Excellent. This is an important form of self-advocacy: having healthy boundaries. Deciding which questions to answer and when to politely deflect, because the inquirer does not have a "need to know". smile

I totally agree with you Indigo. I actually didn't know my son was doing this until recently. I'm really proud of him that he decided what he's comfortable with-- and that does NOT include a discussion about his age or why he skipped.
