text: Did i mention they can also make friends if schools don't make you do those activities most kids won't have friends. It's really hard to make friends but if you're seeing the same people everyday during those activities you form a bond. If you don't want your kid to have friends you can always tell them to not make any friends. But, whats the harm in making friends. They can make friends if you want them to and it'll be a lot easier to because you're close to other people.
