"So........who really is more cruel?"

Well, if the 13 year girl winds up with AIDS. I guess a nail in the foot may seem like a cake walk compared to a long painful excruciating death.

I'm not sugesting that nailing someones foot to the floor is the way to solve these problems, but AIDs isn't a big risk for teenagers (unless they're homo's).

there are so many other terrible, more likely things that can happen to a teenager who's allowed to run wild. Especially girls.

Thank God, my kids had manageable, albeit barely, problems.
