[quote=Anonymous]For those who say "I was a teenager, I know how to raise teens", unless you are under about the age of 15, it is a VERY different world for teens now than it was in the 80s/90s.

Kids/teens are exposed to so much more and know so much more than we did when we were kids.  If you don't believe me, listen to songs that come on the radio--Ke$ha for instance.  Or watch TV shows that come on TV--network television during primetime is much different than it was when we were young.  Family Guy is not the Cosby Show.    And it is very easy to find porn online.  Seriously you just have to google "porn".  Awesome for the consumer of porn, a challenge for a parent.

Parents cant just assume that they raised their kids right--it is necessary to realize that it is a different world, and prepare your kids for it.  Talk to them about real life issues that speak to tehm.  I know that if my parents had told me that my drinking at home could result in their losing their house, I would have rolled my eyes.  But had they told me how many calories were in booze, that woud have been a different story :-)[/quote]
