I've seen parents raise their kids perfectly to the T. Did everything right with their upbringing and their kids still overdosed and died or drove drunk and died. Bad decisions based on the child's decision dosent make the parent at fault.
Why would a kid need to turn to drugs or alcohol if they had loving parents who raised them well?
The guy has Somalian level IQ (or is a troll, tough to tell) — just look at all his responses in this thread, and then go through his comment history. It’s honestly sad, the level of self-righteousness, while claiming to be Christian and then passing such judgement and accusations onto others that he doesn’t even know. He accuses others of having no love, but his entire comment history here shows he’s full of hate. Projection at its finest, and mods should swiftly deport
All it takes is one bad decision at a party. I've seen it happen real time. I've never taken a drug in my life and have seen it all, wasn't my thing. But I've seen good kids get caught up in the moment and it's all over.
You don’t think there are kids who are raised well by two parents who turn to drugs? I’m happy that your ignorance has turned out well for you and your family. Others aren’t so lucky.
He’s either a concern troll or generally retarded. Sadly, karma is gonna kick his ass and I pray for his (current or future potential children) when they end up addicted or w/ some other struggle and he has to learn first hand that upbringing doesn’t dictate who and when addiction hits
I don’t know, but we do. I was addicted to heroin for 4 years late teens early 20s. I’m in 30S now, Ivy League graduate, good job, fiancée, huge loving family, and both parents that gave my brother and I everything and were loving, amazing and fairly strict. My brother is as straight edge as it gets, and an MD. I took a different path for a short period, and it was no fault of my parents in any way
It does - what an incredibly ignorant take. My personal experience is more than enough for me to know it to be a fact. Add in that I have multiple degrees specifically in this area, thousands of hours researching addiction and public health, and even more hours working directly with other addicts and compiling statistical data analyses into this very topic, and I can state with objective fact that your assertion that nobody with good parents ever turns to drugs is one of the most laughably and hilariously retarded subjective statements I’ve ever heard. Karma usually sends people with these views children that end up addicted despite their great parenting, and I pray you or your loved ones never have to learn this fact the hard way
I’m not defined by a few years of struggle and bad choices, and my success, caring family, great job, multiple degrees from top schools graduating with a 3.8, volunteering in my community, the list goes on, are far more reflective of my parents, my upbringing, and myself
Edit - and honestly, after reading this and knowing how incredible my parents are and what an amazing upbringing I had: eat shit you disgusting piece of garbage. You deserve far worse than some triggering words for telling me (who you don’t know) that my parents (who you don’t know) aren’t good parents. I’d knock your teeth out if I ever had the pleasure of meeting your dumb as rocks retarded ass. And I never speak this way and it’s totally out of character, but you’re an utter piece of shit — not for your ignorant views, but for accusing my parents of being bad parents.

You have no love.

What makes them good kids?

No, it doesn't happen.

Amazing parents, but you turn to heroin? Doesn't happen.

You have no love in your heart. Did you learn how to be angry from your parents too?
