Wow. If you treat teenagers like the young adults that they are, and not talk down to them like children but rather give them solid information, they rise to the challenge of taking personal responsibility for their lives.

I knew so many kids that had parents that would treat them like adults..and they still made all of the stupid mistakes as the rest of us.
It's most likely a culture change. So many teenagers are becoming non-social and filling their time with the phone rather than sex.
