I have friends in North Carolina and all their children seem to be crack addicts!

I live in the LI burbs. loaded with drugs here. I raised 3 boys in public schools(plus lots of home education as what NOT to believe in public schools)....not a drug taker in the lot. only one who will drink a beer with me. they are grown between ages 23 and 33. when kids I took them Hunting, Fishing and went to their Baseball and Soccer(yuk) games.
when I had to work on my car (I did about 75% of my own repairs even though I was no longer worked as a mechanic and was in the pharmaceutical business) the boys, whether they liked it or not were under the car with me. the lawn needed cutting? once the first one reached 12, he was doing it, and they all had there turn as lawn monitor

the oldest has a masters in mechanical engineering and works in a large engineering firm and as a professor of night classes at a SUNY school... the middle is working in pharmaceuticals and almost has his bachelors....and the youngest is working in pharmaceuticals and I finally got him back in school for at least a 2 year degree...

It doesn't take a village, it takes PARENTING.
