[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Open the front door and say go out. See you in four hours. They will find friends in the neighborhood. My mother never found me a friend. The neighborhood was full of kids and they played outside. I know today’s hermit generation is reluctant to venture outside. Half of it has been caused by helicopter parents who monitor the kids every movement and activity.[/quote]

Completely agree! I'm so glad someone else said it.[/quote]

16 year olds don't go out to a park to find friends to play with.[/quote]

The pp who wrote that much be 70+
No teen goes out for 4 hours a day and finds local friends, unless they find the local weed dealer.

OP, in the DC metro, parents sign their tweens and teens up for day camps, where they can meet fellow tweens and teens with similar interests. That's where all their classmates are right now, if they aren't away on vacation. That's where they will meet friends. Can be anything: sports camps, programming and computer camps, theater camps, etc...

I think all the posters under 65 are either outside today or on vacation. [/quote]

I was thinking these posters have little kids and are reflecting on their own youth ~30 years ago.[/quote]
