[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well from my perspective as long as my kid doesn’t drink/so drugs, I don’t care. They kids are not driving yet, so they’re either walking home or a mom/dad is still picking them up.

But. My daughter doesn’t like it that the kids started drinking because it changed the dynamic of parties (also in 9th grade). People get secretive and go off in huddles together (to smoke pot), they start acting weird and everyone is laughing and in on a joke that she and her friends aren’t part of.  It gets awkward. Everyone is having a seemingly great time and if you’re one of the few who isn’t partaking then you’re just watching others.  My point, is that I suspect in time kids will either start drinking/smoking pot themselves or not want to attend. Although maybe your son’s experience was different. [/quote]

Yeah talk to your kid about this. There are groups that socialize without the drinking and the drugs and those might be more fun for someone not partaking. Spending so much time around the group that does drink and vape can distort the perception of a kid to start to think "everyone else is doing it so why don't I also join." Slippery slope and all [/quote]
