[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I heard from my kid is that Langley is full of mean and pretentious kids.[/quote]

Maybe a little status driven - you really can't avoid it since the kids come from families that are among the most successful. Their parents are competitive, so they have competitive kids.

No doubt some elements in this environment is not healthy, but on the whole, it's a great school with great academic achievements. [b]If a kid cannot stand the pressures of a high school like Langley, then he/she is going to have bigger problems in college and life in general. [/b]

Utter BS.  For too many kids pressure-cooker high schools like Langley and some others around here are toxic and unhealthy.  I know several graduates who moved on to college and had great experiences and still look back on their stressful high school years at Langley as some of the worst in their life.

In my experience, anyone who makes gross generalizations about someone's life based on how they felt in high school no probably peaked in high school.   And we all know what those people are like.  [/quote]

And yet here you are, making gross generalizations about the experiences of kids who attend Langley.  I have no doubt there are some kids who had a terrible experience there - just as there are always kids IN EVERY HIGH SCHOOL who hated their four years there.  Interestingly, there are far more kids who have a wonderful experience attending Langley and the other "toxic and unhealthy" schools in the area.  Please. [b] Spare us your melodrama.[[/b]/quote]

Wow, you are vile.  These kids had personal issues most do not, but I suppose it's convenient to blame their deaths on the school at large.

Where's your link to every other teen suicide?  When I was growing up, far from here, we also had some student suicides occur.  However, no one placed the blame on the school itself.   Though I suppose if you have an axe to grind in the first place, then it's mighty convenient, right?[/quote]
