[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 553878, member: 1550"] Suzir made an excellent point. I think A LOT depends on the person's temperament. My oldest daughter was dreamy, creative and a non-conformist...and a risk taker. In spite of never seeing her dad or me even drinking and in spite our talks with her, she did drugs anyway. I don't think we could have stopped her. She had a rebel's personality...fortunately she also had common sense in there somewhere. She DID quit. But that was after trying almost everything... My younger daughter is sixteen and a little goofy, but she is very level-headed. To her cigarettes, drinking and drugs are not worth it. She likes sports and wants to stay healthy and also does not like being in trouble. She is not at all a risk taker and she tends to look down at teens who get into trouble. I would never say "don't try", but what a child does as a teen and older has a lot more to do with who her friends are and if he/she is a risktaker/rebel than what we tell them. JMO. [/QUOTE]
