As a father of 8, what I know is: Life happens fast, but not so fast as you cant do anything about it.
You need to take a look at things happenning around you and in the past and make your decisions from those facts. The education system and society at large has failed the family and the youth of America. Two students recently died at a local college. Both instances involved alcohol. When will we learn? When will we accept the responsibility of raising people to be responsible adults, instead of raising them to be "themselves". From a Judeo Christian perspective, that is nuts! We are all born sinners, we all have come short of the glory of God. Will we really find the path to responsibility on our own? Of course not. From a non Christian perspective, are you nuts? You give a bunch of kids their first oppurtunity to abuse alcohol with absolutely no supervision, expectations, or understanding of the consequences and then are surprised when someone dies. WOW, never saw that coming. The push to make everyone "find themselves" is a push to the destruction of or society and our youth. Just like the failed policies of the educational system of the '70's (single open classrooms, self paced initiatives, etc.), this to is destroying a generation of young people.
