[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 646247, member: 1550"] I agree with you 100%, HLM. Cigarette smoking doesn't always lead to even smoking pot, however very few drug users don't smoke cigarettes. I read a long time ago that risk takers, impulsive kids, and those who are defiant and don't like rules are most apt to get into drugs. Although some people really feel ALL teenagers do these things, it's not a true statistic. About half try pot and alcohol, which is "try" and not at all the same as becoming a non-functional drop out who refuses to work and drives his parents crazy and baits the law. That also means half don't even get involved in drinking or pot and I believe that too. I may not have if I hadn't had both Sonic and Jumper, but I believe it now. Jumper especially has so many friends and she will not closely associate with anyone who does anything wrong and is very disdainful of difficult children, calling them "troublemakers." She refuses to ruin her life by using drugs, drinking at all (seriously, I wouldn't be worried if she drank a glass here and there, but her friends all tell me...nope) and she is dead set on going into Criminal Justice to help young parolees. She is very good with people and can probably get through to a parolee in a cool but firm way. Enough about her. I could go on about her forever. I think she is the greatest kid who ever walked the earth. I love all my kids, but she and Sonic have my favorite personalities and value systems. Kids from broken homes are also at a higher risk. That was certainly the case in my family. I got divorced from my first hub and my daughter got into drugs. With a happy intact family, both Jumper and Sonic have not gotten into trouble. [/QUOTE]
