Encouraging story about your daughter, chocoholic! Glad she’s found interests/friends that are compatible and she navigates the social scene so well.

JHS–good point–I guess it’s true you should look at the whole spectrum of young adult behavior. I suppose I’m going through a ‘culture shock’ when I learn about college life (paralleling my financial sticker shock). Partly, I guess it’s that my son is a young 16 yo junior w/a group of friends that has not (until now, that I know of) engaged in anything more than boyish mischievousness (e.g. smashing our Halloween pumpkins after Halloween).

Just can’t picture him in the young adult, wild life, let alone navigating it effectively (although he probably would). Hopefully all be okay in the end!
