[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 213090, member: 1233"] I am not as horrified by the alcohol issue as others here. My parents allowed us to taste whatever they were drinking, and if we asked we could drink at home - a SMALL glass of whatever. I can remember my bro asking for and being allowed to drink a beer at about age 14, I can't remember asking or drinking at home until well after I was married. I just wasn't (and am not) into drinking. BUT I DO see the idea behind it - getting people to know their limit and when to drink and when to stop. Is there a high degree of alcoholism in Denmark? I just don't know. Anyway, most whatever we try to get our teens to do doesn't work - they do the opposite. But who are her friends and what do they do for fun? She may just not be mature enough to feel comfortable at those parties. I can remember being at parties and feeling very very uncomfortable because drinking or pot usage was going on. Maybe if you host a party for her friends and their parents in your home? Or a party after some event she enjoys? Just throwing out ideas. [/QUOTE]
