[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is anyone else's teen scared about going to college? My teen is 13 (almost 14) and really nervous about college. She says she wants to go to a college near us so she can still live with us and be close to us at all times, I found her googling things like "is college similar to high school" and "what colleges are the most like high school" and she seems generally unhappy about that fact that she will be an adult in 4 years. [/quote]

4 years is an eternity for a kid that age. Why is she even thinking about college that young??[/quote]

She thinks 4 years is short, she already started worrying in 7th grade. I remember when she was in 7th grade, she used to tell me "I feel so bad for the 8th graders having to go to high school next year" And then in 8th grade, she was trying to savor the year but said it went by way to quickly. She has had trouble adjusting to high school so she (and I) are also worried about how she will adjust to college. College is a big deal to her because she has anxiety and wants to make sure she gets a "good" job and has a "good" life and she just wants everything to be perfect.[/quote]
