Bravo. Unfortunately media pushes the idea that parents are dumb, and kids are way more on top of things and can make better choices. Most likely everybody's parents here have at least about 20 years on them, right? Wouldn't 20 years of life give you a little more experience, both in making good choices and bad, seeing the consequences of both? Sure, they may not always know what the coolest music is, but that tends to change each decade anyways. I think if kids gave their parents more respect and actually listened to some of the advice they may have for them, they could be much better off.
