[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That walking out of the graduation thing that Jen seemed to think was so cool and funny really confirmed to me that she is the kind of mom that laughs at her bratty kids yet seems to want to get away from them as much as possible. That behavior really showed some of the dreaded "privilege" that she and her followers love to identify in the rest of us. I think it wouldn't be hard to find quite a few high school kids who would think it very hip to skip graduation. But there are also quite a few parents who would step in and tell the kid to get out on that stage and walk. Because of self respect, respect for your family who got you there, respect for a rite of passage that will have meaning down the road, and respect for your classmates, some of whom may actually appreciate the diploma they receive.

Hey friendly moms! I think it's very strange how committed some of you are to discussing a teenager's (at the time) personal life and decisions. Keep in mind, these children NEVER asked for their personal lives to be documented and shared for the world to see. They definitely did not ask for anyone to voice their opinion on anything either. They have been in public view since how old? Very young. Remember, I am saying the CHILDREN did not ask for any of this. Jen is another story. I would never judge what he did, especially if you have no verified personal knowledge of how the school, his peers, and his faculty reacted/felt :)

Dare I say, it certainly seems odd to be so preoccupied with an event from 2 years ago, where certainly every child and parent who attended the graduation could not give less of a sh-t about what one singular classmate did. If you want, I can tell you what this is called- a parasocial relationship. Please do some research into these and how negatively it can affect both you AND the REAL PEOPLE you are so freely discussing.
