No parent wants to believe their kid is a party animal at the age of 13, 15 or even 17. But, is it naive to think that your teenager hasn't had a drink?
In a new, national poll conducted by C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital at the University of Michigan, only 10% of parents said they believe their teenagers (ages 13-17) have used alcohol in the last year. Even fewer, 5 percent, thought their kids had used marijuana during that same time period.
Seems some parents need to read the news about some other studies, and pull their heads out of their rear ends. "Not my little Johnny"isn't working anymore.
ReplyDeleteJust like parents think "My child isn't having sex"...take off the blinders. It's like candy, once you taste it, you want more. Educate.
