I have seen many 'tough love' posts on this forum and it would seem we are surrounded by saints who never sinned or made bad choices as teenagers. |

I see. So it is my duty to tackle you and risk injury to both me and you because you are an idiot and do stupid things. Is that the long and short of your thesis?
MAYBE, just MAYBE, you forgot the 3rd option. Those who have sinned, made bad choices and those who have paid for those and learned from it the hard way and now are better off. If my parents had been soft with me and let me do as I please, I wouldn't even have made it past high school and might now be in the morgue or worse.
