Teenage irony at expense of my truck.

Problem is you can talk to some of these kids and they will still do whatever the heck they want regardless of the rules, they will sneak and get away with things even under the microscope of the most strict parenting.

One thing I have learned with the kids that we adopted is that they were born into a home packed full of lies and deceit and that was the way of survival for these kids, and it has been really hard to get them away from that way of thinking.
Just when we think we've got them on the right trak ....Blammo

Exactly!

Not proud of this but it's my story. I was smoking pot, getting drunk and got a girl pregnant at the age of 15/16 yrs old. Got my first DUI at the age of 16. I had excellent parents that did not drink or drug what so ever. NEVER! They told me of drugs,alcohol, and condoms,the type people you hang with, etc.... I messed up every where that could be messed up!

Its like when young people are 13-18 the cotton goes in the ears rather than in the mouth!
