no? not really. When I hang out with the kid I find that it is usually one on one or with their family. I know the kind of people they respect but they tend to be actual celebrities and not physically in their life. But this is a good question.
Partly I hope that is is a early/younger teen phase. The problem being they have skipped several grades and are graduating next year at 15. I know that lots of teenagers think they are the center of the universe but grow out of it. I am hoping that this is that.
My wife was one of those big fish in a little pond folks. But she always knew she was in a little pond. Kid isn't in a little pond but definitely thinks and acts like they are the only fish there. bc other kids aren't even fish to them just single celled organisms.
I probably have to step up my time with them and see if I can start helping with some empathy. fingers crossed.
