[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am truly interested in what kind of high school experience the call the police posters had. We drank all the time, went to top DC schools, went to great colleges, and were generally fine. We were drinking beer and, back then, smoking cigarettes. We weren't doing anything too crazy.

Did these posters not go to parties, and assume parties involved cocaine and sex trafficking or something? This level of outrage is such an extreme take on normal teen behavior. You have to teach your kid how to exist in the world. It's not your job to shut down teenage activity as a general matter. [/quote]

I grew up in this area as well and my experiences compared to my teens' experiences is like night and day.

The partying and drinking we did back then was like PG-13 rated, if you will.  It was pretty harmless.  We drank mainly beer, had some liquor when someone smuggled it from a parent, and the worst drugs was weed.  Of course, everyone smoked cigs.  This was HS years 1995-1999.  I don't remember any friends ever drinking so much they blacked out.  The hardest drug ever offered to me was shrooms once.

The partying and drinking that my kids have told me about is like NC-17 or more.  Most of my son's friends have fake IDs.  He's said he doesn't and I haven't found one, but he's showed me several videos on how easy it is to order one.  It's not uncommon to have 2 or 3 kids drinking so much that they pass out.  Some kids think it's okay to have one drink and still be the DD or smoke weed and be the DD!  They smoke weed like we did cigarettes.  The drugs they take at these parties are much harder, like coke and molly.     [/quote]
