This thread has traveled over many paths, but I think it is still on topic -- how does the LC influence effect children, families.

FPO, I just have to share this experience. It's from a Young People's Conference held at a camp near Yucaipa, CA in the spring of 1985. Talk about young people hanging out. That's exactly what we were doing in mid-afternoon. There was about 3-4 of us high school brothers from my locality with one of the brothers talking to a sister and several of her friends from a Orange County locality. Suddenly a serving brother comes running over and promptly admonishes us for talking to one another.
I'm on board for dissauding high schoolers from dating, but from not talking? How could they get used to social interaction without having to shudder in condemnation should this brother or that sister start speaking to her or him.
Maybe times have changed how the young people are taken care of? Maybe it's ok for young people of opposite genders to communicate without bizarre overreactions in 2008? In 1985, it wasn't.
