[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]JFC, there is no "these days" when it comes to adolescent boys doing stupid shit. Tale as old as time, literally. [/quote]

This.  When I was a teenage boy in the 80s, I did plenty of stupid, dangerous, reckless, irresponsible, sometimes criminal shit.  For example:

- We had a game where the object was to fire tennis ball into the window of a moving car from a moving car.  This led to numerous car chases on back roads.  
- Mailbox baseball.
- Shooting lights out with sling shots.
- Driving past a car dealership with those same slingshots and launching ball bearings into the lot of new cars for sale.
- Playing chicken. 
- We wanted to play paintball, but no one had paintball guns, so we dressed up in winter jackets in the summer and played wargames with BB guns - one pump only.  
- Shot at each other with bottle rockets, out of a lacrosse stick with the head removed.  
- Taped bottle rockets onto wooden arrows and launched them into the air, a la Dukes of Hazard (thank goodness we couldn't get our hands on dynamite sticks).

We were all good kids (or, at least, not the "bad kids" at the school, not by a long shot).  That group right now consists of a doctor, a lawyer, an architect, and yes, a few derelicts.

Point being, if you think just talking to teenage boys will always prevent them from doing stupid stuff, even the smart, studious ones, you're dreaming.  [/quote]
