[QUOTE="DDD, post: 60281, member: 35"] I was a rock and roll teen in the 50's and my parents, having already raised three, didn't go nuts like the parents who decided to ban Elvis because he moved his hips etc. Out of our six kids only one had far out music interests and he loved Bob Marley and the Rastafarians. Obviously, he also was into joints and avoiding reality. by the way, just like the others, he joined adult society eventually and is sober and productive. With easy child/difficult child he loved rap and hip/hop before most people knew it existed. He still does. I have learned to really like it too BUT I do not listen to four letter words. On the radio they are cleaned up. In the car and at home he cuts out the vularity when I am there. The music issue is directly tied in to the peer group your kid is part of..or wants to be part of. If you surround them with church activities and Christian Rock, chances are they will adapt as their social life consists of those teens. If you have a child in the band, for example, they will likely hang out with band kids. difficult children often are either drawn to the difficult child crowd or they are loners. It makes a big difference where they are socially. I wish you good luck in making the right choices for your family. Thinking about it in advance is the wise option. DDD [/QUOTE]
