[quote=Anonymous]OP - I'm a white parent but one of my son's closest friends at Wilson was AA. He was the only AA friend in the group, but he had been with these kids for a long time, and they stuck together at Wilson. They did not drift apart. I think so much depends on your DS and peer group, as many others have said. I will say that for my son it was eye-awakening to have a close AA friend and to be aware of all the issues all the time that this friend has to deal with just because he's AA. This was especially true in regards to hanging out outside of school, driving late at night, NEVER wanting to be in the wrong place. It's not easy. His AA friend had parents that sound like you who kept on top of him and his friends, and that helps immeasurably. No answer for you, just my observation. [/quote]
