[quote=Anonymous]Are they in the school district same as you, or do they live somewhere else? Several national appearances and TED talks and stuff is pretty rare at eighth grade. So this is kind of weird. But anyway, good for them. OP this is a good friend, and you know nobody is perfect. I'm sure you wouldn't trade your family for theirs. Just because she has things going on that are more visibility positive doesn't mean anything. We all have our struggles and our triumphs. Just focus on your family. Honestly I don't think it's the worst thing in the world for a young teen to have a friend, or sounds like maybe just acquaintance from your daughter's perspective, like this. IMHO sometimes there's not enough examples of teens being productive. And a lot of examples of teens being completely aimless. So kids can get caught up in, oh it's no big deal that I didn't work really hard at x or y, I'm still doing much better than those kids! I'd rather them see what's possible. [/quote]
