[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know. On the one hand, I did a lot of stuff my parents weren't aware of and would've been surprised by. On the other hand, I'm happily married, well-educated, financially stable, and generally they're very happy with the adult I've become. So do the details of my high school and college antics really matter?[/quote] In my opinion the issue is that some kids engage in "typical" teen/college mischief (weed, alcohol, sex) and they are still able to meet their commitments and grow out of it. And some kids engage in that same mischief and aren't able to shake it off and it turns into a free fall off a steap cliff. They engage in increasingly risky behaviors and it does affect their trajectory in life. So how do you know which kind of kid you have? Will you be able to see the free fall as it's starting and get a hold of it? [/quote]
