[quote=Anonymous]Good grief, people are just making small talk! No need to take it so seriously. My kids are little, I have no idea what to talk to teenagers about these days, so if I run into a HS neighbor I’ll ask about plans for next year/after HS. No matter the answer, I’ll pretend to be excited about it. Applying to colleges on the west coast? Awesome! What a fun adventure! Community college nearby? Awesome! So great to be near family. Not sure yet? Way to keep an open mind! Plenty of time to figure it out! Thinking about the military? Amazing! What a great thing to do! Now is a good time to teach your kid that people will always ask questions to make small talk. What is your college major? What kind of jobs are you applying for? Do you want to have kids? Is it a boy or girl? The majority of people are just trying to be polite and show interest and do not care at all what the answer is![/quote]
