It has become more difficult to raise a child

I remember when I had a fight with a boarding school years back. My son did smoke and at the time our so-called parliament suggested to raise the agelimit for tobacco to 18, which would have meant that I should had driven to the boarding school which was rather remotely located a lot of times.

I was lucky to have him back before the politicians decided to remove this freedom from our teenagers.

However they didn't stop there. Now they are looking at the alcohol our children consume. What is their point? Do they want us to integrate and become real Danes or is it just another excuse to toughend up against immigrants. The only way we can get native Danes to open up is to drink beer or wine with them. The same goes for our children. They will forever be known as the foreigners if they don't drink with their peers.

In many towns groups of parents arrange bag-parties for teenagers. It is a secure party-environment where the teens can enjoy themselves with alcohol but without any greater risk.

Those parent groups are under fire right now. The police wants more money from our politicians and it demands crimes committed. By disallowing the parties and suggesting that the teenagers might party with various youth gangs it is certain that a raise in juvenile crime is waiting just around the corner.
