gone all the time
won’t leave the room
too goth
too preppy
not friendly at all
won’t leave DD alone
wants to party every night
not interested in attending any dorm activities</p>
<p>I’m concerned. Should I intervene?"</p>
<p>^ Then, in rapid response:</p>
<p>“I would call the dean of students now, before it gets worse.”
“Have your DD contact her RA to request a room mate change.”
“Back off. Let her deal with it on her own.”</p>

<p>“Which colleges don’t count 9th grade marks?”</p>
<p>“Is the ACT viewed worse than the SAT?”</p>
<p>“Will my great essay/SAT make up for my poor GPA?”</p>

<p>“Can I submit XXX extra recommendations?”</p>
<p>“I’m in Eighth grade and…”</p>

<p>“Will my choice of major affect my admission to XXX?”</p>
<p>any response comment that says, I’ve been on CC for years and my own children are now grown and gone, so I’m going to respond to your question in the most insulting way I can… to suggest that: </p>
<ol>
<li>I know more than you at the age of 50 than you do at 16 (gee, really?)</li>
<li>I was a loser in HS, but my kid was exceptional so I now get to live through their stats and be a total jerk to you.</li>
<li>I miss being verbally abusive to my own kids now that they’re gone, so you are an easy target wandering in here to cc with your pathetic questions that everyone asks every year.</li>
</ol>
<p>The essay word limit is 500 words; Mine is 2,934 words, but it I really need to say all of it… Is this a problem?</p>
