The best teacher has always been experience through trial and error. Do something really stupid and you might not get to make that mistake again...
The government and bad parents are the 2 major problems. It is bad enough that the government is trying to make a law for everything to protect everyone but they're BOTH doing more harm than good. Some of the BEST lessons in life come from our mistakes. Let kids make mistakes! Guide them when you can but you absolutely cannot do what you said above.Any woman I have ever dated has always stood by this mantra while allowing their little heathens to continue growing. The only thing they ever learn is mom will pay to get me out of this. mom will pay the hospital bills, the lawyer's fees, the restitution, etc...or get mom's boyfriend to bail them out of whatever mess, knowing mom will "work it out in trade" later
