Thank you. Thought I was losing my mind with all these apocalyptic comments on how a sixteen year old girl dropping out of high school with a cohesive plan, and parental guidance, would suddenly be completely socially challenged and lacking any other ways to gain insights into the world.

I can have my parents as my friends, and friends my age. Is it so odd for a teenage girl to be close to the people that raised her?
