[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a HUGE difference between kids in high school and middle school.  I think that most parents who have freshman this year can attest to this.   I am sick of parents of eleven year olds chiming in about what teenagers wear and how they behave.  It does not matter if the teen goes to private school, public school, is rich, middle class or poor, high school students are (rightfully) trying to gain freedom from their parents and are hopefully attempting to navigate independently.  Yes there will be some hiccups along the way, they may wear things you consider inappropriate, may drink at a party or sneak out; it does not  make you a bad parents or your child "low class".  You should not have to call the police on your kid (as some are saying in another post) or scare your daughters into thinking they will be raped on any street corner if they wear short shorts.

You have a certain vision in your head about what the high school years will bring but I dont think many people are prepared for how quickly things change.  Look out for other kids, help your friends and STOP JUDGING.[/quote]

No there are two issues here.

Bad parents are the ones who do not call the police on kids drinking period.  They get in a car and kill themselves or others. It's illegal to drink period. You don't like that law yes law then work to change it. Yes, I judge parents who provide alcohol to anyone under the age of 18. Of course I know my kids drank. That did not mean there should not be consequences, why should they get a pass. Again it's against the law!

Clothing no who the H cares. That is such a nothing burger in terms of raising kids. I agree the whole purity shorts are too short is just absurd.
