[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a family where the kid said he applied to schools xyz, but when April rolled around and no letters came (either acceptance or rejection), then the parents discovered he had lied about applying.  (I really don't know how he managed to mislead them in the fall).

I also know a family where the kid was off at grad school, parents paying for it, and an entire year went by where the kid had basically dropped out but the parents didn't know and continued to pay and send him room/board.

These are cautionary tales because in both cases, it was the parent's desire -- neither kid wanted to be at school. Not excusing what the kids did, but just relaying what I've seen happen. [/quote]
That does happen. I know of a family where their son claimed he was in business school when in actuality he dropped out to become a race car driver. He finally fessed up during a big Christmas dinner with the entire family. His parents were initially disappointed but they wanted to support him.

Unfortunately, he was in a crash (during a race no less) a few years later and became paralyzed.[/quote]
