POINT OF ORDER! My folks did an amazing job teaching me right from wrong. Guess who regularly continued to choose wrong? ( and I dont, in haindsight view it as wrong choices, though I was taught they were, and Ill tell my kid that she needs to be smar twhen exploring the world, NO PICTURES!!!!!) Smoking and drinking at 15, fake ID at 17, drugs, booze, petty criminal nonsense, and in the end, I turned out pretty friggin awesome, I look back on it and say, kids are kids. I have an amazing job, an amazing marriage and an amazing daughter.
Dont ALWAYS blame the parents for a late teen knowing better and doing it anyway.
