[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. Your kid is one in a thousand if he hasn't already "experienced" alcohol. Kudos to you! If he's really made it this far, I doubt he'll have a problem in college... just as long as you're not getting duped here.[/quote]

One in a thousand?  You're exaggerating the stats.  It is generally reported that between 20-40% of high school kids drink alcohol.  That means that 60-80% don't drink.  My son is top 5 in his class and very focused on athletics and his health.  His friends are generally the same.  My wife is a teacher.  We are friends with several teachers in the school.  We communicate with his friends parents.  And we live in a small town/small school so kids aren't lost in a mass of students.

I'm well aware that he may have drank, I just feel confident that he's making good choices.  And he has earned a lot of trust from us over the last few years.  He's not perfect.  We're not perfect.  But I wonder why you don't trust your kids at all.  [/quote]

I thought that about my teen, then I found the pot.[/quote]
