As I see it, many modern kids usually go
to parties in order to drink and smoke, thinking either this is correct when
you go out, or because if you want to be cool you have to do it. Anybody does
that despite the age difference. From my point of view, this is because people
get together with those who have bad habits such as not going to class, badly
replying to their parents… That is to say, it affects their mood and they can
change.
Years ago, it did not happen because
parents demanded high standards of their children. In those moments there were
fewer terrible fights than now, and obviously, kids started drinking much
after. In addition, they did not go out to drink, but they only were keen on
hand out with their friends outside in their spare time. Also, you could give
someone a lift somewhere without having fear if someone could appear drunk or
smoked.
Furthermore, personally speaking, I think the
behaviour is strongly influenced by the childhood, which could be happy or
unhappy. If it was unhappy, the kid could show a relax attitude and
happy-go-lucky. On the other hand, if the kid was in a clean and tidy
environment he can have more attitude to do his responsibilities.
To sum up, some tips I could give to
people are that if you want to have fun, you do not need to drink or smoke. If
you have friends who think this is important you have to say them goodbye
because they want you to drink. You would be able to find long-suffering
friends who think as you and having fun without alcohol as well. You need not
the drink to hang out.
