Unreg,
I learned a long time ago that if you leave young people alone without boundaries trouble will follow. Learning from ones own mistakes will happen anyway but structure and rules are key to mitigating, as much as possible the trappings of today’s culture.
Nevertheless, you grew up in the culture you describe and turned out fine. Therefore, you know two young people that made it to adulthood and presumably well adjusted. I could list hundreds more from where I sit.
