I have 17 year old boy/girl twins. Both have pretty active social lives, go to parties, football games, etc. They are both athletes, which I think helps because they have a kind of built in friend group. My daughter has had a steady boyfriend since the summer, and he's on the track team with her. My son dates pretty heavily, but hasn't really locked one down. He's going out of state for college, and has no interest in getting tied down. He makes fun of his buddy that's a freshman in college and still with his high school girlfriend (who is still in High School). He also does a fair amount of gaming, but it's social for him. He's been on varsity since his freshman year and as a result, almost all of his friends are in college away from home. All those kids that are now scattered from Kansas to the panhandle, to South Texas still get together a couple evenings a week and play games for a few hours. I do worry some about his weed consumption...mainly because weed is so much stronger than when we were buying 3 joints for $5 at the car wash.
