Search Results: he's 16

I wasn't allowed to get my license until I was 18, and I got a used car for $700. Those were the days, eh?

With it, I primarily just went to college and back, but sometimes I'd go with friends to a trampoline park, a nature park, to my friend's house (his mom stays home), or the movies.

Before 18, I was a bit jealous of the other kids who got their license at 16 and a car the same time, but when I thought of it, I really don't know what I would've done with a car before then, other than drive to and from school.

Reflecting on the behavior of others, my parents made the right choice in not allowing me to get my license, and even better that they hardly ever allowed me out of the house. So many kids are going out to do drugs, drink, vandalize people's houses, and having casual sex.

I see this kind of behavior as a huge reason why society is plummeting so quickly and the days of strict parents and church needs to come back.

I didn't see myself becoming a father, but now, I find myself in a committed relationship where she's convinced me that I can do my part in raising good children this way and hold on to hope that the future might not turn out as horribly as it appears.

I plan to get them basic phones for emergencies and heavily restrict internet use to protect them until they're old enough to be immune to the constant societal regimentation that's trying to turn them into destructive degenerates that plague society.

For driving, 18 sounds just right, but I will want to keep an eye on them as much as I can to protect them from the people who seek to prey on them and brainwash them.

I want to meet their friends and their parents and be very picky about teachers and even more strict with their boyfriend's and girlfriend's.

Do you see a huge movement of this kind of parenting as possible for the future?
