Reply #10: So what was your rationale for this prediction? [View All]

It would never have occurred to me, but in pondering your post I realized that one condition of home schooling is a great deal of "togetherness" and little opportunity for teenagers to begin a weaning away from Mommy and Daddy.

So you've got this cauldron of intense family dynamics, fueled by teen hormones run amuck that blow every emotion out of proportion, and fewer escape valves for letting off steam -- such as team sports, band, and other structured activities. You also have fewer sustained encounters with other adults, which can provide some perspective on adult thinking, without the distracting emotional ties that children have with parents.

Yup, domestice violence is not so surprising after all. Thanks for posting.
