13 Who's Fault Is It Anyways?

It is tragic to think that we lose so many loved ones to the hands of intoxicated people. The bad choices of some can lead to the death of the innocent. So what is the origin of this problem. Is there a place that we can look to find one of the roots to this problem? How about teen drinking problems?

Today, more and more parents are falling into legal trouble because of these teen drinking problems. Social host laws are put into action to stop these parties from happening by targeting the parents. In my opinion, this is solving half of a math equation and leaving the rest to find the answer itself. Laws of any kind only encourage those rebellious ones. Plus, if parents are prosecuted and not the children, then the children will feel that there actions have no consequences.

I don't understand this question very well; however, I do believe that consequences arouse the awareness of the common public. When more and more of the evils of this epidemic are revealed, then more people will do what they can to stop it all.

My title says it all! "Who's fault is if anyways?" Some parents are to get all of the punishment for their deliberate allowance of such activities even if they just bought the booz or partied with their teens. I take my strongest stand in this. If these little "grown up" teens think they are old enough to drink then they should be able to get the punishment of adults who can drink and cause just as much damage!

When drinking is alowed in the home, parents are succumbing to the wishes of their children for fear of what young ones can now do. Lazy parents also resort to this method as a way to occupy their offspring. It gives the adult an out so they don't have to work. This creates a a character of laziness in the youth and one really bad habit: Drinking alcohol which makes an alcoholic.

I have, by no means, any wise words in my young years; however, I would like to say that characters form in the earliest years of one to three. The best way to prevent bad behavior is to create an obedient and wise character in the yound child. Teaching the ill effects of drinking and showing them the joys of "clean" fun. For those who have grown children, there is less that can be done. You can let them see the consequences of their actions. Let them learn the hard way. Tell them they have no place to live if they make these choices and then you hope for the best.

This subject really makes me sad because this addiciton causes horrible results and yet more and more people keep joining in this death club. I wish the solution would reveal itself if it exists. So for now, lets do what we can to prevent tragidies by prevent teen drinking parties in every way that our life role allows.
