It’s also the mindset that HS is the new college. HS students now behave similar to college students and are encouraged by parents.

Look at the pregaming before HS football games (parents and students), how proms and dances are as elaborate and as expensive as sorority and fraternity functions (party bus, sleepovers, after parties). Even HS graduation parties are boozy with parents and families  combining forces and throwing huge backyard catered parties for multiple graduates. These parties always include an open bar and coolers of beer and wine seltzer.

Don’t get me started on Beach Week. Parents provide alcohol, stock fridges and even stay nearby to “chaperone” and then look the other way and drive kids to the ER, pay lost security deposits, intervene w/ landlords, rent the house in their names.

All done in the name of “preparation for college.” The parents think they are doing their 
kids huge favors! The adults get to relive their crazy college days alongside their kids![/quote]

You’re the same crazy extreme poster. Most parents don’t do this. As stated, they are on the way other end of the spectrum from you. [b]Knowing your kid has a beer every once in a while, and not keeping your head in the sand about this and other uncomfortable topics is very different from the other behaviors you’re describing.[/b] [/quote]

You say this as if this is an innocuous thing. A 15 or 16 year old "who has a beer once in a while" is NOT NORMAL. This is not ok. There are consequences to this in the long-term that you are overlooking.

That's what people are trying to explain to you that you refuse to listen to.[/quote]
