<p>Worries about ___ seems to be my new phrase :-/... Well anyway! So I've read through a lot of different posts about social life at the top BS... for people who attend BS, what is it really like? Very cliquey? Anyone seriously outcasted from society? xD</p>
<p>You know, after the decisions come out, all o' us CC-ers should meet up on revisit days somehow and magically realize who's who. That would be fun ^_^ and really cool!</p>
<p>Well, I’ve heard a lot of different experiences. A lot of family of mine has gone to boarding school. Also, most of the people we know are preps.</p>
<p>The worse I’ve ever heard was my cousin at a GLADCHEMMS was hazing her against her will. A group of girls constantly bullied her and she ended up dropping out. </p>
<p>Also, at my Uncle’s boarding school, they had a problem with eating disorders. </p>
<p>At my other Uncle’s school, which was a GLADCHEMMS, he really loved it and said that he made tons of friends.</p>
<p>At my Aunt’s school, she said that it was the best experience in her life and that the kids are really welcoming.</p>
<p>At my other cousin’s schools (I had four cousin graduates and knew five others), which was a GLADCHEMMS, they all ended up failing in life, because the school was really loose on work ethics. However, they had fun. One graduate (not my cousin, just someone I know) ended up in jail though.</p>
<p>At my other Uncle’s school, which was a GLADCHEMMS, he and a fellow graduate did something horrible that I can’t speak of.</p>
<p>Anyways, I can keep going forever, but it really just depends on who you are. Most of my family loved their experience at boarding school and some who are still attending love it as well!</p>
<p>My daughter who is in the process of the miserable waiting, seriously hates talking about this process and had been heavily favoring day school, said to me, “do you think I would like boarding school?”
I chose my words carefully. As much as I would love to have my only child home, I KNOW what she would get out of boarding would be an incredible gift to HER. I want the decision to be thought out carefully from all angles should there be a decision to make. So I said, I don’t know anyone who hates it at boarding school, do you? At that point she thought about all of her friends, male and female, who left this past fall and the year previous. They all love it. From my perspective as a parent, if a student chooses their school based on fit and hat they want out of school, the experience will be a good one. There will be groups, obviously, but I suspect everyone finds people who share their interests. Also you are going into a smarter pool of kids. Usually insecure dimwits are the judgmental ones. At BS everyone is new, everyone wants to make friends, and you sound like a smart person with a fun sense of humor. You will probably be a standout.</p>
<p>Btw after this conversation she decided bs would be a better choice.</p>
