[quote=Anonymous]Drinking, zyns, taking cold medicine, taking prescription pills, vaping, cigarettes, gummies, peer pressure to hook up, consent, social media, videos, photos, etc. can be happening in 9th grade.

We are in NOVA. Our experience has been around 8th grade alcohol started appearing and by 9th more and more kids were sneaking it into parties (usually in a backpack). Many were straight out stealing it from grocery stores because most stores have a policy to not chase or confront shoplifters. So kids would literally just walk out with it.

Then in 10th some of the parents either looked the other way when booze was around or actually provided it (which made me livid). We constantly talk about the dangers and risks of with our teens. We insist they keep their location services on, never get in the car with a driver who has been drinking or taking drugs and that they can ALWAYS call us for a safe ride home or take an Uber (we will pay).

By 11th grade some kids were able to rent air bnbs to throw parties. I have no idea how. [/quote]
