[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we all just take a moment here of silence?

I'd like to reflect on how fuc%ing lucky we all were growing up in the 20th century where our parents weren't up our ass and couldn't spy on our every move. So grateful I got to experiment, make bad choices, learn and still grow up and be confident because my parents couldn't helicopter and engineer my every move. Despite all this Im still able to be Vice President of a 500 million dollar company with a successful marriage and beautiful kids. Despite all that experimentation, now at age 42, 2 glasses of wine gives me the most viscous hangover.

Memories, all encased in my brain, without my mothers knowledge not memorialized on social media.

It sounds like we had similar experiences and came out fine on the other end.  How, I know several friends from that period of my life that were dead by 50 and alcoholism and drug use were significant contributing factors.  I'm am so not a helicopter parent.  But, if your 14 year old child is trying LSD, it's time to intervene in some way.[/quote]

I'm not as old as you (none of my friends are near 50) however none of them are addicts, maybe that will change at 50? All of them with families and pretty normal boring middle aged people. We just smoked plenty of pot, dropped acid a few times and were lucky if we got our hands on shrooms. One of my best friends is an oral surgeon who just opened his own private practice. I went to Langley and I'd say my group from high school are overachievers.

Despite all of the micromanaging that goes these days and all of the black hawk choppers that are hovering the suicide rate is up, the addiction rate is up, and happiness is at an all time low for teens. These kids have no control of their lives, and are given no room to learn on their own and grow in their confidence.

I'm not endorsing taking LSD, but just as my mom respected my diary and never read it, nor did she listen in on my telephone calls,  I do not intrude in my kids personal messages or digitally spy on them. [/quote]

And yes, 14yrs is way too young and no age is good to do LSD, what I find concerning is how much we don't allow our kids to make mistakes and all the snooping we do in their personal space. It is as detrimental as drugs.[/quote]
