[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ours are older teens and the preparation began long ago. DH is a borderline conspiracy theorist (and mostly thinks the worst of everyone esp of the male variety) so a lot of it has been on him and he's taught them intense situational awareness, personal, physical self-defense and how to carefully handle and be weary of firearms. Both do/did JROTC, have earned their Marksmanship badge, and keep physically fit. My part has been more preventative and on the emotional side with the biggest advice of avoiding potential problems to begin with things like (1) if you [i]know[/i] a party's gonna get outta hand, don't go in the first place, (2) if you do go to a party and it [i]looks[/i] like it's gonna get outta hand, leave, (3) don't drink. period, (4) don't ever get in a car with someone who has been drinking -- teen or adult and (5) cultivate similarly minded friends,

Final advice is to never be afraid to flee or ask for help. Neither is a sign of weakness. That goes for everything from academics to affairs of the heart.

Is it fair? No, life isn't fair. Has it kept them away from some good times? Maybe, but they've already seen the wisdom when a few things they wanted to do....turned out bad and they heard about it afterwards. Sometimes Mom & Dad ain't so dumb.
