“National surveys show that teens who believe their parents would strongly disapprove of them using substances were less likely to try them than their peers.” [Darleen Click]
Too many parents have doubts of their influence on their children … The report, from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), says nearly one in 10 parents (9.1%) said they did not talk to their kids ages 12 through 17 about the dangers of using alcohol, tobacco or other drugs in the past year. […] National surveys show that teens who believe their parents would strongly disapprove

“If the reporter stays very still and very quiet long enough, he might be able to catch them grooming one another.” [Darleen Click]

If any of the online GOP mouthpieces noticed me anymore, what I’m about to write might be controversial
