Hard drive - it's a very different world. We had to work to see porn or sneak a drink. Pot was 5% THC at best. Not now. Porn is easy to find and what young teen isn't gonna look? As for booze and drugs? Dope is stronger than ever and kids are even inhaling alcohol now!
It's a very different world with far more opportunity for failure. Don't think little Johnny or Suzy are all that straight up starched tight. We all know of the 'good kid' getting mixed up in some stuff they can't pull out of. I'm not gonna fool myself. I put drug testing kits on my mantle. Every kid that comes in the house sees it. I'm not gonna test them but they know that I plan on testing my HS son randomly. They tease him from time to te but he hasn't lost any friends over it. In fact it just may serve him as an out 'Dude, I would love a hit but my old man does randoms on my shyt and if caught I loose my phone and what not, he's such a dik.'
By the way, when I did the test kit thing he just laughed. He does ridiculous things but I am 99% sure he will never do anything in HS. College may be an entirely different matter.
