[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The enormous pressure on kids is coming from parents. And no one knows the moment that it will simply be more than the kids can bear.

The student at Andover who took his own life on Ivy Day a few weeks ago? Could have been any kid, imo. He is really all of our kids.

Parents: Do better. Stop bickering. Model kindness. And, yes, that success is a long arc with many, many paths and steps along the way.

And all of those Insta accounts are part of the problem. [/quote]

The IG accounts are run by students. Have you ever considered that the students who post are proud of where they’re attending college and THEY want to share the news? Those who don’t want to share don’t have to share. Give these students some credit for having agency. [/quote]

Calling BS right here. The proud student can brag on their own social media of choice, on every channel. While I personally find that tasteless, I recognize that a younger person might not yet have a more refined filter. I will celebrate them for their achievement.

Insta accounts by school that are public, and only the kids who feel good submit, are part of the problem.

As are you. [/quote]
