[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean this both on here and IRL. My child is a senior in high school and there are kids and parents saying really mean things to their classmates about what college they're going to. I hope you realize that there are a number of reasons why someone may be going to a ''bad'' college: their parents have no college savings for them (regardless of the parents income), the parents are professors or staff at the college the kid is going to, the kid has a family tradition of going to that college, the kid has medical issues that require staying within a certain radius from home, the kid is majoring in something where the school matters very little (e.g. nursing or elementary education), the school had a very niche program the student is interested in, or maybe the student is just an okay student. And as for the last point, that does not make them a bad PERSON. Understand that not every child has a burning desire to make a gazillion bucks, either.

For a confident child none of this needs to be explained, not sorry if you think that's mean.[/quote]

“not sorry”? Are you 15? As adults you would realize that being gratuitously mean is immature and unwarranted.[/quote]

I know a set of parents like this - thought their kid was the golden child - then their kid was suddenly shunned from their friend group and it knocked the parents down a peg.  It's pathetic that that is what it took.[/quote]
