[quote=Anonymous]I'd like to add an observation and advice from a different perspective. I have been an upper school teacher in a DC area private school for over 25 years. All adolescents go through a period of extreme egocentrism. They feel the entire world is focused on them, and judging them, for everything. They think every person they encounter notices and is disgusted by a pimple, or an item of clothing, for example. This is simply part of normal development. It is the parents' (primarily, although I do believe it takes a village...) job to make sure they make it through this period knowing that they are not the centers of the universe, learning not to judge others, and, hopefully, not being materialistic. It seems to me that most of the comments on this thread are from parents who are non-judgmental, secure adults. Those who are obsessed with income and materialism might want to reconsider your values. [/quote]
