[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 681849, member: 18958"] Whether it is acceptable or the norm or not, to me, is not the issue. The issue is the danger, the consequences, and what we say to them when we as if say to them: Your completing college is more important to me than the fact that I know that you are behaving in a way that could destroy your life, or someone else's, could kill you. But I will look the other way because completing college is more important. How can we send this message? What is more important than their lives and their holding their own safety and dignity and the safety of others, as valuable? I will say it: I drank and used a very little bit of drugs in college. But I was an idiot. And I paid one hundred percent of my living costs, college, everything. What could anybody say? But nobody cared. I wish somebody had. COPA [/QUOTE]
