[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, but parents crying over this?

Really, that cannot be helping their children cope at all.[/quote]

I think the parents posted that they cried away from their children.

I completely get parents crying when their child gets rejected from a first choice school. We all hate to see our beautiful children hurt or disappointed, but in this case, there is zero we can do about it except support our children. But it's painful for the parents too! We love our children and are so proud of how accomplished they are. I'm truly amazed by my child and can't understand why she hasn't received the Nobel by now! Of course we know our kids will be fine at their third or seventh choice college and this momentary pain will be forgotten. But don't think it doesn't hurt. [/quote]

Sorry, but this just tells me you have not known true hardship, as a parent: your kid getting cancer or attempting suicide, for example.

The fact that they may need to attend a college that has a lower ranking in USNWR...is just not tragic or awful. It isn't.

If a teen does not realize that, the adult who is their role model should. [/quote]

You have no freakin idea what I as a parent have endured. None whatsoever.

STFU. [/quote]
