Parenting

Too many parents don't take the time to set limits and enforce them, get to know their children's friends and their families, or pay attention to signs that their child is in trouble.
I'm sure many "rents" would agree with you.

Not to discredit your hard work, but I've known parents that try their darndest to do everything right, everything like you said and advocate, yet their kids still become bad. Bad seeds. Bad brains (not the rock groups). Other kids grow up in the worst of circumstances and end up ethically sound and sexually healthy. It's probably a blend of nurture and nature, rather than one or the other.
