[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Team OP. So many ways to talk to a teen without grilling them about their college apps. Some folks on DCUM could stand to work on social skills. [/quote] True, there are many other ways to talk to a teen. And I personally never ask about college plans. [b]But I can't stop other people from asking. Like it or not, they will. [/b]So OP's kid needs to figure out an answer because the question is inevitable. [/quote] NP. True, and she should learn to enforce boundaries. “I don’t talk about it.”[/quote] Way to raise a socially awkward and off-putting kid![/quote] + 1 I would laugh in someone's face if they tried this. Being a member of society means learning how to make polite small talk. No one actually cares where you're going to college. It's just something to say. Idle interest. Same as "how's your day going?" It's not like we actually want to hear a truthful answer.[/quote]
