Re: Police: Multiple Victims in South Carolina church shooting [W:224]
I am not so worried about the alone time, but the fact that parents need to know their kids well enough to know what is actually going on with their kids.
Sometimes it's hard to see these things man. My parents thought something was wrong with me because when some kids would go outside to play, I'd stay indoors with my sketchbooks. I'd say I hated the way the sun hit my cheeks, but they thought I was slightly antisocial. I just really enjoyed coloring and drawing. As I grew older, I figured out a way to balance it all and they toned down but it's not always that easy to notice. The kid may have been in his room playing video games or reading and they just thought he was the intellectual type or the geeky kid. So they might be a little clueless but sometimes it's just that people get the wrong idea.
