Mom issues stark warning about sending your kid to a rich school: It will ruin them

A young TikToker has shared a heartbreaking admission about going to school.Posting a simple clip of her troubled face, the text over it reads: “Please never send your kid to a rich school if you’re not rich.It will ruin them.”The caption says: “I’m grateful to get a good education but it’s so difficult to be in a environment where you don’t fit in.”The short but impactful video has been liked more than a million times, and attracted 3.5k comments, with so many sharing similar experiences.The girl later added to the comments section,  “I feel so seen that this video blew up and people relate.”It’s a devastating, but also at times inspiring, thread, about what’s sadly impacted so many childhoods – despite so many parents trying their best.“I was bullied for wearing the same shoes in P.E.”Thousands identified as the ‘not rich kid in a rich school.’-“The kids are out of touch with reality.

My parents spent all their savings and earnings on my education BUT STILL….the worst part was comparing yourself to them.”-“I was always asked where we were going on holidays.

Um, nowhere?”Students’ mobile phones were also a topic, with many saying they were questioned, “Why are you using an android?”And the scrutiny was real, as this person shared, “This was me in high school and I never invited anybody over, and when I did invite one girl over she looked at my duplex house and went ‘Ohh that makes sense!’ Like, what?!”But their feeling of not belonging did not go unnoticed by some who were compassionate, even as high schoolers.Stay up on the very latest with Evening Update.
