Just for a moment of reading, consider this. ... The way you respond to your parents and the adults around you, is the way you will be handling life as it is coming to you as you grow older. We are expecting and looking forward to you making positive changes.

Concerning the kind of world you are growing up in, and the kind of kids that you see in your life each day, here is an interesting quote:

Alan Lang, in his "Substance Abuse and Habitual Behavior" report to the National Academy of Science, identifies nine characteristics related to marijuana, alcohol and other drug use: Impulsive behavior, Difficulty in delaying gratification, Sensation seeking, Antisocial personality, Nonconformist values, Sense of alienation, Deviant behavior, Heightened feelings of stress, Little regard for goals generally valued by society.
