I think that kids being kids, they want to explore life. When you grow up with too many rules, you can tend to be more rebellious. And it just makes some young people all the more curious. Kids, as well as adults need balance in their lives. As it is, the JW kids aren't allowed to do much of anything. Everything is wrong. Music is all wrong, Dress is all wrong, cong. gatherings so strictly scrutinized, it takes all joy out of it for everyone. Yes, we do need guidelines and rules within reason. Please, by all means, use common sense when picking associates. This is all good advice. But, it seems JW kids arent't allowed to be spontaneous. Everything is TOO regulated.
