No, you are the one trying to change the discussion. I merely pointed out what parents and teachers and others were doing. I did not say they were "the threat"
And yet you said:
"The major problem with your position is that you (incorrectly) believe that adults are pushing unsuspecting kids into choices that would not have occurred to them."
I am following the evidence and logic. You are not. You tried to push your bogus assertion about brains and then quickly ran away from that when I easily demonstrated the absurdity of it.
