[quote=Anonymous]Lots of alcohol, weed and sex when I was in high school in the 80s. My 20yo didn't start any of that until college, other than drinking a couple of parties senior year. My HS junior seems to be on the same path. Very few parties or hanging out with friends on the weekends. Their weekdays are so packed with school and other activities that they just want to come home and chill on the weekend (and spend time on their screens). I think it's partly lack of opportunity/being overschedule, partly social media, and partly all the messaging they get about how they'll mess up their lives if they drink and drive, get busted at a party, get an STD, have sex without clear consent, get addicted to drugs, etc. There was NONE of that from my parents and a minimal amount at school when I was a teen.[/quote]
