[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NCS and Holton girls party plenty, trust me. As others have said, it's all about what "friend group" your daughter chooses coupled with her own moral compass. Parents needs to do their jobs and not just blame it on the school. Be clear about your expectations and boundaries, and implement consequences. [/quote]

Parents are often the problem. Kids that party and drink heavily often have parents who do so as well. They grow up in a family that puts great importance on social status, and for high schoolers that often involves partying. The worst of these parents are the ones who are absent and their houses are used for parties, or even host the parties themselves and allow and encourage underage drinking. [/quote]

We are currently living in a cultural where the alcoholic mom who drinks mimosas for breakfast, Bellinis at lunch with the yoga moms, and a bottle after work to wind down from the kids is normalized, paraded on social media as something relatable if not aspirational and in full on display for our kids. Not to mention dad who’s always drinking, especially socially at business functions, dinners, at home.. a few beers, some shots.. adult drinks at kid birthday parties. The problem isn’t the drunk kids, they’re symptoms of their parents example.
