[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you deal with obnoxious kids who constantly brag about their achievements—especially when they’re clearly doing it just to look good on college applications?
My DC is pretty laid-back, but somehow school peers found some of his activities online and started mocking him with comments like “that’s nothing” or “I’m better than you,” etc.
It’s frustrating, and these behaviors seem especially prevalent in certain groups.

This sounds like a rich, private school problem. [/quote]

No, sounds like the opposite:  a suburban public with a lot of Asian families,

the kids at top privates don't load up on extracurriculars and honestly there is very little talk about college among the kids at all.  a huge number of families don't care that much because it doesn't matter where their kid goes to college:  they are stepping into jobs due to connections, etc.  I've seen it play out several times.  money gives the ability to not care:  send that kid to Amherst to study English or Brown to study Peace Studies or Wharton for business or SMU for business.  none of it matters to these kids.
