FAsanti, you are right that parents cannot be blamed for each and everything, but they are greatly responsible for the actions of little kids and teenagers. After that everyone develops their own personality due to influences of society, the environment, education, exposure, etc. Also, the postive or negative influence of a parent on a young child greatly determines how that child reacts to certain things when he/she grows up. Of course we cannot blame that it's entirely the parents fault if a teenager choses to have premarital sex but maybe the parents did not transfer the value of responsibility that may be lacking in the kid's mind when he/she was getting carried away. But again, that is just my opinion.
