[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are free range parents.  Kids can do what they want with no limits.  The reality is the parents get free range of not parenting their kids as kids were a status symbol and they want to be cool/fun friends not parents.  [/quote]

yes, there are parents who want their kids to be popular/cool over all else even if it means being completely permissive.  I'm starting to notice this now in middle school. [/quote]

Yes but do you really think this is free range or permissive parenting when EVERYONE but OP is ok with it?  Maybe, but not likely. [/quote]

OP thanks for feedback.  Realize title was judge mental.  Just frustrated.  I’ve had teens at theee different private schools, There was always some cohesion among the parents on this stuff with my other kids’ social group.  But this school and child are different and it’s been much tougher.  I’ve seen a lot and this is pretty outside the norm.  I’m far from over protective or naive.  [/quote]

I'm with you on this - wouldn't let my kids go if I believed alcohol or drugs were involved.

I'll add this: if this is what you're dealing with in freshmen year I might consider changing schools. Maybe everyone is lucky and makes it through school unscathed and maybe not and someone drives drunk and dies or someone gets raped or overdoses.[/quote]
