[quote=Anonymous]I hear where she is coming from even if I can see form an adult’s perspective that it’s ridiculous. My kids’ older friends fall into gap camps: very conformist girls who fit a specific mold of attractiveness that’s defined by the girls and families with the most money and privilege at their school, and everyone else. I know one girl who is beautiful but doesn’t fit that mold, and isn’t posting her decision to go to Stanford. Posting where you’re going to school already exposes you to a lot of people’s judgement and scrutiny, and your DD probably accurately perceives that for some reason she’ll be vulnerable if she posts her school choice along with her photo. She might be very pretty and she might even know it, but nothing can make her pretty in the way that she thinks “counts” right now if that’s now how she looks. It sucks but college is better.[/quote]
