I don’t think we really disagree, NP. We just have very different life experiences.

You mention the age of 14; when I was about that age, my Grandmother developed a health condition that required a certain amount of nursing in the home; and I took it on - at 14.

Her need for this care lasted for about 18 years. My experiences caring for her during that time, especially the last year, when she was dying, was the most educational experience I ever had in my life, in every sense. And it prepared and fortified me for everything else that has ever come along in my life so far. I have always been grateful that I was there, able to do it and learn from it.

It meant a lot to her, too. She didn’t want to be cared for by strangers, or eventually die in some nursing home.

People have different kinds of lives; and they find value in different ways of living and learning.

My best to you.

No, we really don't disagree, or rather, not all that much!

There are different kinds of learning, different lives, and whilst once CAN empathize with and yes even understand another's experience/s, unless you actually have been to boarding school, you really won't understand it. But the one thing I do know, for sure, is that it can be THE best preparer for college and to maybe a lesser extent, young adult life. Most become responsible/more responsible and you're not going to turn into a snowflake...you learn to cope; well, at least that used to be the case.

But as I keep saying, it's NOT for everyone!

OTOH...it sure would have kept the H-A girls out of "partying" every weekend and during the week!

There are all sorts of ways to become a Man or a Woman. I knew boys who got drafted, or enlisted and spent time on ships, submarines; medics who came home without legs - who said the same thing:

One learns to cope ;-)

G'Nite!

There are all kinds of learning and different ways to learn some of the same lessons; however, some of that is apples and oranges. I was only talking about the differences between schooling.

Good night....pleasant dreams.
