[quote=Anonymous]Just like the shrinking middle class, there is a shrinking of teen autonomy. Parents over-schedule, demand perfect grades, and also coddle their kids at the same time. Plan their every hour and expect perfection and step in to help to achieve that. They only time they get to themselves is to hide alone and stare at screens. And you all denying sleepovers and hang-outs because a lack of sleep or potential for a drink or sex etc... are just raising anxious depressed teens who can't do anything for themselves. I find there are very few parents who are pushing socialization, autonomy, street smarts, adult independence, and genuine happiness over a "perfect" college resume. And we wonder why teens of this generation have the highest suicide and mental health issues. It's really sad [/quote]
