Statistics show that by the age of 11 most guys have had their first drink of alcohol, and for girls it was the age of 13. That right there says there’s a problem in drinking. But the worst part about it is that most of the supply is from the parents, so now something is being done about it.
Now parents are being prosecuted for letting their children drink. Such as Elisa Kelly of Charlottesville VA, got 27 months in jail. For hosting a party for her teenage son, there are many things like this going on but not matter how many laws you put in place you will never be able to stop it. There will always be those few who do it anyway. But I do think that if they start to really crack down on the parents it will help with the problem. That’s why I think that the parents should be held responsible for the children’s actions. In the bible it says, “Raise a child in the way of truth and he will not leave it” this is saying that if you raise your kid’s right they will have respect for things like that. And not only all that but the long term effects it has, I mean like lose of brain cells and you can’t get those back unlike normal cells they don’t reproduce. The effect on your kidneys and many other parts of the body is just outrageous. But I do think that parents could stop their children, one of the most used sayings is, “Monkey see Monkey do” so what do you expect if kids see their parents drinking. And the ages for children wanting to be just like their parents are about 10-13 but by the time they have done if a few times they are addicted and the might want to stop but can’t. S my advice would be stop making it and parents stop drinking it but if you are going to don’t do it around your kids.
