[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here.  My kids have also never asked "why Larlo and not me?"  That's not how they were raised to think.[/quote]

Oh, please. It’s normal for a teenager to wonder why they weren’t picked for something. [/quote]

Nope.  Normal kids understand the randomness of elite college admissions and don't ask this.  Mine never came home and cried over a friend's or acquaintances's college acceptance that was "better" than theirs.  Maybe it's because they never knew anybody else's "stats" or college applications to the friggin' letter!  It's ODD.  [/quote]

Neither did mine. But they did cry because something they worked and wished for didn’t happen. You sound like a sociopath. [/quote]

Sure, that has happened.  But they didn't turn around and bash friggin' Larlo or Larla and paint them as less deserving.  You can be sad but that doesn't give you license to 'dis others.  That's not what well raised kids do.[/quote]
