[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was 18 I protested against something my parents believe in, and got arrested on campus. My parents were not contacted.

When I was 18 I got pregnant and got counseled at the student health center and they referred me to an abortion clinic when I decided that's what I wanted.  My parents would not have approved and were not contacted.

I handled my own life without my parents, aside from paying for my education. [/quote]
Sounds like you made bad decisions and would have benefitted from parental involvement.[/quote]

Not that pp, but I made a ton of bad decisions in college - which I suffered the consequences for and learned huge lessons from.  You can't expect a fledgling young adult to do everything perfectly.  They will test the waters and sometimes they will trip up.  Having Mommy and Daddy swoop in and handle things for them may not be as helpful as you think.  Screwing up at 18 is not great but it's a whole lot better than still being an immature "kid" at 28.[/quote]
