I address this to all those who have felt the pressures that choosing the right university causes and the mind numbing processes you are put through during the selection interviews and stresses that are brought to bear on the extremely intelligent young & fertile genius minds.

Colleges want you because you attract money. I previously asked Max to clarify a few issues and she says, “..and were it not for peer and parent pressures, the students might do what is suggested. However I doubt very much that the colleges will ever let up in their elitism and need to generate money for money’s sake alone.”

This morning I learnt that the daughter of a close friend of mine was rushed to hospital after taking an overdose. She had been stressed and pressurised about which university to go to.

I have no answers on how to prevent this sad and desperate measure by a 16yr old. She has a loving and caring family to support her but the pressures to get funds into the campus treasure chest must have created extreme pressures which the college(s) brought to bear on her in order to just to get her to choose them. How appalling of these academic institutions.

What a sad and bad state of affairs they have created. Instead of creating and nurturing, they are dooming young minds to years of hurt, low esteem, mistrust and the need for therapy.

Damn them.
