[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 589106, member: 14557"] I think it is - and always has been. Thing is, at least there I live, could of course be different in NA but i doubt it, statistically going to college is the best way to prevent future substance abuse issues. And also in my own experience while kids party a lot while in college or university, most do calm down after it and those years are mostly just nice memories. And when I said that it has always been that, I kind of believe that. I have had an opportunity to read some letters my great(add few greats)granddad wrote during his university years closer to 200 years ago. Letters to his brother tell quite a story of drinking, partying and who**houses. And true to the generations before and after him, letters to his mom tell quite a different story :winking: Of course we can assume he was a difficult child, after all, he is my ancestor and he ended up dying for neurosyphilis in the end (really horrible way to die by the way), but that was so much later he most likely caught syphilis years and years after his university days. And what I know about history, he certainly wasn't only university kid engaging drinking, partying and unprotected sex in those times. [/QUOTE]
