Do your teens hangout with friends?

My oldest kid loves to hang out with friends and I love when they come over.
My second kid also loves to hang out but is younger and has not yet made a lot of friends.

Did not click on the link, but I think this generation is more social than mine because even when my kids are not physically hanging out they are gaming together while in a group call at the same time. 🤣

No. His teachers say he has plenty of kids he hangs out and is friendly with at school, but they only very occasionally see him on a weekend. I'm guessing they consider him a friend, but not a close one.

I have two teens. One (extrovert) hangs out with friends all the time. The other (introvert) rarely does.

not on school nights
i don’t let my 15 YO do large group hangouts at the moment bc i found out they sneak alcohol 🥃 which is a no go for this momma until i know my teen can stand up to peer pressure and hopefully make good decisions

Yes. Often.

No, mine does go to other homes, except for a special occasion/party. However, they do hang out after school for a bit, either getting coffee, food or studying.

* Does not

I think she will when she is able to get around without me driving her though. She does club sports on the weekend also.

both of my teens sometimes do, but they will also go an entire weekend staying at home.

Yes. Lots. The balance is hard but we make it work.

DD's friends that are more extroverted, and have no ECs hang out a lot all the time, including school days. DD who is less outgoing hangs out when she has days off, and time on her hands. So once a week, maybe once every other week. I don't think this has changed much because of phone usage.
