Having been both a father (2 boys) and a boy (years ago), I always marvel that the standards my parents had for me as a ten year old and me for my children when they were ten are apparently miles above the standards that adults now have for Barry Bonds when he was 35.

Peer pressure....apparently that is something we teach our 10 year olds to resist, but allow 35 year olds to succumb to
Cheating.....Are you 10? Stop it! Are you 35, ok, no problem.
Lying....only for people who are adults. You kids should know better!
Punishment....Penalties, like Trix, are for kids.

Poor wistful, angelic Barry Bonds, forced to take drugs against his will, and lie and cheat against his will, and now standing before us with tearful eyes. Treat him like an adult and let him go. He can't be expected to have the wisdom and maturity of a child.
