[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe parents claim it isn't a problem b/c they can't find a police report or have never actually witnessed a drug deal going down.  I'm 45 and have never (knowingly) witnessed a drug deal, but I'm convinced it happens.  Ridiculous!  [/quote]

Welcome to Lake Wobegon.

I feel like there are only a handful of parents in this County that don't have their heads completely up their asses.

Most were dorks.  They never saw the culture. They are now living vicariously through their snowflakes in Dorkvilke who can get away with anything.  They are so excited their kids are "popular" because they never were.  Fools.

You can't play a playa.  This is why my dad was always one step ahead of my siblings and I no matter what shit we tried to pull.  My kids don't stand a chance.  We will be up in there. Not so for most kids in this town where they rule and can do no wrong in the eyes of their delusional parents.[/quote]

Yep.  Had to try really hard not to say something rude to the parent who claimed this search "creates a hostile environment for our kids".  But apparently drug dealers in the parking lot, kids OD'ing is just peachy as long as you don't have to hear about it.   :roll: [/quote]

I would add many of these parents had their kids late in life and by the time they reach MS/HS they are old and tired.  Just when they should be stepping up the parenting game the most--they are too tired and johnny is such a good kid they don't have to worry anyways.

MS through HS it should be a damn police state in your house.  Going through their stuff (they are still minors) when they aren't home, monitoring texts/social media, keeping abreast of the vernacular, knowing who they are hanging out with, checking up when they say they will be at so-and-sos, etc.  A truly crafty teen can get away with a lot of sh*t, but at least you can minimize the damage.

Also--scared straight works. My dad used to basically tell us one hit of heroin and you will be completely addicted, eventually die, etc.  We saw prison documentaries---what happens when you go to jail, etc.  You empower kids.  You don't whine and cry --oh we can't have a police state at our schools.  Bullsh*t.  Drug raids were common even at my UMC HS.

Also--shipping your kid off to private doesn't solve everything.   Experience tells me more $ and more privilege sometimes leads to even more abuse.[/quote]
