2nd April 2025 – (Hong Kong) Recent images circulating on social media have sparked significant concern regarding the behaviour of secondary school students. The photos, which depict two apparently youthful students in uniform seated on a rear staircase, show a girl holding a lighter and a large cigarette, with the cigarette appearing unlit. Beside her is a bottle of South Korean Soju, notably still full.
In a separate image, the girl is seen holding a mobile phone in one hand while attempting to flick off ash with the other; her male counterpart stands nearby, with his hands in his pockets, quietly observing. Observant netizens have speculated that these students may be from a school linked to the AD&FD POHL Leung Sing Tak College.
The photos have generated over 7,000 shares on Threads, igniting a lively discussion online. However, specifics regarding the location and timing of the incident remain unspecified. Commenters have expressed shock and outrage, with one stating, “This is absolutely disgraceful!” while others have inquired about the school involved, indicating a desire to report the incident.
Some have suggested that this could be part of a project, asserting that the girl does not appear to be the type to smoke, which adds an element of peculiarity to the photographs. On the other hand, there are also concerns that young students resorting to smoking could be indicative of deeper issues, with commentators urging the poster to report the situation to the school directly instead of pursuing online shaming, to avoid placing undue pressure on their peers. There are suggestions that the underlying problems may stem from familial backgrounds that contribute to rebellious behaviour among students.
