[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 You don't do your kid any favors by teaching them to treat everything like it's about "boundaries." Learning how to politely redirect a conversation is a useful social skill. Needlessly offending people who are just trying to make conversation by asking you about something they believe likely to be of interest to you is not. [/quote]
