13 year old gaming habits

Son likes gaming. So far he has never made a fuss or struggled to stop and likes meeting up in person with friends - but I realise he is very young and the arguments might be yet to come. Friends will occasionally contact him to go online at 8/9 pm which I'm not keen on so close to bedtime, except occasionally during recent school holidays.

Is it the norm for teens to be gaming late into the evening?

I have a 13yo. I'd say it's normal to be asked, but it's okay to say no!

I don't have a problem with friends asking. Just wondering if I'm a bit upright. Sometimes it takes me a while to catch up with the pace of kids growing up.

My son is a little older we allow it as he sticks to a reasonable bed time and keeps up with schoolwork so as long as he stays reasonable with us we let him have more freedom
