[quote=Anonymous]Totally depends on the kid. I have a 17 yr old boy and 16 yr old girl. Neither of them is rude or dramatic or overly emotional (in normal times anyway, the pandemic has been really difficult for DD). The thing I have found most difficult is just that 17yr old is doing the pretty typical boy thing of withdrawing from the family, doesn't want us to know anything about his life, his friends, etc. He was a very outgoing little kid and from the occasional glimpse of him with his friends he's still like that with them but he never wants to talk with us. Basically tolerates the minimal amount of interaction needed to navigate the college application process. I recall my brother being similar as a teen so I realize it will pass but I miss him and he'll be leaving home in six months.[/quote]
