What on earth makes you so arrogantly sure about that? How well do you know my children, or me for that matter?

You cannot use your experience of your own children to determine how my (or anyone else's) children might behave.

Did I say I was sure? I do know people in general. A high percentage try some sort of drug before they leave the teens. Some never do. Some children will try them and never tell their parents.

Yes, you did...

Yes, a guess because most teens do experiment. I didn't say all. Yours might be immune or not, as only they might know. The problem is those who are addiction prone. Alcohol is a much bigger problem and it's tried by almost everyone, with some never letting go. Heroin, Cocaine, Nicotine, Barbiturates and Alcohol the most addictive. Doctor prescribed drugs kill more than other drugs too, yet are accepted.

Yes, a guess

No, you categorically stated that you were sure that my children have tried the drugs.

That's a way of making a guess. It doesn't mean I know your kids did drugs. Many parents don't know until years later, depending on how close of a relationship they have and if they can spot the signs or not, and if they were absent or present all the years they grew up in the house.This is from AI, but sums it up..........Yes, when someone says "I'm sure," it can absolutely be an educated guess or a confident assumption rather than objective fact. I see, like all other times, that you placed a thumbs down along with your statement, like a few others here do, which means you misunderstood but thought you were right and had to add to it.
