[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought this was going to be about a kid who got rejected from choices 1 through 5, which would be something to be bummed about. Got 1st choice but not 5th choice? NO sympathy. Stop it, shut up, grow up, forget about everything except the school you’re actually going to attend.[/quote] THIS^^^ There is a reason it was your kid's 5TH CHOICE! Just remind them that they are attending their TOP CHOICE, not something that all kids get the opportunity to do. Give them a day to mourn the loss of the 5th choice and then focus on their future. Even if it was the reverse (attending 5th choice because you got shut out of 1-4), it is not healthy to wallow in the rejection. If your kid is truly focused on this, you might need to consider some therapy for them, as they need to learn how to deal with basic rejections in life and not let them linger.[/quote]
