We shouldn't be to hard on the kids, there are parents (ADULTS)that do the same thing. They are only doing what they see their parents and other adults do.

I remember doing these very same things when i was a kid, i think we have carried this teen drinking thig a bit over the wall,, its going to happen no matter what you do, relax enjoy life,, teens drink once in a while,, maybe some will learn from it, those that dont will find somthing else to ruin thier lives anyway

Why is everything blamed on parents? These are high school kids, they made this decision themselves. Granted kids do watch their parents and other adults and parents should be help responsible but I can't believe I just read that you said we shouldn't be too hard on the kids! They are soon to be adults themselves, they need to start learning personal responsibility.

I should also add to my previous post that I agree with Lila that adults should be checked too. They have concession stands, many sporting venues never allow outside beverages.

Being a responsible person and being held accountable for your own actions. What a novel concept, you don't suppose it'll catch on do you?

ksjosh82 I was being sarchastic. What point I was trying to say and it didn't come across to good was that if the adults/parents are also doing this, they should pay for their wrong doing just like the kids do. If the kids see that the adults are only made to dispose of their drink, they are thinking they should get the same punishment. Even though the adult SHOULD be charged with open container. But then again, it's who you know.......

Sorry I didn't word it better

They shold have checked some of the adults also. I know of a couple of parents that do the same thing and have been doing it all year. I have sitten by them before.

This upsets you, so you choose to tell the INTERNET?

You should have told people that could do something about it.
