• Maybe it is time to reinvent, recreate, or find something to distract them from their doldrums.
  
• Being explicit and discussing what you see happening with a high school group can help.
  
• There will be good years and bad years. Enjoy the good years, survive the bad years.
  
• Don't bemoan a hard to get along with group or wish they were like some previous group. You'll just make the situation worse.
