[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 16 yo does not hang out with any kids outside of school ever.  If you ask him, he has lots of friends.  They are the ones he’s always talking to online over the computer.  It’s voice while they play a video game or do whatever on the computer.  It’s stressful for me.  It doesn’t seem to be for him.   We try to encourage him to get out or do something with kids IRL but he seems very content with his online social life and socializing in person with the family.  [/quote]

Even though I think in person is better, assuming he has these online talk sessions with classmates or at least consistent online friends and not just random ppl, this is less concerning socially. [/quote]

You are quoting me.  I understand that and I am happy he has a group he consistently talks to.  His computer friends are all kids he hasn’t met and scattered across the country.   These are the only people he considers his friends and at least we’ve verified they are actually teens.  [/quote]
