Hello Piotrek, Thank you for your insight as a teenager! As a mother of 2 children,I always fear if I have done a good job teaching them how to distinguish right from wrong and how to stay away from troubles as to keep themselves safe from harm.
Once children start to go to kindergarten,parents' influences on them begin to weaken... And that's when teachers' and their peers' roles become so much more important! Everyone tends to get lost one way or another when facing temptations,be it drugs,cigarettes,alcohol,sex,video games,guns or anything that we are easily addicted to... However they may turn out to be,TENDER LOVING CARE is all we need as you said! Well-done,Piotrek! We'd love to read more from you! Your way of expressing yourself in English is impressive!;) Nice weekend to you and the rest, Claire On Mar 26, 11:02 am, Piotrek_Luniewski <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > >> Q1.
