Ok. Has anyone else had this pop up? As DS has three weeks left in high school the seniors are starting to plan and carry out their Sr Pranks. I have always told DS to think about what you are doing and weigh what’s the best thing that can happen and what’s the worst thing that can happen when you do something.
We have the mom rule you can do anything you want as long as you can look your mom in the eye and tell her what you are about to do before you do it. If you can’t why are you doing it.
His class did something pretty harmless this week, they got a bunch of ride share scooters and disrupted traffic coming in and out of school.
He didn’t participate and got an earful from his classmates and friends. He explained he has an NROTC scholarship and can’t jeopardize it getting in trouble or getting hurt. D1 bound Scholarship athletes told him he was full of garbage because they were doing it.
He stood his ground and didn’t participate and told him he did the right thing and that to be leader and to serve he had to be different than the rest and sometimes that’s not easy and can be lonely doing what’s right.
Has anyone else had to deal with this?
