The number one drug problem in the U.S. is alcohol. It is no wonder when you read posters saying" kids will drink in college,so what".The biggest problem is not when a kid illegally drinks a beer. Many think that binge drinking is cool. Getting smashed is the goal.The road to alcoholism begins and the college administrators turn their backs because they do not want to lose students. These are the clowns that have been entrusted with the welfare of the students. They are failing the parents and kids involved. Of course, they cannot police every activity but the facts show that they do not even try. But hey, this is HIGHER education and they want that tuition money!
You are probably right, alcohol destroys more lives most likely than any other substance.
No one disagrees, but to say that we do not care about it and most of us think it's not a problem on college campuses, you are wrong.
This is a great topic, it began in 2005. Since that time my son also has been through the college scene and drafted, and without a doubt problems exist both scenes. And since that time, recruits are still being subjected to something that they most likely should not be, but I don't think that is going to change.
This topic is about teaching your children personal responsibility, you do your best to raise them to understand that whatever they do in their lives, good or bad, will most likely have positive or negative results. You cannot control what they do once they leave you and at 17,18 have to learn to trust they will make the right decisions.
