Listen guys, I think we should all ease up on the armchair parenting here. We are all dealt a hand in life and you play those cards you are dealt. I happened to have a no good drunk natural father who I haven't seen since I was 5 and a sproadically hormonally unbalanced mother. You don't choose the family that you are born into and the consequences of that are out of your control. I don't know Tweed enough to know his backstory but I do know that people need criticism of something that is out of their hands like they need a hole in the head. Tweed made a mistake and we should offer guidance and not pontificating.
There's no reason to get on BRTD for having his opinion on Boss Tweed. However, I will still say what Tweed did was boneheaded and no grown adult on here should encourage his behavior in school. I know I encouraged someone on here at some point to "kick back and have a few in park before going to the club with his friends", but note that is on a weekend and not in school and of course sparingly. Look, I'm not trying to be parent here, but Tweed should know what lines to cross and which ones to avoid. Dazzleman was dead on with much of what he said before.
Figured I'd add this quote from another thread. My problem is that certain adults are encouraging Tweed to do it again. Now I'm not Dr. Phil, but guys I knew who brought alcohol into HS usually had other issues and the punishment was much more severe. There is nothing wrong with a little kegger when the folks are on vacation or chillin' in the playground with a 40 hell I know I did both. People in general should know to do this in moderation.
