[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So where would a kid who wouldn't be caught dead at a football game and thinks kids who drink and smoke pot are losers fit in for college?[/quote]

:roll:

Teach your kid to be less judgmental; he/she will be happier in college and in life. [/quote]

+1. Plenty of room in the bottom level of the library for the insufferable. [/quote]

NP, but my kid is the same way (didn't get it from me; I had fun drinking in college and love team sports!). Was assuming they'd be best off at a smaller liberal arts school... without a football team.[/quote]
Meh. My kid is nerdy and doesn’t like to drink, but he was raised to be a much nicer and less judgmental person than to call people “losers” if they make different choices than him. The vast majority of college students drink and or do drugs...if they’re all losers to your (PP’s) kid, then he’s going to have a really hard time in college and professionally.[/quote]

Well said. [/quote]

No, it isn't actually. These are teenagers, and while we may object to the language of the age (the partiers use far worse words to describe the straight laced kids, of course), the important point is that the actual judgement being made is that getting high and partying is not OK, and if they are strong enough in character to avoid the pressure to join in and are turned off by the kids who engage in that behavior, they are not going to have a hard time in college or professional life. They'll be fine.[/quote]
