I was A1 crazy as a teen. From about 15 onwards I was all for the wild times...by 16 I was a regular in the pub and attending raves shortly afterwards in warehouses and all that came along with that.
DH was the same.
Our teens are 17 and 13...both are very cautious, very well behaved.
The older one....she and her bestie are getting ready for NYE which will be spent in another friend's house with a few bottles of champagne.
Their other friends who they used to be close to are all "into pills and MDMA" and it's off putting to DD and her friends...they don't smoke weed...whereas most of their other mates do and their parents do too...all very out in the open.
DD and her mates would NEVER try to get served in a bar or pub...we're in Australia and there are plenty in the city where they could but they just wouldn't dare.
Is it common that if you yourself were a wild child, your kids won't be? DH and I have always spoken honestly to the DC about drugs/alcohol and the effects and risks.
But we don't actually drink ourselves or take anything any more...unlike some of our mates who do sometimes.
