Oh so do I, Blazey. Parents of that mind set are one of Society's problems. You should consider, however, that not all parents are naive and it really isn't so difficult for responsible parents/grandparents to uncover evidence of the three examples you give.

Thank you for the insight into the general character of Youth. You won't appreciate my saying so but, believe it or not, as well as being a parent and a grandparent I have also been a young person; triple the experience, I think.

An acquaintance of mine, on another forum, is a lecturer at an American college. His signature says, "I am not young enough to know everything". He has a good point.
