Well...my teens have acted out by experimenting in destructive behavior.....

As a teenager, I acted out because of my fathers corrupt behavior in the absence of any moral training by my mother. Of course a corrupt parent is bound to have some influence on children, but that influence can be greatly curtailed if the sane parent takes a strong stance and is firm in her moral guidance. Waywards teach children that anything is permissable to seek personal "happiness." In the absence of moral training, the WS will give the child immoral training.

It is lies and adultery that poison children, not the truth.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena.." Theodore Roosevelt
