[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 113406, member: 1991"] Sara, that sounds close to hikikomori, I do think this is exaggerated by the tendency of teens to switch body clocks to a night-day cycle instead of day-night. Hikikomori is much more extreme, perhaps because of the social overlay you get in Japan, with parents enabling it far more, due to their fear of being shamed by it getting known that they have such a child under their roof. I do think a part of it is also their determination to control their own environment, to the extent that they then begin to insist that the rest of the household should revolve around them. If you want/need to reclaim what should be community property/space, you need to have the clout to do so, some way of enforcing your orders. Marg [/QUOTE]
