[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Yes, but you can make it "in" if you're exceptionally outgoing, good looking and charismatic. [/b]
My son's a senior at a top private high school and although we're upper middle class (at best), he moves seamlessly with the popular rung of the super rich.  He's invited to Nantucket and Aspen and Europe with classmates.  They adore him because he's super funny, deprecating, etc and I think most importantly---weirdly confident.  He doesn't feel inferior to anyone.

Now, I'm not sure if any of this is actually to be admired. We (the parents) aren't fans of aiming to be friends with the rich and popular but it's how he's wired. That's another conversation.

I have two other kids who are very different.

This is also true.  You need to bring something unique to the table in order to get "in" the club, which most people do not.  The most common method is to be an athlete, a musician combined with being tall & handsome.  If you're the dude that other dudes want to be and women want to be with, they will welcome you with an open invitation.  [/quote]

It just hit me that this is my ds at college. He dropped out of pledgship but he still goes to all of their parties and his roommates are all those fraternity brothers. He is very good looking but I don't like to think about it.[/quote]
