   Actually no. Bonding with the peer group is a step towards having there   
   own opinions. Breaking away from parents is *hard*. Some writers on   
   kults say they actually function to serve the same function. New members   
   come in, stay for a while and leave with increased independence compared   
   to when they joined.
