[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Found out last year that my HS sophomore had been drinking and lied about it when caught. She was grounded for a while, and the friends she drank with were banned from the house for a while too (because they snuck alcohol in). Now, they're allowed, and she is allowed to go out in a limited capacity, [b]but DD gets breathalyzed randomly. [/b]

When she complains, I tell her that we had many conversations around trust from a very young age, and now she's finding out that once lost, it's really difficult to get it back. [/quote]

That's insane[/quote]

That's not insane, it's good parenting. Good grief, I can't believe how many parents on here are just accepting that their kids will do this, or have few consequences if they do. These are kids with underdeveloped brains. Do some research. Kids who drink/do drugs/have sex earlier have worse long term outcomes than peers who do not. It's quite clear. Neither of my kids drink (yet-I'm not so naive to say they never will in HS) but if I caught them you can bet I would be randomly breathalyzing as well. It's my job. Freshman are 14 years old. That is insanely young to be heading down this path. I know of some kids in my own freshman's class who are starting with the drinking and pot and I will do everything in my power to make sure my DC avoids them.[/quote]
