[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you sound like a great aunt, and reaching out via text (and even Facetime) is fine. I get teens and college kids may not communicate in the same way we do, but a simple response to a text shouldn't be a burden for your nieces and nephews. It's really just a matter of being polite, even if they don't feel particularly close. Since it sounds like three of the four are more responsive, I'm wondering if your niece could be depressed or going through a difficult time. You mentioned she isn't really talking with your parents either. Is that new or unusual behavior?[/quote]

It's actually the opposite! The nephew who is warmest is the most depression prone of the four. He's very close to my parents as well. 
The niece who is least responsive is the most outgoing, confident and popular of all the kids. Of course, that doesn't mean that she can't have issues I'm unaware of, but the other kids tease her about being a social queen and having all the boys after her, having tons of followers on social media and and not following anyone back, and so on.
