This. Online gaming didn't exist for me as a kid.

It’s a “failure to launch.” I believe the problem lies at home.

Hmm... doesn't seem to be an issue where I live. Utah is weird I guess.

OP is almost a direct quote from my dad in 1974 as he compared my 16-yr old buddies to his 16 yr-old buddies in 1955

You have a fantastic memory!

I took it as a challenge/insult... and those things kinda stick

So you had 16 yr old buddies with no interest in getting a license???

5.5 hour football practices every day?!?! Sounds like some horrible coaching.

School started today and I may get involved if something doesn't change

Are they hitting in both practices? As a QB, he should be protected from most of

Belboz wrote that his son is an RB, which means he's likely taking a lot of hits

My bad. For some reason I read that as QB.

Brutal, just like you said. I can't believe the coaches want(ed) him to go to...

PoolBoy

I'm starting to lean toward wishing he didn't even play

Belboz

8/17/22 11:43am

Isn't it crazy how much fun it is to watch your kids play and have fun.

Noooooo way. Pick a team. That's way too much potential for injuries. 1-He's

Online gaming doesn't require a driver's license.

Teens live their lives on their phones. They don't need to physically travel to socialize.
