[quote=Anonymous]This is not my experience at all. We live in Alexandria and our kids who are ages 13-16 ride bikes to friends’ houses, take the city bus home often from school or sports and occasionally metro into DC with friends. This is true of their entire friend groups. They take an occasional uber when logistics don’t work and once when one was at a party and didn’t like what was going down (and we praised the hell out of him because we thought it was a mature and safe choice). We habe friends in DC and their kids are metroing all over. So I don’t know what’s going on where you live OP, but it’s not applicable everywhere in the dmv for sure. Compared to my friends in other parts of the country (mostly more suburban), our kids are much more independent and getting themselves around [/quote]
