[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 15-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl.

My kids understand that they need to present their best selves, just like they'll do in their careers. They do that by dressing stylishly, by playing travel, by having cool travel experiences, by hanging out with other cool kids, and by making sure they're not letting other kids drag them down.

DH and I help them by purchasing them the latest clothes, by getting them training so that they start on their travel teams, by taking them on cool trips where they can fill up their Instas, and by opening our pool in the summers for kids to hang out (with a stocked fridge of sodas and snacks).

We're judged according to those with whom we associate. In my DH's career he knew it was critical to get face time with the partners. I know that it's important for us to associate with prominent local people so that teachers know they need to be careful and treat our kids right. My kids understand that while the movies show it's nice to hang out with Waldo, in practice all that does is exile them to the losers' table.

The more we talk about "anti-bullying" and stuff like that, we lose sight of what we need to teach our kids for them to succeed. At some point if kids don't want to be bullied, they need to stop doing things that get them bullied.[/quote]

Wow, this has to win some kind of DCUM price for social climbing.[/quote]

OP here.  It has got to be a troll - someone pretending to be someone else.  It is fairly obvious, and not very smart.  I thought to report it, but I think that the person who has a beef with the original post should be called out, so I am letting it stand.  Probably the same PP who was talking about "popular kids become hookers".  Actually, I would love to see a cite on that, but since no doubt there is not one that exists, I would like to encourage PP to keep talking.  It is more priceless than PP knows ;)  My guess is that PP has.....issues.[/quote]
