[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW this is pretty normal. I did the same type thing when I was a freshman. I am not an alcoholic or an addict. I also have a freshman and this is pretty common as they are getting older. My child plays on a HS sports team with older kids and they said that the older kids talk about getting wasted. We have told our kids the same re honesty. I think you did the right thing re the lying. [/quote] No, it's not normal for high school freshman to be drinking. Don't minimize this. OP, you're doing the right thing by treating this seriously and enacting significant consequences. Alcohol is particularly terrible for developing brains and the earlier kids drink, the higher the risk for developing problems in the future. The Addiction Inoculation by Jessica Lahey is a great book on this topic for parents.[/quote]
