[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate when folks blame the parents. I did similar behavior when I was her daughter's age. My parents were very involved in my life. I got straight As. I was in Girl Scouts. I was involved with numerous volunteer projects and my church group. We had family dinner every night.

I also really liked drinking and boys. My parents could not be with my every  single second and I was a good liar.

OP: My parents obviously eventually found out. I went into therapy. It helped some [b]but to be honest the only thing that helped me change was to completely get a new set of friends and never talk to my old friends again. So I think folks are right on with that advice. [/b]

But this is the main advice we are giving, and the reason we are judging. If “your” children are hanging out with the worthless popular kids, don’t be surprised when you discover that they’re doing bad things.[/quote]

It's not easy to control you kids friends.  Sure you can ban them outside of school. But they will see them in school. I would NEVER blame my parents for the choices I made.  In my situation anyway.  As I said my parents were very involved.  These were friends I had since early elementary. We didn't drink until we did. Parents are not psychic they can't always know the choices their kids friends make.
