[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 169241, member: 1697"] My son is not in school, LOL, I Homeschool him, and he goes around his group of friends mostly on say Satrudays, late afternoon, and the parents are all outside over there, cooking on grill, informal block party most of the time, the whole block there by my sons friend - parents and kids are out playing basketball, or if weather is bad, the adults plus kids play videogames as a large group- very little phone calls or texts between the kids at all. Most of the weekdays the kids there are very busy in activities and my son stays up at nite with my husband (his daddy) and my son sleeps till late. Dureing school year, my son sees even less of his female friend and his other friends. Maybe every other week, they get together, as a large group. he and his friends do not call or text at all dureing school week, everyone is so busy with schoolwork. easy child and her boyfriend both drive, both have cell phones, and now are inseperable. BUT they both work full time and both begin college in fall, and had many classes together at school. PCs grades stayed the same and her boyfriend grades went up after they paired off, becuz easy child is very serious about her education and she forces boyfriend to study more, LOL. difficult child had not had academics at school since grade 7 or so, becuz her ed bd class did not do academics.....and they did not get grades, so she had no grades to have drop. <sigh> and this past year difficult child seriously and heavy ignores most input etc from nearly everyone, male or female. The male in her life the last 6 or so years, well, sad to say, they never did anything that even remotely resembled "dateing" And neither she nor her male drive at all. BUT difficult children female friends a couple years ago did more to text and call nonstop and help distract difficult child from responsibilities etc than any male did. Dateing AND "friendships" whether with same sex or opposite sex can both be disruptive, can both cause kids to find trouble etc, and large groups can influence a kid every bit as much as intimate one on one relationships. Maybe even more so. Sadly, my easy child had a middle school experience where the school counselor actually strongly encouraged some very not so good relationships, includeing my easy child. <sigh> AND, weird as it might sound, some kids now have things going- "friends with benefits" and some kids are experimenting with sex with people they do not necessarily have any desire to pair off with.....simply exactly specifically for the sex part.
