There are so much teen pressure nowadays. Here in Canada, our age drinking limit is 19, so we get a lot of American teens coming over for the weekends.

I meant "MADD" up there! LOL When rights of passage are changed, there is always a lag between the effect of new laws, and the complete fulfillment of the goals of the new laws. Sometimes, the goals are short circuited if resentment develops regarding new restrictions. Sometimes it is best to back off, and let the new laws do their jobs. Parents understand that, unless their son or daughter is over 18, or 21, or emancipated, they can be held responsible for the laws they break. That message should suffice. At some point the approach has to be," proceed as you see fit, and everyone else will do the same". oops!

There are laws, pushed through by MASS, that have lowered the drinking age so that drinking on prom night shouldn't be an issue. If you are drinking and under 21, you are arrested. Aren't we to the point where parents can take over this subject matter with their sons and daughters? Yes, it is good to warn kids about the dangers, but at what point do we let the laws that are in plce, do the work? I am not sure how I feel about this campaign.

I know that MADD every prom season puts out a car that was involved in a drunk driving accident and it catches my attention and makes me stop and think.
