[quote=Anonymous]100% you don’t have to live like this. DCUM is not reality and it certainly doesn’t have to be your reality. Just say no. I have seen this for years on DCUM where people bemoan the competitiveness or whatever of the area but it’s completely up to you if you want to play that game or not. My kid did dabbled in various activities growing up— soccer, an instrument, martial arts, etc. It was never more than a couple hours a week by mutual choice. He found some ECs he liked in HS— none of which he had done before HS. Got into his first choice college for whatever that is worth. Live how you want to live and don’t worry about how other people are living, and certainly don’t let DCUM make you feel inadequate.[/quote]
