[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly don’t get the people who insist they have the right to demand information out of every person they meet. It’s so crazy and rude and entitled. [/quote]
Would it be too much to ask what sports teams they are on ( what if they got cut!) or if they are in the school play (what if they auditioned but didn’t get a role!)?
There are endless disappointments in life. We can’t tip toe around people all the time. Kids and some of their parents need to be able to live among questions asking basic things like “ how’s the college application process going” or “ where are you applying to college” . They don’t have to answer if they don’t want to. These are not personal questions, much less so because these kids have chosen to be a tour guide for a school that ends in 12th grade and it would be natural to be curious where kids go after. 
These kids should prepare themselves for questions like “are you applying to grad school” or “ where are you applying for jobs” when they are in college. [/quote]

Who said the kids don’t have a canned response ready? If they don’t give you the list are you going to get mad? At least now you know when you get the canned non response the kid thought your question was inappropriate.[/quote]
