And that's fine...I wasn't taking the **** out of his life choices, just taking the **** out of the fact he wont shutup about it. Nothing even prompted this thread except the OP wanting to let everyone know how he is so not like those dirty filthy teens. Maybe I should start a thread about how I'm Christian and how good I am and how that makes me so much better off than everyone else who isn't...let's see how long that would last before I got called out to STFU. *NOTE* I am not really that Christian and I don't think that...it's just an example.

Couldn't agree more. I'm not a parent mate. Never said I was...but when I am, you better believe my kids will be forced the pull their heads in or suffer the consequences. I'm all for discipline mate, I really am but I don't think hard but fair discipline is the only answer to keep your kids from going off the rails.

Anyhoo, you're right, it was kind of rude for me to attack the kid. I stand by my point, but I suppose I should have kept it to myself. I'll cop that one on the chin and keep it to myself

cool mate I can see your point

sweet as. Here, have a beer.

by the way it didnt come from nowhere and im definetly not trying to say how good i am.in the last week of school 2 guys in my year have turned up to school stoned one guy drank a whole bottle of vodka and there is a party coming up next weekend and just to get a few things clear
1.yes i gave advive but thats what advice is for you can take it or leave it
2.im not saying im the best and if anyone drinks smokes or takes drugs they are worse then what i am
3.and im not 1 in a million that doesnt drink smoke or take drugs theres plenty
4.the whole point of this thing was to see what other peoples opinion on the way teenagers act because i have noticed things getting worse where i am it seems that some laws just mean nothing to some people

So what if someone rocked up stoned. So what if someone drank a bottle of vodka. So what if there is a party. It's been like that for years.

Here's a rundown of your first original post:

Teens are crap. Have you seen how bad they are?!!? But me and my friend are not like that. We're better. The end.

obviously you dont understand what i said
and maybe you should re read that original post but in case you dont il give you the rundown
i dont no why people get smashed for no point.you can have fun without alcohol smokes and drugs.lucky my friend is on the same page as me(so i can discuss these things with him).anyone else want to say something about it go for it

With the exception of their schooling, high school kids are basically under very little obligation to do anything. They usually have no bills they are obliged to pay, careers to devote themselves to, concerns about the cost of living, etc. As dependants their existence is almost purely hedonic. Thoughts about the future rarely extend beyond next week. Surely it doesn't need to be stated that alcohol, drugs and sex giveth man great pleasure...

Yeah, it would be great if we could all simply do what gives us satisfaction, but in the real world we're required to act because it might be the right thing to do, because there is no one else to do it for us, because of moral/financial/political/social/legal obligations, or because it isn't significantly inconsequential.

I hope that helps answer the original question, but it is my thoughts only.

You young whippersnappers have it so easy. When I was in high school I worked a fulltime job and had to wear eighties clothes.
