How todays teenagers do nothing but drink, drugs, one night stands, assualt and harrassment, it still could be prevented. Only for parents that recorgnized what their children needed. It is just like quitting smoking, you have to want to stop it and realize what you need to do it.

     If you continue to read this section you may realize that this is mostly original. (unlike the majority of my writings which are 100% original) I do not support sheltering. It does not work. For example, cuss words. You can shelter you children by not cussing around them but the biggest influence to anyone is their freind. It is guarunteed that your children will hear cuss words or around the drugs and ciggarette smoke. What will make it worse for him is if you always give bad criticism for it to him/her. Your childs influences are not 100% friends. It also depends on your decisions on top of that as well and we will get into that more later. I mean are u smoking around you child? Are you trying to hide it from them? Well that will not work but you must realize that even it you quit before they are born there is still a chance that they will grow up smoking because of their friends. It is not even thses examples that you role a part of. These are just the main ones.

     One thing that many may not put into consideration is if you promote doing something. It we promote being a player or drinking it is inevitable trying to stop them from that as well. Once they begin to do even this one thing then they chose certain friends who do this as well. Now these friends may do other things as well such as drugs and extreme violence which might influence you child as well. Many parents realize this through attitude and personality so they try to keep their child away from them. There is no way to do this. (If you try to keep your child away from one certain child they are going to go driectly towards them only out of rebelliousness actions.)You see, not everyone sticks to this type of group or has a group which has complete opposites in them but, the typical "click" has all members who are the same. Now that is true to many subjects. Perheps smoking. Even if you do not smoke at all and you criticise it so bad to them, they will smoke just to be against you.

     Many people may agree with me or have already thought about this and applied this to their parenting tactics. However, there are many other subjects that may aid you parenting when you finally think that there is no other way to help. All hope is lost. You must realize that I am still a "typical" child. Old enough to have a child but, You may not see me as being experienced enough. I am not in this saying that I could do better than you or anything along those lines. I have been through much that has matured this even more and I am simply trying to aid you because I want to end my peoples corrution worse than anything in the world.
