Unfortunately today there is basically NO social inter-action.
Without sounding like an old fuddy-duddy, growing up we were always outside with our friends. playing whatever games you played in your area. But, we interacted with each other - sometimes laughing sometimes arguing. We "saw" each other and talked to each other.

Today, most kids are cooped up looking at a television - whether it be a program or a video game. When they are bored with that they take out their cell phones and either play another game or text each other. You can not develop social skills through a phone! Life isn't about if you disagree with someone - you hang up!

What to do? I don't know!!!! There is a lot of peer pressure and a lot of "parent pressure" to help kids "fit in." I would love to see kids outside playing but I believe, for the most part, those days are long gone!
