I'm 18 and do not drink at all. No drugs or anything. Some people do, that's fine, but this happens way too often near me.

im 18, i drink ill admit it, but im not an alcoholic, and im used to seeing crap like that so its no shock to me, every weekend i would have about 2 or 3 friends get minor in possesions from the police

 

i hear ya man, one day you're going to loook back and be like me




people my age are driving beat up minvans with fat women and tons of kids by random guys bearly making it by


here I sit with 3 newer supercharged trucks, a turbo'd '65 F-250 and a couple classic show trucks and trans am that's legal for use on the street (one day it will be again though)


my daughter has everything she needs plus some, I have good credit, I own my own house and they look at me like I owe them something, shame on me for working my rear off and providing for my family (my wife also works so it helps)...



back in highschool there was this girl I really liked but we broke up because I went it to work every chance I had for some overtime, now she's got 3 kids, doesn't know who the dad of 2 of 'em is, can't get teh dad of the first one to pay her child support and she emails me out of the blue asking if I'm single...


WTF




SORRY NO HOT DOG AND HALLWAY EXPERIENCE WANTED HERE






my bad sorry for the short rant...

 

your better off not drinkin and drugging, i did both at that age, but its all changed since then and fortunately i survived it, now a days i think of all the money i blew and just scratch my head. keep your priorities right and you'll get alot in life. and i love that sig ya got there

 

Drinking is fine, drugs are another matter.

 

i can agree with that but the sad part is when some people drink they let the alcohol tell them they are okay to drive and we know what happens from there

 

I used to do all of that stuff when I was 14 up until around when I was 19. Then I realized it's time to grow up and put all of that behind me.

 

Its all in the parents upbringing of their kids..... Parents nowadays are kids themselves!

 

I think i will end up being a lot like you Jerame. I work for what I want. Going to college to get my degree. I have an idea of what I wan to do with my life and it scares me to see how some of these kids are running thier lives. It doesn't bother me if people do that stuff, but it sure as heck ain't my cup of tea It just doesn't interest me. My drug is my truck. I always think about it. I log onto facebook and I see kids i graduated with having parties with sooo many people there who get slammed. I think a recent one I saw the parents were home

 

Exactly! It's disgusting to watch.

 

Sounds like you have parents that come from a different generation like my parents but im alot older then 18!!!!

 

unfortunately, thats true! when i was in HS i had a buddy who his parents bought him booze for him to party with. even when a friend from HS died driving drunk, she still bought him beer and **** whenever friends would come to the house.

 

Yeah, they are more careful and more alert than most that I see. They have those things called brains that I think many parents now are born without More old fashioned compared to ones nowadays like you say

 

Wow, now that is bad judgment. I hate to see stuff like that

 

as a parent of 3 daughters i know what its like and mine are all fine the youngest is 15 going on 16 and isn't even allowed to use the word boyfreind so alcohol is definately out of the question
