I definitely missed a connective thought in that comment. I am not saying hard drugs are good. I am saying the movement to soft and prescription drugs is just another form of weakness.
To me, (and this will grab more downvotes), the alarming part of that data is the idea that "less fighting" is good. There are certain behaviors that I feel are good for teenagers. Teens not fighting = teens not being teens, for whatever reason that may be.
- drdeca 11y agoI don't see why teens not fighting would mean teens are "not being teens". Also what do you mean by fighting? I don't perceive 'teens' to be being particularly passive? (Though, for around 3 more months the term applies to me, so that might change my perspective.)
- underwater 11y agoSeems like survivorship bias to me. Just because kids used to fight, and turned out OK doesn't mean that fighting was a necessary part of their success.
