[quote=Anonymous]I suspect it's a self-selective group, but the phone culture had made it harder for some kids. One of the benefits of having a mom who did the whole golden child/scapegoat is that as the scapegoat, to survive I was good at making friends (maybe too much of a people-pleaser and chameleon) because I yearned for connection, a sense of belonging and some feeling of family. I almost wonder if now that we are more psychologically savy and people get therapy when they need to, kids are being raised in more loving homes and so it takes longer to adjust to college. Some of my friends with truly loving parents took longer to adjust to college and missed a lot at first. The good news is they adjusted and they continued to have strong relationships with their parents.[/quote]
