Parents are Idiots about Teen Boozing and Drugging, Claims Study
News flash: Parents are stupid! And they’re liars! At least, according to a new report from Columbia University, they suffer from delusions of innocence when it comes to their kids and they parties they attend. The study claims that 80% of all parents believe their kids attends dry parties - while 50% of the teens say that their parties are awash in booze and reefer. Even more disturbing: 99% of parents claim they would never alllow alcohol at parties they supervise. But 28% of their kids called "liar liar pants on fire" on that one, saying they’ve had drink and drugs under a parent’s so-called "supervision".
Certainly, I’m in zero position to push a "Just Say No" policy. But this isn’t about "tolerance" for occasional drinking or drug use - it’s about being blind. This is how kids becoome addicted to drugs and alcohol: because their parents insist that their little Johnny "would never do such a thing". They usually don’t wise up until little Johnny’s wrapped the family Miata around a telephone poll, and tested for a 0.15 BAC.
