I don’t know if the language will offend. I’m in a bar having a drink and I rarely drink so who knows?
My son 17 is in his last year of high school. He’s a smart kid. He’s very politically motivated. He’s very active in a high schoolers for Palestine group.
He went out last night until 10.45 with this group despite needing to be on site at school for 9. They count attendance even though he just has study periods and 1 formal class .
He doesn’t understand that I am concerned for his safety at night, or the impact on his schooling. This is a weekly thing. He turns 18 in June.
AIBU: you should be grateful he’s not doing drugs and hanging around a park.
YANBU: his results will impact the rest of his life and it’s a safety issue to be wandering the streets at 10.30 in a Black Flag t shirt.
