Yes, I have a teenage son and teenage stepchildren...

They need to know how the real world operates and know the consequences for their actions. You take care of it at home, they'll probably do it again at the very next chance. At this age, being so close to finishing high school, they don't need to be at risk of teen pregnancy it exposed to alcohol at an early age...

I agree with like 2/3's if his post. NOT the whole thing....

Underaged drinking can lead to MUCH bigger problems. You know this. And to thinj that some was allowed ti to to prom. Smh

70%? I'm sure that number is inflated. Where is the source for that number? I'll wait... Why wouldn't you allow police to be involved? Have you ever seen 'beyond scared straight'? Scare the heck out of them so they don't think about doing it again! And there shouldn't be a problem at home had the right parental guidance been instilled. Like I said, I had a vast amount of childhood friends and close associates and non of them were drinkers...

No, not fishing at all. Where us your mind at? Do YOU care to enlighten me?

I can honestly say that myself or my group if friends didn't drink when we were kids...

It is scandalous. There were adults present that were probably in on this. And now they all refuse to cooperate. TVC... Hippy, do you really not see the problem with this?

Just because Lumberton had the same issue makes it right and ok to downplay teenagers? I wouldn't expect you to agree with this.

I didn't say anything about a board...

^^^^^^^^ This.

No cooperation? Avoiding contact attempts by local media? Still allowing kids to go to prom? Something is fishy here.

Yea, Hmmmm.

LMBO!

Lol

...on a side note, these problems ALSO was going on BEFORE Dr. Thomas was here.

VERY interesting notion...

Good explanation, TVC and Bandkid. Lol

Kinda woosy after the poisonous dart was shot.

in the pasture, dead?

I wonder how long the dead horse will be beaten?

Puff puff... B)

I'll just sit back and watch the entire think and hopefully it all ends well. Jag in the headlights? Lol. Not a chance. It's all business as usual when Ozen and Central hooks up.

Ok, I get where you're going now. You know, I've done a little research in those TEA officials myself... Let's just sat a few if them, if you look hard enough had a not so decent past involving some shady activity...

Hmmm... Interesting... My question still wasn't answered, but its cool. I guess I'll take the wait and see approach. Yes, I'm a Central guy, but I too am about the kids, which is why I asked the question. I have about a handful of close relatives that are students @ Ozen now.
