[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you ever had a parent dislike your friends and want you to be friends with different people who find you weird?

There’s a reason why people say it doesn’t matter what your socioeconomic status is. If you go to Stanford, the rich hang out with the rich and the dysfunctional with the dysfunctional.

OP, I understand your child. It’s not easy to exit friends who accept for who you are. I also understand your wanting a better future for your child.

Look for adjacent peer groups that are high-performing and will accept your child. For example, there are a lot of nonprofits geared towards first generation college students. Maybe there’s a group for kids who want to become doctors.

If it makes you feel better, there a lots of highly privileged, neglected children who are not headed for bright futures at all. Regardless of where you come from, there’s a way to find good friends who are also a good influence.[/quote]

OP cannot be finding friends for her sophomore in college.  Nope.  [/quote]
