[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn’t the “don’t want to brag” thing a bit lame? Whether or not it’s on Instagram, kids at the high school already know it, and that’s supposedly who the non-posters are trying to “protect.” And, what does it mean to “protect” your lower-achieving peers? Do you think they can’t handle it? That itself is kinda a put down. Also, eventually the kid is going to put it on their LinkedIn. Please tell your kid not to be one of those people who say they go to college in Boston. Just own it. [/quote]

"Not bragging" isn't about protecting other people, it's about being a confident person who doesn't need others to be aware of your accomplishments in order to feel good about them. Linked in has a professional purpose; Instagram in high school does not.

Also, I thought the Boston/Harvard people usually did that so they could avoid having a tedious conversation about their school ("Harvard?! Oh, wow, you must be sooo smart! Or are your parents rich? harharhar") Though I agree the people who mention Boston repeatedly fishing for you to ask are annoying.[/quote]
