[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 748592, member: 4152"] That last sentence, I think holds true in the case of the acquaintance I’m speaking of. Also...as a side note...just like our adult children can and often are VERY negatively influenced by problematic friends, they can be positively influenced as well. It’s NO guarantee, but I suppose if they are living in a better neighborhood, it is a tiny bit more likely that there are more “healthier” peers to emulate or date. Often times, these kids gravitate toward the unhealthy....but I suppose any little positive is a very good thing. And a healthy love interest is potentially a great thing. I recall our son went through a bad senior year of H.S. Then he started college and was working too. He did well with work, but only so-so with his classes. He met a girl at the college who was an excellent student. Get this...suddenly he wanted straight A’s![FONT=Arial] Wow!!!!! :)Before, I’m fairly sure that was not a priority. [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
