[quote=Anonymous]I feel the same way. When I was a kid, you sort of had one thing -- there were the smart girls, the sporty girls, the popular girls, the artsy girls, and very little overlap. I was one of the smart girls, and was confident that was enough to get me into a top college.  Now it seems like every teen girl I meet is beautiful, in all AP classes, plays multiple sports at a competitive level and is in a travel chorus or something on the side!  The other day my E.S. kid said something about going to my alma mater, and I was thinking internally "Good luck!  Better start mapping the genome now!"
Hopefully these all-star children will create a wonderfully strong economy that will save the Social Security system and support me in my old age.  
And the PP that said she doesn't think there's anything new about this -- are you thirty or forty?  If you're thirty, maybe nothing new, as you were part of the "baby boom boom" as it was called.  If you're 40, then I do think it's a different ballgame for teens now.[/quote]
