I have a son in high school who like a lot of high school boys is testing his boundaries and seeing what he can get away with. Last week was a holiday party and he decided that he was going to throw a party at a local hotel.
When the party was broken up by the police, he got a citation for being under age and under the influence of alcohol. The citation came with a pretty hefty fine for someone with no income. It also requires him to attend an alcohol awareness class over two weekends of the month.
I am glad this happened and think it will be a good experience for him. He needs to learn that there are consequences for his actions and that when you make poor decisions you will get poor results. He is really upset about the whole situation but mostly, he is embarrassed. I suggested he take an online alcohol class for privacy but also so he could start immediately.
