Remember one thing too folks.....what happened to all of us at some point or another when we figured out that we COULD fly under our parent's radar and get away with some things? We did them, right? I know I did. Underage drinking, sex, cutting school, driving recklessly, staying out all night, mischief, etc. We all did it at one point or another in our lives, right? Question really is then, how young is too young to open up the flood gates that make a child sink or swim on their own?

We all, as parents, can try and try and try to teach our children right from wrong. Ironically enough, ultimately it is entirely out of our hands what really happens in real life. In front of you when you are discussing sex, most if not all children will say all the right things and promise you "never ever" to do it, right? But we all know what happens when peer pressure is applied too. The same thing that happens sometimes when the parents are out of sight.....children do what they think is "cool" or what they think their friends think is "cool".

See now why I have gray hairs and have high blood pressure????? Try having to sit and think about all this about your own child. It's not easy.
