Débora #4 – Booze

It is difficult to handle with teens with no bounds. Teenagers are having free access to booze earlier and earlier in their lives.
And thinking about it, it is easy to blame everybody. It´s posible to blame the commerce, who is supposed to ask for an ID when a teenager wants to buy a beer, for example. It´s posible to blame parents who, sometimes, have a different point of view of the concept of being a real father/mother. Being a friend of our own child it doesn´t mean that you have to be liberate, it doesn´t mean that you shouldn´t put any boundary.
Parents should have more control and check what their teenagers sons are doing with the monthly allowance they give and what kind of friends their sons have for example. If there´s a party, parents should inquire about it: Where is it? What time can I pick you up there? Give me the place´s phone number. Which father or mother of your friends that will be there? Because at these private parties there´s no control per age of the booze teenagers are consuming and sometimes even there´s an irresponsible adult together.
I have a nine month son. He´s just a baby now but from the moment I gave birth, it has afraid me how he will deal with these problems, drugs, booze, and other problems of course.
When he becomes a teenager, how he will come in contact with friends who will have free access to alcoholic drinks and above it all, how will we, as parents, guide him well through this. Parents have a penchant for doing all of their kids wishes. How we are going to deal with our son´s friends who have no bounds.
