[quote=Anonymous]I’m the poster who has one “fast” tee and one very much not “fast” and I believe it’s very personality driven as well as friendship driven.

However, now that my fast teen is 20, I will say he started doing things (sex, weed, drinking) rather young )and yes we had boundaries, were involved, good parents) but it didn’t progress, if anything, it regressed a bit as he got older.

Contrast this to my other teen, who is a homebody, has only a few close friends, has never been to a party, and I’m not sure I’d say this teen is totally prepared for college social scene.  But I have been thankful for less worry with this one.

One last thought, as I look at the friends my faster teen had in high school, they were good kids that were almost to a tee, the youngest in their families.  I do think that matters.  But not one of them has any issues, all at great schools and doing well.  There’s one I worry about as the dad is a pretty bad alcoholic, but hopeful he will be ok even though he (the kid) drinks.  My dad was a terrible alcoholic, I drank, but I’m fine as I was very aware and self disciples post college.
