[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 680704, member: 1550"] Nlj I was thinking the same thing. You cant force a teen to play sports, be in the band, anything. Plus jumper was a serious athlete but other not as serious athletes did use drugs and get into trouble. Heck some serious athletes did. It is a myth that this immunes kids from drugs. Many dont even start drugs until after high school, even in college. Even if good students. There comes a time when we cant do anything. We can be there but many teens and up are more apt to talk honestly to peers than us. in my opinion we have to just do our best. Some kids have no interest in activities. My daughter was one and she refused to go or would go and not pay attention. There is no magic answer which is why we are not to blame if things go bad. Some things are out of our control. If there were pat solutions we would all do them and there would be no substance abusers. [/QUOTE]
