Wife Mommy: I have no idea. I’d logically think so, if they’re seen as inevitable. However, the people who don’t think these things are inevitable will logically not see it that way.
I feel like a lot of this is a matter of “out of sight, out of mind.” Teens are hanging out in pizza stores- let’s ban that! Now the pizza stores aren’t hangouts- problem solved. Who cares if now they’re at Dunkin Donuts or 7Eleven- we haven’t seen them there yet.
NO TEEN is perfectly innocent. Were you guys, when you were kids? It could just be a teeny niggling rebellious streak, even if you didn’t act on it, but different kids just express it in different ways. And no, it doesn’t necessarily cause OTDness.
