I seriously wouldn’t my kids in an environment like that.

Same. Those poor kids. It’s all about status.

Hilarious. I doubt they feel sorry about themselves.

Oh, the kids don’t feel sorry for themselves. They think they’re the shit! It’s just sad that they have to post about it to get a feeling of self-worth. If they were truly comfortable with who they are, they wouldn’t have to share it with anyone. And we all know this is true.

Lol you are trying too hard.

Lol. Nope. Just teaching my kids humility.

Laughing so hard. Thanks for the entertainment.

I will say that I initially hated the idea of those pages, but I have now come around to it. I remember in my day, people would just whisper around -- do you know where so and so got in? And people asking you directly was so painful if you got rejected. This is one way to just share that information in a way that is not in your face so you can ignore it, or check it in a private moment so you can be emotionally crushed in the privacy of your bedroom instead of in front of all the other kids.

I love it. Back when I was at prep school, schools were pretty open about their matriculation list. Then as it got harder to get into “elite” or “good” schools, they stopped publishing a list. They’ll give a general list of the schools or be pretty vague, give the top 10 schools. This way you can actually see where kids go and by seeing their sport, race, and sometimes last name, it puts context into what info schools publish.
