Yes, all (well, most) kids will try alcohol and marijuana. But some use them chronically and therefore become dangers on the highway. A lot of these kids' parents actually give them keg parties, saying "I'd rather he drank at home." And many of the kids are just reacting to the craziness at home.<BR/><BR/>I am not in favor of most adolescents drinking <I>or</I> driving, frankly. I think the driving age should be put up to 17. And parents who find liquor in their kids cars need to take the cars away, no questions ask, no getting them back.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07124489754017593105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340684.post-1153020090757053372006-07-15T23:21:00.000-04:002006-07-15T23:21:00.000-04:00It was a drunk driver who landed me in a wheel cha...It was a drunk driver who landed me in a wheel chair for over eight years and that drunk driver was just shy by a few days of his twenty-first birthday. But, a drunk driver is going to drink whether he or she is 18 or 40, age doesn't necessarily mean responsible. Education is the key, and for the kid who hit me, his education came with jail time and losing his license. I hate drunk drivers, or drivers who drink but, I drink a wine cooler and drive so I can't be to self righteous. I don't know. It's for sure, there in the fort as here on the hill, a lot of kids drink and drive. It's sad but true.zelda1https://www.blogger.com/profile/04212809913449846878noreply@blogger.com
