[quote=Anonymous]I find this thread so disheartening. I'm not discounting OP's worries, I can relate and sympathize and I'm sure she only wants the best for her child. But as someone who has struggled with high-functioning anxiety all my life, I can't help but wonder what we are doing to these kids. Why are we deliberately teaching them that this sort of pressure cooker environment is not only acceptable, but desirable and that "making it" will ultimately define their self-worth? Many of these kids will go into adult life thinking that that's how they ought to live: constantly under pressure, for reasons that are completely outside of themselves. I really don't mean this as an attack on anyone, it just makes me really sad that this is where we're at.[/quote]
