writes:How much parents are responsible for their children's actions? Are parents causing so,if their children turns to drugs? What can parents tell to themselves,if the can't change their kids' life? Is the blame on the child for such problems? If parents are proud for their children achievements, they think- I did a good job, that is my hard work ,what brought this result. But what can you say if your kids turns out bad? The same ? It must be my parenting? If it works on the positive way, does it work the same way on negative way?

I'm going to say NO! I did a lot of bad things as a young teenager and young adult. My parents were not to blame for any of this. I was acting one way around my parents, neighbors and friends, but once I left the neighborhood, I was a totally different person and quite thuggish and very rude. Peer pressure amongst my friends was extremely great....drugs...and I mean very hard drugs and alcohol were prevalant....I myself did not fall victim to the drug use aspect of this culture, but I did participate in the criminal aspect of all this. My parents were very thoughtful in all aspects of child rearing and tried to do the best that they could with 7 children. I only blame them for not teaching me about sex as I feel that they should have, but as far as everything else...I personally feel that they had done a good job.
