So, I would add that the "mid-life crisis" phenomenon has a younger sibling. It goes by the name of college. Many a good teenager, when leaving home for the first time to live with other students (including the opposite sex) of his age group, tend to lose it a little (or a lot). No more parents advising them not to do that ("that" can be any number of things) means that they are more likely to go and do just that. If they don't do all that, they must be some kind of prude. <br><br>However, college is a great place to assert the "noble lie." Leave home if you must (everyone has to sometime), but remember to pray, attend Mass, drink responsibly, and above all else (this is important for all young males), remember that every girl is somebody's daughter. Keep up the gentlemanly act. Even if it IS just an act, it's at least gentlemanly.Captain Awesomehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05605878993331611980noreply@blogger.com
