[quote=Anonymous]Look at it from her perspective: we adults have turned the high school experience into an episode of the Hunger Games in the sense that one slip up (er, C on a report card) and it's all over. No good college will want you! And she has to put in four years' worth of flawless performance, quarter after quarter after quarter. It matters now, because we adults have decided it does. That would exhaust anyone, and make any kid anxious. How am I not going to step on a landmine? What if a class is harder than I expected? What if I'm getting a C in something? We told our kids to do the best that they can, we realize that high school can feel like a slog because it is a slog. But there is a lot of good stuff waiting on the other side of it. We're fine with you getting Bs and we're here to help. We're your behind the scenes support crew, so lean on us if you need to talk. We're proud of you, we love you.[/quote]
