[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi, OP again. He has already screenshotted it.

He is going to talk to the teacher involved with the position who can back him up. They will probably end up going to her counselor and letting her know about the falsified resume. From there he will let the high school decide whether to contact the colleges she has been accepted to.

And again, he is not upset that he didn't get in. As I said before, he is committed to his first choice. Nor does he think that this made a difference with respect to the decisions.

What he IS upset about is that she is getting away with lying. He has a strong sense of justice and does not like the amount of rampant cheating that goes on in his high school, and that everyone gets away with it. He complains about it frequently.[/quote]

Of course your DS is upset he got rejected and this other girl got accepted.

Kids aren't good at this kind of thing or dealing with their emotions. He is very disappointed but instead of being able yo express that or own up to it, he instead has created this issue to  channel his disappointment. Personally, I would tell my kid they need to let it go, that being rejected by the school was hard, it's ok to be disappointed and it can take some time for the feelings to die down. [/quote]
