[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 90892, member: 59"] How do you handle drinking with your teens and their friends? Is it as prevalent in your area as it seems to be in mine? Do your teens drink when they go to parties? It seems like so many of the kids in my difficult child's high school drink on the weekend at parties. This happened when my easy child was in the high school too but because she was never interested in those kids it wasn't an issue. There are those kids who drink and use drugs, usually at bonfires on the weekend. These are the kids living on the edge, the ones my difficult child hung with in freshmen year, the kids who don't have a lot going for them, and will probably be in trouble all their pives or at least live on the edge. Then there are those who appear to come from good homes, get good grades, have future goals, don't use drugs. They drink in basements of nice houses presumeably with the parents upstairs. The kids usually all sleepover I assume so they won't be driving while drinking. Do your teens go to these parties and do you know if they drink? How do you handle it. I'm not here to judge, I really need to check my feelings about this. Nancy [/QUOTE]
