[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think y’all are being needlessly tough on OP/her daughter. The amount of energy it takes to be a top high school student at a top school (especially in an intense area like DCUM-land!) is immense. One’s entire identity is wrapped up in being a good student and striving for the best. The sum of a full school day, extracurriculars, homework, basic self care, etc. is more intense — and involves more competing priorities — than most other busy periods in ones life. OP’s daughter probably realized she worked to the point of deteriorating her QOL. She has a right to be frustrated with the situation even if the outcome is objectively fantastic. [/quote] It is very unhealthy to have your “whole identity” wrapped up in one thing. Those are the type of people who kill themselves when the one thing goes south. Maybe this will teach healthy balance.[/quote]
