[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you ever wonder if you're worrying too much about what other people think of where your child attends up attending school?

Like in a previous thread, a parent, god forbid, worried about her child going to UVA instead of an ivy.. does anyone actually give a second thought to where someone else's kid ends up going? I wonder if we are so wrapped up in this out of some desire to impress our family and friends. [/quote]

Nope. In the past 10 years I have seen too many stressed out kids losing their life and others with major depression and barely hanging on. The common thread is these kids somehow worried that they are not enough. I am happy to hear anyone’s kid is happy. I see a common thread that those kids picked the school they wanted and are pursing something that interests them. I am also partial to hearing about schools that have spirit and are collaborative. College should be fun and not just worry about getting into med school. Any time any parent either starts to brag about HYP etc or attempt to put down a school I immediate exit the conversation.
