[QUOTE="klmno, post: 219359, member: 3699"] Speaking as someone who was messed up herself at 17-18 yo, sometimes it is better to throw them into a life of freedom so they finally come to realize that their choices are their own and if they aren't leading them to where they want to go, only they can change them. And, instead of feeling pressured to make choices to get others' approval (which normally will lead to a defensive, rebellious, and defiant reaction), their life is their own, to set their own goals- good or bad, and their own standards to live by.
