[QUOTE="ck1, post: 91013, member: 3767"] Where we used to live (eastern Long Island), drugs and alcohol were at every party and there were parties every weekend. difficult child was only a freshman, but he was always invited. At that time, he was still too afraid to take part in it, but he did like to go to the parties for a little while when he had the opportunity. Where we live now, I don't think drugs and drinking are huge, but I know it happens, unfortunately, it's everywhere. My difficult child hasn't gone to our public school since February 2006, but he may be returning soon (I'm very nervous) but I will not tolerate drinking or drugs. I am very strict about teaching difficult child that the laws apply to everyone and not just when it's convenient. I think in some ways, it depends on the kid. For my difficult child, if you let him do it once, it sets a precedent and will start the slippery slope, I'm afraid. For others, if they're responsible in other areas, I may not complain too much. Can't say for sure though since I don't have a kid like that! [/QUOTE]
