well growing up in a strict family i know not to do anything stupid like drugs or drink and drive (oh ya cause im gonna ride in my powerwheels drunk right) or do it with every second or third girl i see ( not that i ever could, oh burn!) and well i was thinking about how people are diffrent due to their family life, for example: My mom always warn us about if you ever and junk and ive never smoked, done drugs or robbed any banks yet, and lets see the other side, lets use.. oh let call him billy bob drug addict... now he lives in a family where his parent dont pay attention to what he does so hes out doing drugs and smokes and hold the record for most sexual partners in one hour and well he later ends up with lung cancer and some kind of STD oh lets say aids... and gets shot in a bank robbery (bet you didnt see that coming) but the question is who is at fault... well in my eyes, they are equaly at fault, now some of you are probly saying how is it the adults fault, well as a parent it is there duty as a parent to take care of their child and make sure they dont get in to any trouble, but little billy is also at fault because he should know what is right and what is wrong.. now at a certian age little billy is going to make is own decisions, but if his mommy and daddy payed attention to what he was doing and warned him ahead of time he may not have been shot.. or all that other stuff i said
Basic summary, they both have equal resposibity of what goes on...
how do you see it?

If I were to drink, have sex, or steal I wouldn't blame it on my mother...
I think blaming your faults on your parents is a sign of weakness and irresponsibility (not including abusive parents).
Sometimes parents can't totally prevent their kids from screwing up.

If I were to ever do something like drugs or drinking or whatever (which will never happen, ever) I would only blame myself. I'm old enough to make such decisions. It's the parent's responsibility for a child until they are a certain age and can do things for themselves.

My mom is a drunk, both of my parents have been arrested, my dad does serious drugs. Do you see me doing those things?
A lot of rich girls here have strict parents and they get around the rules by lying. They do drugs and have sex. Parents help but it comes down to the kid.

exactly they are not acting like parents, if they did it would of lowerd his chances of being the way he is now, he says in grade 7 he was a strait A student, then he found drugs, and hes been failing ever since...

Heh, no one in our family has gotten straight A's before, Ever. So something like drugs would just screw us over in such a case. :P
