[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are doing well with our teens but I don’t find it that unbelievable that others would be “over” it by now and be ready to send them out for their 18th
Century-like apprenticeship.  Doesn’t mean parents are bad or kids are bad.  I find it interesting on this forum that the second someone has a different experience or even opinion that there is “something wrong” with them. [/quote]

X1000. So strange that all these happy people lack empathy, imagination, or compassion. [/quote]

Absolutely this.  Teens (like other humans) are different.  Some need more space, some need less space, some need more social interaction, some need less, some need to push back more or less.  Imagine that!  It doesn't mean that one was raised better than the other.  People are just different.  The people who say "My teens are perfectly happy and lovely at home because I raised them right!" are also probably the people who said "My baby sleeps through the night because I sleep trained correctly!" or "My kid eats everything because I didn't put up with picky eating!".  They have a small sample size, so they incorrectly conclude that their actions were directly responsible for a particular outcome, without recognizing potentially confounding variables at play.
