The teenager in question has no social life IRL, doesn’t have ANY hobbies. Doesn’t go outside. honestly stays in their room on pc and vr headset from the minute they’ve had breakfast (at around noon) til bedtime (11/12).
very grumpy. Can’t be bothered having conversations with people and when they do, highly critical and negative. Head in phone when forced to leave house.
I know things have changed technologically since I was a teen, but it shocks me. I had a mobile, access to family pc, game console but had friends and enjoyed actually doing stuff in the real world. The teenager in question has no limits and is trusted to self regulate but fails to..doesn’t make their own food, so doesn’t eat unless someone actually calls them down for food, will occasionally make themselves a cuppa. Is this normal? Is it ok? Not my child so none of my business really but have young kids of my own and dreading their teen years if this is what lies ahead 🫣
