RE: for the college bound
I didn't mean for it to sound like I was blaming you for attacking anyone. I didn't think you were attacking anyone, but your statement made it sound like you were generalizing teens as a whole. You said that you were not about to beleive that anyone on here has never drank or tried a drug. That's a generalization. I didn't really take too much offence to it, I just wanted you to know that not everyone makes poor decisions. I completely understand that you were trying to look out for everyone, and I appreciate it. For those who make poor decisions, it's a good thing to know.

RE: for the college bound
I wasn't trying to argue, if you go back and read what I wrote, that was pretty much an apaulogy. I'll break it down;
I understand you were trying to help.
I interprited it differently than you meant it to be.
I stated how I felt on the subject of teen drinking/drugging.
I said I appreciated the warning.
I said it was a good thing to know, just in case.
No where did i try to make it into an argument, I actually tried to apaulogize. Also, if you go back to my initial post you'll see that I said i was sorry for what happened to that person you were close to.
In the simplest form: I GET WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO SAY.
