Question:
I have a 14-yr. old niece that says she has tasted of beer,?
and I think she may have done more than just taste it. What should I say to her?
Answers: explain to her that drinking is bad and why it is bad. tell her there is no future in becoming an alcoholic. tell her she has a bright future ahead of her and alcohol will only ruin it. i speak from experience. i am not the one who drank alcohol but it was my brother. he is an alcoholic and it has messed up his life so bad that it is not funny. he cant quit the habit and he shakes when he has withdrawls. it is better to just not start doing it so you never have to worry about quitting. good luck. it's common for teens to get into that sorta stuff... don't be surprised if she goes to parties and doesn't come back till very late. beat her tell her it is okay to have a little bit of beer, but that if she drinks a lot she will get fat and the only guys that will like her are assholes When I was 14, my uncle BOUGHT me beer. Explain the difference between tasting and over indulging. Tell her if she keeps doing this, it's more likely she'll be alcoholic when she gets older. Nothing. I'm 14 and don't have a friend that hasn't been drunk by now. I have, and I'm not doing it again because it was not fun!.... just make sure she doesn't do coke or heroin or something!! Yeah, exactly what Malilini said! no big deal all kids taste it probably before there 4 i was drunk long before 14 without my parents finding out IT'S COMMON. TAKE HER AROUND AN ALCHOLIC THAT HAS TOTALLY MESSED UP HER LIFE. MAKE HER STARE LONG AND HARD. SHE'LL GET THE PICTURE AND THEN TAKE HER AROUND A FEMALE WITH A LOT OF KIDS AND NO EDUCATION....(CATCH MY DRIFT) nothing in particular.
the sooner they experience "the forbidden fruit" the less stupid mistakes they'll make over it later on. "getting wasted" in today's li'l kiddie's society is so cool and hip because it's proclaimed as something bad and naughty which makes them go around doing it even more.
be cool about it.
"you tried it? cool. now you can be mature about it." i agree with the first guy but dont accuse her of being an alcoholic or anything like that. remind her of the risks and how vulnerable she will be if she drinks too much and how dangerous it is and tell her that you are worried about her.
I go out and i drink, not every weekend but everyone here worries about me becoming an alcoholic because my grandma was and i get so sick of hearing it. I am not an alcoholic, i dont NEED alcohol i just like going out with friends and having a good time. BUT i am over the legal drinking age..
