[quote=Anonymous]I am the parent of a teen, and know a couple of families with teens who are really going off the rails. One family is truly doing all they can, and have always been consistent with rules and consequences. But the family has experienced trauma, and a couple of their kids have not dealt with it well. But the parents are as firm and consistent as they have always been, and do not shield their kids from external consequences of their bad choices. Another family, I could have predicted their current problems years ago. You can't not parent your kid for the first 14 years, let him do whatever he wants with no consequences, not create any internal values structure, and then expect sympathy when he runs wild.[/quote]
