[quote=Anonymous]I graduated high school in 1982 in southern California. My youth was a varient on Dazed and Confused, without the weird paddling thing but with the drinking, parties, going to nightclubs and concernts starting at age 14, and some harder drugs (Quaaludes back when they were still available, LSD, mushrooms, etc.) College was tame compared to my high school experiences and I am the only one of my high school friend group that went to a solid University and grad school. Raised UMC but with oblivious parents (who are lovely people, they were just completely clueless). I am very lucky that I was generally pretty smart and had family that pushed (and paid) for college. I have a teen starting high school and a tween and they are both good kids that (I hope) are on a very different path from where I was, I agree the drugs are stronger and the consequences can be much more severe now and neither I nor DH are as oblivious as my parents were.
