I appreciate the time and thought that you've put into this discussion (although I think this thread wasn't started with the intention of it turning one, LOL), but clearly, parents, teachers, ministers, babysitters, the whole 9 yards of people who care about young people, or anybody, can talk and lecture and 'inform' and spout their opinions all day and all night, but in the end, the individual will decide his or her own fate. The decisions are the individual's to make. Sometimes, sad but true. No matter who says what about it...it can be a horrible mistake or intentional choice.
