And we want Flynn to be able to go out and have fun with his friends and begin that journey of independence.
At 15, he's three years away from being an adult and leaving our home entirely.
That doesn't just happen when he turns 18.
That's a gradual process of growth and development.
So for us, I think in our family, depending on...

These are things that can have a really serious impact and negative impact on people's lives.
But oftentimes they're not talked about or people don't know enough about them and schools aren't, you know, spending time educating young people about these risks.
