No am the type who sees a young school girl begging money from strangers to buy sweets,I stop her and explain to her in details why its wrong to do so.
I don't care about the parent at this point.

The parent will play her role in the house but once the kid is out in public,she/he becomes my responsibility as well.
Sorry if I sound too old fashioned but that's what.

I admit, the world probably need people like you but unfortunatel people are trending my way.... I don't care how other people live their lifes as long as it doesn't affect me!

It does in the long run.There are things I really care less about so I stick to my world.
But again I realise that humans just like animals are social beings and its some sort of an ecosystem out there.
What I do on earth will eventually affect you positively or negatively whether you like it or not.
We raise up irresponsible fellows and they will destroy/mismanage the very things we work hard to build today.
That is how.

@essyk you're portraying this in a manner to suggest that the content of "spiked" bottle is responsible for top-3 position.

Do your math. How many of those who indulge early actually make it in life. It's a small percentage. Accidents, diseases, missing exams etc

Look at @rollout for example he's now a single father (I assume from his post Rollout), approaching 30, with no wife, due to his escapades, probably under the influence of the bottle.

What we are saying is, at least avoid this thing and focus in what you're supposed to be doing at every stage of your life:

1. Baby - drink porridge & tit ti the mammary gland
2. Childhood - study and play
3. Teenage - study, play and make friends
4. Adulthood - career, make money, marry and enjoy sex legally and safely
5. Old age - be a once happy old man/woman with no peer pressure
6. Die (don't risk this at stage (2))

NOTE: @essyk no pun intended Not talking
@alphdoti-thats quite a sober view (pun intended). Equally disgusting are women who drink and/or smoke during pregnancy and lactation,what moral authority will they later have to advice their children on alcohols harmful effect. You will also find that these irresponsible parents are the ones who drink alcohol in front of their children and give them to sip. These children will later experiment and pick up the habit-kids are very impressionable.

Just teach your kids well. There was alcohol freely accessible in our house and none of us touched it. Kama mtoto wako ni mkora, look at how you raised them.
In a place where thought is abandoned, freedom can become a curse.

In primary school i had a friend who used to do the same...carry spiked drinks to school,he even evolved into carrying kibuku at that time it was in a plastic bottle...and he was extremely bright and from a well to do family...fast forward to some few year back when I met him...a drug addict taking the real heavy stuff.heroin,coke etc sold almost everything at their home.lets face it the earlier your kid starts doing this funny stuff the easier it will be him or her to become a mess...
Its a free willed society do your own things but make sure your ready to face the consequences...

Alcohol was freely available in our homestead since I was a toddler.

I did take a sip when I was about seven years old and did not like the taste. I have a sweet tooth.

I am a teetotaler today. My brothers and sisters are moderate drinkers though.

In view of the above, consumption and abuse of alcohol in my experience, is a personal choice no matter how one is brought up.

Cannabis sativa. Now that is a story for another thread.

As a parent,do your best to bring up your kid the best way possible.Do not compare yourself with your child when it comes to morals and character,they will grow up to be their own beings.Keep alcohol away from kids and talk to them about alcohol abuse,so that if they end up drunkards whether bright in school or not they will not blame you for the misgivings that may arise due to their alcoholism.With threads like this we should not be vague about it ,if not us our children and friends and others will be affected by your child if they end up a drunkard(drug abuse)in the future.It may even affect you directly.
Thats my view.
