I am really interested in your third point about preventing this sort of behavior. Contrary to what most parents will say, almost all teenagers are capable of this sort of behavior given the right (or wrong) sequence of events paired with peer pressure.

How do we do teach them? Not sure. But we MUST figure it out before they find themselves in situations like this.
