I might have chosen my words wrongly, I apologize that. I never ment hide as in "hide in shame" or "to not get caught because it's dangerous or not allowed", but more: "let it be a private matter. But know that we know, so you also know that we're cool about it ..." All I was trying to say is that if adults rather talk to their kids in a sensible way instead of getting angry, kids won't get angry back at you, and they WILL turn out to be super persons - meaning they'll go out and drink on parties and everything, knowing that they have parents at home that will help them if they end up in trouble, and won't get fucking pissed at them for _drinking_, cause that isn't a problem.

With driving cars you need skills. It takes no skill in drinking alchohol and having a good time or wanking off to some porn. With driving cars comes many REAL risks and the danger of fatally hurting other people. With alchohol you'd perhaps be able to hurt yourself, but noone really wanna do that when they drink. Most people only want to have a good time. And porn isn't dangerous. THAT'S WHY it's ok for kids to be curious about these things and actually try them out. You can't compare that with the curiousity of driving a car. If they try out a car without any knowledge about safe driving, then their stupid. Noone can argue that. But I do think that kids should learn about traffic rules and car driving at an early age. I didn't start until I was 17, cause we can't get the driver's liscence until we're 18. I honestly believe that it's much safer to put 14-15 year olds out on the road than 18 year olds! 15 year olds can be just as educated about the traffic rules and stuff, but noone acts as "tough and cool" as someone between 18 and 20. Cause then you're OLD and you've the right to do stuff, man. When you're little you actually know better. I know I did.
