Why do the “parents not know their kids”? The truth. What is the truth? What is living the truth? No, what is living YOUR truth? Is it subject to your scrutiny only? If it’s generic and cliche to say “be yourself”, well true enough your true self could be a liar. So be a liar? The parents know the lie, they don’t know their kids. It’s a community and world of kids living in fakes and falsehood and parents stuck with the responsibility of provision. Is there blame to be shared between peer pressure and responsibility? the truth.
