[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I should say I am shocked how many won’t and go immediately to worse case scenario

And we wonder why kids have so much anxiety, no street smarts, little to no common sense, and just can not handle transitioning to adulthood.

Parents never let them. The generation of be home when the street lights are on, out all day without any phones or ways to contact anyone - somehow kids 1 year away from college can’t do anything without fear mongering moms crying no way! The irony is astounding. And if you say the world was safer then you are in fact wrong and there are plenty of citations to show that.

The OP has seen these kids online on zoom/FaceTime. She can contact a few parents. Said they have a niche group which the OP’s kid can trust would know at the age of 16 or 17 if she is being catfished the last year. I mean come on.

You have to let these kids transition to adults WHILE STILL AT HOME to help them feel confident, smart, and safe, before they leave the nest at 17/18. [/quote]

So, I think actual adults would be naive morons if they flew to Boston alone to meet up with people they only met online, so, tell me why it would help a 16 year old girl grow up and be independent?

You’re confused about how to instill independence, it isn’t allowing your kids to be stupid.[/quote]
