DeltAlum, You think You can teach Your Kids until You are blue in the face but never really know them!

I agree with the fact that 18 year old people are presumed to be Adults but, are they. Their Brain is Still growing, well, I never figured out when the brain does not still grow.

Kids leave the Nest and parental I told You to do it this way. They are on their own for the first time and Know They Know Best.

We have all gone through this stage havent We? Hell, I was in a poor family money wise, but good parents never the less and worked starting at a very young age. Never cut grass or threw newspapers, I mean a job.

Todays give me generation have a lot less direction than we did in the 40-50s than the 80-90s.

At 18 when I went to College, I thought I was grown up and worked hard to do what I was taught, but there are a lot of distractions when away from home and those that say A No!

While We have Young Semi Adults who join GLOs, the idea is for the Older Students (19-21) to give the direction that is need ed. If it is not there, then they do get into trouble and We suddenly have the Risk Management Problems that We as Greeks Have!
