I have to agree with TDA on this one...somethings you have to try (at least) once in your life, like a phase you through....otherwise you would have problems in the next phases.
for example what is univ. life without drinking, some smoke and trying new stuff...If you don't do it then, you will later on in the wrong time...imo

Lawls. Good luck thinking that.

lol I'm not a drug addict anyway, so I'm all good

I don't see why I should try drugs. I don't plan on trying it now, or later.

Already in denial I see.

It's best not to take drugs if you won't be able to surpress yourself later on due to addiction, but I know my limits, other people have different limits, it's all good.

I turned out well lol Thanks to my parents hardcore teaching when I was younger.

THose who have strong morals, don't need to try those type of shit

 

[nat]

some people like trying new stuff...it's not about addiction or not...
Other people don't... no biggie

Me too I had very good teaching as a kid.
but I had curiosity towards some stuff, tried them now I know what it feels like and know that I don't need to do them anymore.

 

[◆ T.D.A ◆]

I don't take drugs. Last time I tried anything was a few odd months ago, like in the summer, with some mates.

Adamant is curious...

I'm very happy that you say this my dear natalie.

IF i were to have kids, I wouldn't let my kids touch those stuff. Its simply risky. Some have tried it, and then impulsively have become addicted to it (majority of the time). There's only a few in this world that try it once and end up never doing it again.

 

[nat]

No way adamant
(Though nothing heavy)

Flash...you won't be always there for you your kids when they are grown up, what you can do is teach them like your parents did...and they have to make their own choices.

Like I said, people have different ideas about life.

 

[The Flash]

^
Yes I know, but any proper parent would never want their kids to be a drug addict.

 

[nat]

we're not talking addiction, we're talking life experiences...I see it as part of a bigger picture; same as everything else, when you deny people something and they get exposed to it at some point..it can become disastrous.

but if people know something and accept it, then they can make a conscious choice to try or not to try.

if you're discussing against addiction then I am with you 100%...

 

[The Flash]

Or you simply can show them a video of what happened to those drug addicts. You don't need to experience drugs to know it. All you have to do is open your head to logic, and know the effects of what happens when you do it.

 

[◆ T.D.A ◆]

if you teach your kids properly, even if they try it, they'll know not to consume it regularly, getting addicted.

 

[nat]

...a video? it doesn't always work...some don't understand unless they experience on their own.

Don't forget that there are very sensitive periods in people's life when they are trying to identify themselves...(teens and young adulthood) not everyone is born with a set identity.
you can think logic and all that, but in certain moments you have to make a few *flexible* choices for a number of reasons.


Edit: today must be a strange day...I am agreeing with TDA again

 

[The Flash]

If you teach kids properly.... That doesn't mean you can teach them to do bad(illegal) things regularly. ... If they were taught properly then they wouldn't touch anything.

Excuse my language, but that is seriously one f***** up way to teach your kids.

 

[◆ T.D.A ◆]

lol indeed parents should never tell their kids to try drugs once or even offer them, but no one is telling them to.

Yes, those who have been taught poorly will try to identify themselves. Personally, I think that's a lame excuse. You don't need to try drugs to identify yourself.

It's a parents role to help their kids live their life properly. This includes supporting them, guiding them to the right path, daily teaching.

I can say this because my dad's side of family is literally messed up. Though my dad is dead, the reason why my dad passed away is because my stupid uncle was driving and he was on friken drugs.

 

[nat]

Look Mark, teach the kids all you can...smother them with love and support...right?
then you have teenage years...that's when it can go really bad or good. you are not your kid and your kid does not have your experience.

have you honestly never done anything bad? either over the top drinking or smoking anything? just once?
we're not saying make a habit of it but just know the feeling. where I studied it was OK, therefor I presume it could be a cultural thing.

edit: I see we're not getting anywhere here...guess we have to agree to disagree
edit 2: sorry for your dad, experiences like that do mess up families

No not really. I've been raised properly and in a proper environment. My parents did a good job in being a parent. They knew my early and teen years would be the most difficult. They did their job by guiding me properly throughout those years.

Ever since my dad died, I've been thanking him so much for guiding me. I'm blessed and proud that I had a dad like him. I'm just glad I didn't turn out like my stupid uncle.

Because of their teaching, I'm always supporting my brother and helping him out at all cost.
