All about the fish tacos

I always worried about my younger daughter socially. She was always very shy and preferred to just stay home alone after school to having friends come over, etc. Then she got an Iphone. So she is on Facebook and other social media constantly. I thought it would isolate her even more, but it had the complete opposite affect.

Since then she really has become a lot more social. She constantly has plans with friends, either there is a whole group here, or she goes out. I asked her about it and she said that all the kids make plans through facebook and other sites. Without it she never had any idea what was going on and how to get herself included. :o

Am I getting old or something? There is a teenage girl in my Judo class that refuses to talk to me between bouts. I'm not asking her out (yuck!) I just get bored. Am I too old to talk to? I talked to whoever when I was a teen.
Every Republic has its sins, but communism is a joke that is not funny. Get fluoride out of the water!

When you say teen do you mean early or late teens? I think that makes a difference.

Yeah I think that makes a difference. You aren't too old, she's too young.

Too young for 5 minutes of chat between bouts. That's just rude. Maybe I like talking too much.

If you think you're old then I'm ancient. I work with a bunch of kids 18-25, most of them 22. There were more during the seasonal time. Anywho, they talk about stuff I have no idea about. :lol:

Yep. She just doesn't want to be bothered and she isn't mature enough to consider your feelings or anyone elses.
