[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chasing status is a lot more competitive now too, further heightening anxiety. Apartments cost more. Ivy League acceptance rates are trending towards low single digit percentage points. [b]Tons of bragging on social media about how your life is perfect. [/b] These parents are taking the same ambition that let them make law firm partner and applying it to parenting and social lives. [/quote] This is why the pressure is so high. I hardly use social media and so felt very little pressure. However, I have noticed that my friends who say they are active on SM will do anything to get that prestige. It’s all brag, brag, brag with some people. [/quote]
