The above is another reason that it's better for the kids to ask questions, rather than the parents.
I thought the OP said the daughter was unhappy about her lack of social life during hs, not necessarily the mom. I think this is a case where daughter is about to make a rush gaffe by being overly negative and mom is truly looking for "back up" for the advice she has already given daughter.

When dealing with 17-18 year olds, you often need someone to say, "No Mom or Dad, you are not crazy."
