should teens be able to drink ?

[mrisha]

I don't think teens should be able to drink.  It is illegal but there are idiots out there called parents who think its ok for their teens to drink so long as its at home.  Can you believe these idiots.  This is one of the reasons teens grow up to be adult alcoholics.

Absolutely not, 100 percent no is my answer to that question. NO they should not be aloud to drink. Parents are supposed to be good role models if they break the law, that only tells the kid it is okay to break all types of laws, no excuses that they are drinking in front of you, you can see what they are doing, they will do this a few times, till they go out and don't want you involved anymore, and drink with their friends, and it esculates, how would these parents like to get that phone call at 1 am, that their son or daughter was killed in a dwi accident, either themself driving or one of the many friends they started drinking with because the parent said it was okay. Gosh, some people have no right being parents.

No way teens should not drink alcoholic beverages!

18-Yes only because we can go to war and are considered adults at 18 and why can't adults drink?
 Younger than 18? Of course not.

The parents that say.. "I'd rather my kids drink under my own roof than out there somewhere" are white trash.

As a teacher who has seen the effects of alcohol abuse on some of my teenage students, my answer to this question is a big fat NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cynybiny68]

NO WAY!  They have a hard enough time trying to find out who they are, they don't need alcohol to cloud their minds as well.

It is a touchy topic because I have a 20 year old son in the military, he can not drink but he can fight for his country, I know that this is a touchy topic but I would like to hear other opinions.....what do you think?

HELL TO THE NO!!!

I don't agree with Teens drinking because of our addictive personality. Some of us will turn drinking into a problem in later years. It also may mess up our growth because we are still developing.
