[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FYI your judgement is likely driven by fear and and unconscious need for reassurance. [/quote] Fear, yes! There is an epidemic of reckless teenage boys doing willfully dangerous things and it has to stop. This time no one else was injured but that is often not the case. Parents of boys need to DO BETTER. You can't just check out once they hit 6th grade like so many do. [/quote] Do you have a teen son? This is not an “epidemic”. It’s a normal part of boys growing up. They can be reckless and thoughtless. My own son is a sweetheart but can be incredibly bone headed sometimes, much more so than his sister. We aren’t going to be able to “fix” this. All we can do is try to provide rules to structure their opportunities for destruction and guide them best we can. But even the best parenting is going to continue to lead to these types of events. It is just human development we are dealing with. [/quote]
