    My kids don’t have cell phones. There are times when it would be useful, I guess, but I see no need for it. When they get to college, we’ll discuss it.

    All that time and money wasted on abstinence programs while our children need honest, open communication about sex. I consider myself a conservative...which means I want my tax money to go for stuff that actually works with teens.

    Smoking is bad for you, but some of us (I confess) still do it. I think my teens seeing me smoke has turned them against smoking – not sure why a movie would be that much more influential.

    Playing video games is fun, period. By the time kids are teenagers, they know they aren’t “killing” anyone onscreen. It’s like taking away a toy pistol from a kid and saying it’s a weapon. My opinion is it’s the parents who are responsible for school shooters, not the games the kids play.
