[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a son with mostly As and a few Bs. His SAT scores were good, but not spectacular. He played football all 4 years and did no other extracurriculars. I can't tell you how many people in the past six months, when talking to him about college, told him how "uninteresting" he was. It's an incredibly hurtful thing to say to a teen. And mean. Cruel. Mind your business. The kid will find his way like every other kid, without your "help". [/quote] Yeah, people are awful. My son is overwhelmed by all the outside talking that he's shut down and won't have the actual conversations we need to have with him (i.e. lets plan a college trip for spring break). He played a different sport, but is otherwise similar to your son, who I'm sure is a great kid. My kid isn't a loner, but he isn't a joiner, either, and found clubs uninteresting. I wish him lots of luck.[/quote]
