[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wrong.  I've got 2 teens.  They are not 17, yet.  But I can tell you right now that I won't be condoning hookah smoking.

And I will have zero problems telling them why I can't condone it.[/quote]

Tell them all you want, no one is stopping you. But those of us who have actually had 17-year-olds know that just because you tell them something doesn't mean they will stick to it. You will learn that lesson in time, and then you will realize that treating your 17-year-old like an adult can be the best way to get them to respect your wishes. [/quote]

And what exactly are your wishes?  No one is saying to treat them like little kids.  Fact is, they are not little kids but they aren't little adults either.  They will have many friends over the course of their lives...what they need at this age more than anything are their parents.  It is o.k. to expect them not to do that stuff.  Really, they don't have to do that stuff when they are in HS.[/quote]
