> [@nearwildheaven](#): > > Parallellines, by what do you mean by “issues”? Did she not pick up cues and ended up with the wrong boys, or nobody at all, or was she promiscuous? I’m curious. To be honest, all of the above, although, not at the same time of course. I guess trying to be chivalrous from a near-stranger from 30 years ago is unneeded though. At first, she was very standoffish with everyone, but especially boys. Since she was attractive, she drew a lot of attention, but didn’t seem to know what to do with it. A few months later, she ended bouncing back and forth between several of the more aggressive and confident guys (who were pushy) but (the guys) had a very bad reputation in the school. And that did not make her popular with many of the girls. By the end of the year, she was a lot more confident, and a lot more worldly, and seemed to have embraced the 80s “slutty is cool” ethos that was big on MTV and the like. Apparently (from her brother, who I was closer with as a fellow nerdy, book carrying semi-outcast) she was in a state of constant tension with her folks, who wanted her to be ‘free’ but also not to ruin her chances at a good school and future. And for all my concerns, she stayed in the top 5% of the school the whole time, so for all I know it was a part of a surface rebellion. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-any-politically-liberal-parents-homeschool-their-children/965248)._
