My daughter is in the seventh grade at a grade 6-8 school. She has been thinking this through for a while since fifth grade and hasn't changed her mind and it's starting to worry me. Since grade 5, she has wanted to study journalism. I told her she needn't go to college. Me, her father, and her sister are all doing well, and none of us went to college. She still persisted, and has been looking into it behind my back, when I questioned her about it, she simply replied she was curious. She went on to ask about her college fund, which i truthfully told her that she would not have, because college was just a waste of money. She shook her head and agreed. But now, I have seen her looking on college websites, and have seen files calculating how much money she could make to save up for it. She has also been plotting with her older sister, and they opened up a bank account so they could make her a college fund. Why is she being so unreasonable?
