> I don't know if it's fair to say that every teenager who is not immune to that is not accepting personal responsibility. To give it some perspective, in 1942 there were 18 year-olds fighting in the war. The people then were under tremendous pressure. They had enormous responsibilities and enormous independence, compared to today. What changed? Are we supposed to expect that at 18, she's ready to live on her own, sleep with anyone she chooses, join the military, but she's still a child, and can't muster the wits or guts to fight peer pressure. I, for one, have higher standards. It's demeaning (IMHO) to deny her own responsibility in her actions. What do you think of her opinion now? She's clearly older, maybe in her thirties. And she's still denying all personal responsibility for her actions. When I was 18 I did stupid things, and I'm adult enough to admit they were stupid things. Why can't she make the same admission?
