You know something, I had excellent parents too, who were very particular about who I was with, where I was at, and when I'd be home. And to be honest, I had enough RESPECT for my parents not to break their rules. Teens who find it necessary to rely on their "resourcefulness" -- IMHO -- not only disrespect their parents, but show little respect for themselves through dishonesty and deceitfulness. Any of us can call it "resourcefulness" all we want, but in actuality it's dishonesty and deceit.
