[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a sobering article.  I think of some of parents at my  kids 'top' private school who are constantly talking about their kids going to HYP, do or die.  I don't even want to think about what goes on behind closed doors with their kids.

I also read the comments after the article.  Though there were numerous psychological comments and one dissertation from a physician, the comment that carried the most weight with me said[b] "I have always told my girls (from middle school and beyond) there is always a way out.[/b]  You don't have to go back.  Say the word and we can change it."

Wise words.  I would also add that 'B' grades or even 'C' are  not the end of the world.  You will (not can) still be successful.[/quote]

but the parents in the article were this way too, and it didn't help. The young lady in the article clearly had that opportunity and didn't want to take it. [/quote]
According to the article, the dad talked with Madison about looking into transferring from Penn and the Lehigh coach suggested she talk to others about possibly making the transfer because "she should be happy."  30 minutes later, she was dead. [/quote]She should have been at Lehigh from the jump.  Yes, hindsight is 20/20 but maybe others can learn from this.[/quote]
