Well, what price would you take to be bored for a half hour? How much did you offer?

  We didn't even get to discussing the amount. It was a non starter. I'm sure some amount would have worked but really my main hope was to just snap them out of it and perhaps get a little reflection from them. Didn't work.

    Were you in a parent or teacher position? Nothing those people say is good to a teenager. I know, I've been both teenager and parent. Or to put it another way, they'd rather not interact with someone who has a "right" to have an opinion on what they do and maybe even enforce it.

      Parent but it's more complicated than that. They are friends of my daughter who passed 19 months ago. So there wasn't really that dynamic you describe. I genuinely feel they were able to freely consider and laugh off my idea.
