[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought the random (not involved in the scandal) kids they featured crying/shocked about not getting into Stanford for social media were really grim. Disappointment is of course understandable but they really seemed surprised and devastated about not getting something that is famously a long shot even for the most excellent students. Their parents and counselors did them a disservice by not making sure they understood that. [/quote]

Disagree strongly. Teenagers are emotional. They are allowed to care. They are allowed to dream, even get their hopes up a little.

A reaction, that is filmed, does not mean the student was devastated for days/weeks/months on end. In fact, if you watch those videos, often they reappear days or even hours later, completely fine, waxing philosophical.[/quote]

Agree to disagree. I have a kid this age. These kids were unusually histrionic (and now millions of people have seen them carrying in-poor judgement  even for a teen.) [/quote]
