[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 711426, member: 1550"] I still think its very dangerous. It puzzles me. We try to keep them alive...i grew up in a rich suburb of Chicago.ost of the kids had brand new cars. I didnt. It drove an old Bel Aire that was our only car lol. Remember, I never drank or used drugs. I dont think its wrong to let kids who are responsible drive our cars. Im not sure we should give into cultural peer pressure if we dont want our kids to give intonpeer pressure. Many of our insecure kids start using drugs at first to fit into the "rebellious misfit" crowd. My daughter did. At any rate, i did not mean to criticize..just to express how baffled I am by the car thing. I cut my daughters car access off after her first accident. I thought everyone would. I didnt want, if anything, to feel mega guilt if I let her drive my car high and she killed herself or somebody else. I did not want to feel in any way responsible. She had three accidents on drugs, two driving friends cars after we took her keys. Since being sober for twelve years she has not had one accident. Being clearheaded makes a difference, i guess.
