So i dont know, i think my values i've gotten indirectly, my parents are good people and i don't hate them...they're far from my best friends but they're good people..and i've inherited good values.

That's another issues... values are different between people and cultures. I consider my parents' values to be silly, primitive, and for the most part pathetic. I do know some parents however, that are setting very bad examples for their children. A really close friend of mine has a father who drinks, smokes cigaretts and cigars, and supposedly smokes pot. If it wasn't for her boyfriend, I think that she, at 17, would be enguled in that filth as well.

People are different, you can't say that underage sex is wrong, that drinking is evil, or that not doing any of the above makes you a wuss. People believe many different things, and what I think shows a quality person is how they hold up to their morals. I know somebody who smokes, drinks, and does drugs, and she claims that she hates doing all that but isn't able to resist. I have absolutely no respect for her. On the other hand, there are people who both do and don't do drugs, people who sleep around and who are virgins, who I have the upmost respect for because they stand firmly by their morales.

Should parents be involved in childrens' lives? No, if my parents had control over me I'd be a pathetic little Christian fuck.
