Since I am so new to the board and can only reply I will begin by thanking Cool Guy for leading me to this site and providing so much help. Aqua and all others who are praying and helping by posting flyers, my husband and I can never thank you enough. Prayer is the most important thing. Our son is at a rebellious age. He is instilled with God/family/country values and seems to be striking back as he will not abide by the standards we demand and expect in our home. We do not turn our heads to his drug usage. He is not allowed to just roam. He has an age appropriate curfew. Decent grades and effort in school is required. Disrespect of parents and authority figures will not be tolerated. He seeks the company of kids with parents who really don't seem to give a rat's behind where their kids are and what they're doing. These parents ignore and will not return my calls, do not answer door or say they don't know him when they certainly do. The more I search, the more I discover a large group of American citizens who contribute to the decline of our country by aiding and abetting minors, turning their heads to their own children's activities, and basically just not caring by instilling no values and having the "aw give im a smoke, beer and a girly mag it ain't hurtin' nuthin'" attitude. These people's influence have led him to the conclusion that we are just too strict and oppressive compared to the Jerry Springer lifestyles of the company he seeks. This angers and frightens me. Sorry for the rant. Just wanted to introduce myself and thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Sincerely and God Bless, Lyrica
