[quote=Anonymous]About the Atlantic article, I think some general lessons can be drawn, but I'm pretty sure growing up in Palo Alto has its own unique pressures. These kids are growing up in the shadow of Silicon Valley, where start-ups, to paraphrase an SV venture capitalist, either win and win huge, or get essentially a set of steak knives for taking second place. There is no prize for third place. Real estate is so breathtakingly expensive that the kids and their parents are all aware that the kids almost certainly will never be able to afford to live in the area in which they grew up. The pressure these kids face must be unreal. [/quote]
