman said students being found with drugs at Territory schools was rare.

The spokesman said prosecutions against students are not always pursued.

``Depending on the incident, the constable may refer the matter to the police for further action,’’ the spokesman said.

``Usually, the student involved would be suspended for a period determined by the school, taking into consideration the seriousness of the incident.

``The student would also receive counselling and would be required to successfully undertake a re-entry interview before returning to the school once the period of suspension has passed.’’

JAKARTA (AFP): Cohabitation, oral sex and homosexual sex will soon become crimes in Indonesia if the justice ministry has its way, a ministry spokesman said Monday.

The ministry is drafting an amendment to the country’s criminal code to include acts not currently categorized as crimes but considered morally unacceptable.

These include cohabitation, oral sex, extramarital and non-marital sex, sorcery aimed at hurting other people and homosexual sex, spokesman Sukartono Supangat said.

“It’s still in its early stage. We’re still collecting input from various parties and experts,” he said.
