[quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Moved back to Verizon, paying $30 more a month again. I'm totally okay with that that.

My kid is a high-achiever who has always been very mature and very observant. Yes he reads stats all the time and will even quote them. 
Yes he is bogged down with all the college apps, essays, heavy course load. I am thankful that he is open and can talk to me about what he is anxious about. 
The last thing I'd want to do is to trivialize what's important to my kid.

With regards to "a 12th grader should know better...", tell that to those women involved with Weinstein, with Cosby.. didn't they know better?

Also, even hitting closer to home, these articles:

-- These are counselors, the one that our kid is supposed to trust? The ones that we push our kids to "let the counselor get to know you so they can write you a good letter of recommendation.

BB gun in the restroom at school:

He is a lot more concerned about how the school handles guns and predatory behavior.

Yes it's easy enough to not give into media hysterics and all that (just like we do at DCUM), but when you are a kid and you 
find a gun holster in the student section of the school's football game, during a game where backpacks were not allowed...

Is that not triggering? (no pun intended here)

You think . what was "security" doing and apparently the school was only concerned with guns that can't fit into backpacks.
