[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's normal, part of soiling the nest. And yes to the drugs and alcohol explanation. These kids might not have been that great genuine friends with each other and it was a proximity-based friendship. Since you mentioned that many of them are going to the same college, it could also be that they want to distance themselves and get some breathing room so that they can make new friends at college and not go in with the expectation of keeping a high school friend group. Whatever the reason, it's hard for your daughter, but it will soon be over. Keep her busy and focused on the future.[/quote] Sorry I read that wrong-- they're mostly NOT going off to the same college. But in cases where even just two friends are going to the same college, I've seen this assertive distancing thing happen.[/quote]
