[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's also not how my kids use it - "striver" is not just high achieving, but high achieving at the expense of others. It's intend to convey that the culture/person is opportunistic, fake, cutthroat, and status-oriented to the exclusion of other values. Examples of "striver" behavior include befriending or dating people because they or their parents can hook you up with internships, clubs, or influential people. This is why kids are so cagey about where they are applying to college - at certain high schools, other students will call college admissions offices and spread disinformation about others in an effort to sabotage.[/quote] I am pretty sure you don’t understand the term. The one you described is psychopath, not a striver.[/quote]
