<p>Always good to generalize! NOT!</p>
<p>^ But it’s true!</p>
<p>Ehh not necessarily… there was one parent on my thread with quite a lot of posts and he/she was very friendly and supportive. Also, I can list Northstarmom off the top of my head as an example of a parent with well over 15,000 posts who is NOT a “jerk” or a “complete loser”.</p>
<p>Think about the type of parent that would frequent a site like this- one that is clearly way too invested in their child. It doesn’t surprise me they act immature.</p>
<p>What I dislike are the parents who post concerns about their child’s roommate or whatever. Have you been so overbearing that they have no idea how to handle polite confrontation on their own? Let them live.</p>
<p>I was just on the theatre/drama major forum and the “thread for rising seniors” was all parents…lol</p>
<p>HSL is the only place to avoid the constant whirring of the helicopters…</p>
<p>Ok. I feel better now:) I think the parents who are here have good advice also since they were in college before, but now i know why some of them are mean. I like Northstarmom too. She is here alot and says alot of good stuff. So i guess the parents should be alowed to post in the college life room and hs room, but they shouldnt get mad when people who arent parents post stuff in the parents room. Its like when your parents have their friends over and you just want to ask them a simple question and they snap at you for no reason. </p>
<p>Ok. Im going to look over this post of everyone who posted something and make all of you my freinds, but I have to go out to eat now, so i’ll be back soon. Brb.</p>
<p>The thing is too, if you post something, it shows up on the most recent posts, so even if you arent hanging out in the parents room, you still see the posts and some of them are interesting, but the politics posts are boring.</p>
<p>Ooh, just look at these ^ posts. This is a college search and decide multi-forum.<br>
Would you be happy receiving advice exclusively from other hs kids? Satisfied with begging a “chance me” from a…hs kid? So grateful that you, another hs kid, are willing to chance him back?</p>
<p>“they are just losers that spend all of their time on CC” posted by- oh, a CC-er.</p>
<p>“funny how they think they know everything about every university you’ve ever heard of” - Funny how kids think they know more about college than adults experienced in admissions- as parents or professionals.</p>
<p>“Some of them seem overbearingly defensive of their darling offspring” - only a few loonies. The right wingers aiming to bring down our govt (on a college forum!) bother me more. If you really want to get a rise and have fun, I could refer you to their screen names.</p>
<p>“Think about the type of parent that would frequent a site like this” Darned right.</p>
<p>Some of the parents know way to much about their children. And I find the use of “my d” or “my s” kind of annoying. I once posted a thread, and got some rude responses from parents, one even dug through my past post and tried to use it against me. Very stalker like.</p>

<p>Oh my god. I agree so much with that. Especially when they start using “D1 and D2” and so on. I see sentences like “D1 attends Harvard with a 3.8 and D2’s SAT is up 70 points to 2350 and is hoping with that and a 3.9996837 to get into Stanford SCEA” and it’s just so weird to me. It feels so impersonal. These are kids, not stocks they’ve invested in…I’d find it kind of offensive if my parents talked about me like that, even on an internet forum. It seems so awkward and impersonal.</p>
