[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is too much. Posters have called these kids weirdos, abnormal, and dorks. What is wrong with you. I can’t understand how a parent could refer to any kind of kid as a dork. What are you, twelve years old? Talk about intolerant.[/quote]

There is really no way to have this discussion without using these terms.  The concept of NARP is really about differentiating between strait laced athletes and more unconventional male liberal arts college students (who tend to be more unconventional than say state u males). I am really just channeling what my own kid has conveyed.  I have no ill will towards any kid - you be you as they say![/quote]

If my kid came in and called other kids dorks I would tell him to cut it out. Even if you don’t like or fit in with fit in with a group you can describe them without disparaging them. I certainly wouldn’t channel that from a rude kid. You can certainly have the discussion without disparaging. Even the term NARP says they are the “regular” people with the implication that the athlete is the “different” one. So your description of the NARP as the “unconventional” one doesn’t track.[/quote]

NARPs don't like being called NARPs.  Trust me on this.  It's almost like misgendering them. It's not meant as a compliment.[/quote]
