Kids will do what kids will do. A shortage of influencers/good information didn’t stop me from making questionable decisions.
Maybe some of the kids on the fence about it wouldn’t get involved so early, but the determined ones are better off for it.
It sure beats brewing up random Raws off goggle in the bathroom, loaded on pills. I’ll say that much.
We need to give people all the tools to make the decisions they want. Good or bad, that’s on them. And I’m not a big fan of 18 being the hard line for accountability. Lots of “children” under that age are more grown than several people I met in my young adult years.
The only person they have to blame is themselves if something goes wrong. We’ve had the internet for decades now. Information is at our fingertips. Blame the schools for not teaching them how to read, research and reason, not Instagramers trying to make a buck.
