A good friend of mine has a kid, a junior in high school. This kid has never attended the school prom or even been on a date. Doesn't have a job. Has a driver's license, but his mom drives him everywhere. He seems to show no interest in getting a car or becoming more independent.
Near as I can tell, he just plays video games and goofs around with his phone. There is nothing wrong with the kid as far as mental or physical conditions, he just refuses to grow up. His parents are overbearing and too involved, but I think it goes beyond that.
Is this typical of the new crop of younger missionaries?
