[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids are pushed so hard these days in K-12 that they get to college and break. Just break. The pandemic cannot be helping matters.[/quote] Omg stop. For one, the tiger mom rat race is less than 1% of all teens. Two, high school and college isn't hard, it's incredibly fun and interesting and you're surrounded by peers in the prime of their life. And it's generally all paid for via parents or loans, so it feels or literally is free. This idea that every kid is working themselves to the bones in class and has two part-time jobs to make ends meet at college is not based on any reality. :roll: What I think stokes the suicides is SOCIAL MEDIA. It is evil. It makes it basically impossible to reinvent yourself anymore at college. And you no longer leave high school friends behind, everyone brings those cliques to college. College is no longer than "new beginning" blank slate it used to be.[/quote]
