What's with so many teenagers not being excited to get their drivers license?

The need for a car has gone way down. That's the main reason it seems.

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

They can travel the world and visit their friends, via phone, from their room.

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

ColoSpgs

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.

PoolBoy

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

Belboz

8/17/22 11:17am

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

starting scout team RB for varsity defense to pound.

Belboz

8/17/22 11:42am

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

crack

8/17/22 11:44am

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

PoolBoy

8/17/22 11:25am

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.

crack

8/17/22 11:45am

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

Same with me. It's only cost me $2500 in damages to my car so far.

When I was a teenager, Driver's Ed was offered as a class in school.

Are you in Utah? If so I had no idea that Driver's Ed isn't a class in schools

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.

All the kids in my neighborhood are excited and getting their licenses at 16.
