Hmm also likely means less sex and relationships which may be contributing to sadness[/quote]

By relationships do you only mean dating? [b]I personally prefer that my child not date [/b]or be sexually active as a teen. I can’t prevent it of course, but I would prefer that. [/quote]

No dating at all?

I said “prefer.” Of course they will likely date and I won’t be a roadblock to that. But I’d still prefer if they didn’t in high school. [/quote]

I didn’t date as a teen.  I had crushes, went to dances with boys, and was otherwise really busy.  My parents were definitely against me dating in high school and I don’t think it was an unreasonable expectation.[/quote]

You went to dances with boys but you didn't date? Isn't that....a date?

I'm tired of parents being blamed for everything TBH. My parents and their friends had it so easy! [/quote]
