Re: amethia
I think there is nothing more pathetic than a person drunk out of his/her mind! I feel that one of the reason that alcohol is such a problem in the US among teens are the age-laws. Illegal things can become appealing, and kids in the US have elevated beer drinking to a cult thing -- which leads to senseless beer guzzling and car accidents! In parts of the world where there are no age requirements (for example in Greece any 12 year old can march into a supermarket and buy a bottle of Vodka) drinking is not considered as "the thing to do" by kids, and there is virtually no alcoholism amond kids. But I digress :)

Keep digressing. It's in'resting. ;P
I'm sure you're right. I think that sort of thing would also account for teenage rebellion. I can watch my brother, as he becomes a man, trying to defy the head rooster's authority, lol! No matter how you grow up, there'll be a time when you want the opposite of everything you've been raised to.
