[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh! Some of you are sooo mean! She did not hurt you or your child in anyway. She seems to have been poorly advised, but I doubt she had ill intent.[/quote]

Oh, you doubt it? Why don't you at least read the article?

[quote=Anonymous]From the article:  "Love says [b]she lost count of how many schools she ended up applying to.
"I just kept applying," Love told CNN. "I wanted to see how many I could get into."[/b]

I think that's your answer.[/quote]

i.e. "I knew I was being ridiculous and wasting everyone's time but it's FUN! I wanted the ego boost! Yay me! What a fun stupid game!"

Nothing at all about wanting to attend those colleges, or being worried that she wouldn't get into one of the other 100 that she applied to. And now people see it on CNN and get an idea in their head that this is somehow "normal". Terrible.[/quote]

Sigh......think about it. You are quoting a teenager. Think about all the ridiculous schemes your teen has come up with that you  put the brakes on. If you directed your anger towards the school counselor or parents, I’d see your point. [/quote]
