Why?
Why do we have to impose our standards, our beliefs, on people who are perfectly capable of developing their own, especially if they are OUR children who we have raised to be intelligent rational thoughtful people? What gives us the right to be bosses of other people? You really think we know best?
I certainly don't. And frankly, I think young people today are way more prepared to live good lives than we ever were. Latest research indicates they are drinking less, far less likely to get into drugs, are more picky about their sexual partners and are altogether more responsible that their parents and grandparents were, so just who do we think we are laying down rules?
It is a very different world today. Let them navigate it their way. After all, they have to live with the consequences. We'll be long dead...
