Great read. I called it, "collective stupidity," when my boys did stupid things when with friends but would not likely do on their own. But when our culture's highest goal is to get likes/retweets instead of aiming higher (heaven, anyone?), the quest to fit in supercedes self discipline.

Agreed, the crowd has an alluring quality. The ability to resist it when necessary requires an individual strength of character. Sounds like you were working to foster that in your boys, I hope more parents do the same. Cheers
