That's what's wrong. I believe that the media is causing this HUGE dramatic fear in families that drugs and weapons are way more common now than in any previous generation. Yes, there are tons of teens that do drugs. No more so than in any previous generations, however. There may be more violence, but who is supposed to be the role model when you never have a chance to talk to your parents? Maybe if you were around for your children more you wouldn't have to worry about drugs and violence. Teens should expect to have some sort of privacy from you rummaging around in their rooms while they are at school, just as you would expect them not to dig through your bedroom while you're at work. Believe me, talking to your kids about this stuff has a way better chance at preventing this kind of stuff from happening in the first place. Work with them, they'll work with you. Work against them, they will rebel.
