when i stop and think about i find exactly what you just said.
6th graders with water bottles full of vodka.
same kids are sexually active.
destructive. thiefs. rude. obnoxious. downright mean. and the list goes on.
and a big red flag with my difficult child 2 was that she was overly polite. i kid you not. 
in my world, difficult child or not, you darn well better BE polite, lol. and in my world, walk around with vodka and be sexually active at 11 would seriously, honestly, have such consequences i cant even imagine what i would do to my own kid. seriously.
and this is all in easy child world.
it does make me stop and think that life in gfgdom has its plusses too.
