Parents don't think the preppy kids do drugs. They look at the gothic- dressed kids.

The more often kids had dinner with their parents the less likely they were to smoke, drink and use drugs.

A lot of parents think it's a difficult subject, talking to their kids about the dangers of drugs and alcohol. They don't know what to say, when to say it and where to begin. So they end up starting too late.

Sometimes you see kids addressing issues, whether it be suicide, or drugs affecting them or their family. Sometimes the poems are a cry for help - something they can't express but they need to say. It's feelings and emotions coming out. Not just a story to inform or educate, but true emotions. The other teens can really relate to that.

This is a democracy not an anarchy. We have a system in the country to change rules. When you are on the Supreme Court, you can make that decision.

You can feel the panic in the parents' e-mails. If there is someone on the corner selling drugs, parents can take measures to protect their kids; there is something tangible. But with the Internet, they feel they have no control.
