[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend just brought her freshman son home after several FT made her feel something was off. After a night in his own bed, he confessed feeling so overwhelmed that he had suicidal ideation. He graduated from a highly regarded 6-12 private school with straight As all seven years. Right now? They are focusing on stabilizing his mental health. But at some point, they will need to decide whether to pull the plug on just this semester or the university altogether.[/quote]

Thank God they read the tea leaves correctly, and the boy was willing to come home.

I wish people would bear these stories in mind when they obsess over GPA's, try to twist their kid to take the perfect EC's, all so they can drive around with a bumper sticker that will impress the neighbors.

It is just NOT that important people. You have to convince your children that you love who they are, not that they can be rehabilitated into something worthwhile IF their school's USNWR ranking is high enough.

This is not about the pandemic, though many of you may seek comfort in that belief.
