[quote=Anonymous]One of my son’s old classmates is still obsessed to this day with the school that his best friend was accepted to, but that rejected him. He ended up at a perfectly fine Catholic HS that is a better fit. The other school is very competitive and academically rigorous and this kid is not the best student and would most likely struggle. A semester has passed and this kid cannot let go of the school that rejected him! Instead of embracing his new school and new friends, he tags along with his best friend to his school’s sporting events and even wears that school’s spirit wear! It isn’t doing harm but is just…awkward. Maybe he hopes to transfer to the best friend’s school, but that is not realistic. I feel that if his family would have helped him get excited about the school he was accepted to, he would be able to let go of his dream school and have a better HS experience. [/quote]
