I think it’s weird she’s dating a kid who’s still in high school. They need to hold on until he’s in college at least. I think socially and mentally she’s about 16 or 17. I know everybody here hates her but a lot of people love this girl. I think she just made some huge mistakes with the guys she’s dating it must be a weird life for her. She doesn’t seem to know anyone her own age.

Prep school is a lot more fluid than traditional school–things operate a little differently there. For instance, you’re not a “freshman,” you’re a Third Form, Junior would be Fifth Form etc. A lot of people take post-graduate years after graduating (still not sure why, sometimes it’s sport or college thing, sometimes they just like prep school so much they stick around and delay college). Not unheard of to graduate at 20, 21, 22. And with enough money, the administration will accommodate just about anything! Surprises me even more that any prep school kicked out a Kennedy.

I have family in Greenfield (kind of run down–we’ll call it “quaint”) and Deerfield (BIG $) and a relative that attends prep school in Deerfield, although I don’t think it’s the same one that the Kennedy offspring goes to, I’m sure we would have gotten an earful about THAT.

Prep school is, uh, different. Husband went to prep schools in Connecticut. Some (most?) have half school days on Wednesdays and Saturdays to allow for sport matches. Although the students are given some measure of free time, usually to go into town and eat and hang out, as far as I’ve heard, you can’t just cut loose when your girlfriend shows up.

Then again, money, famous pop starlets and family names like Kennedy buy a lot of freedom, eh?

Also, about that 18 year old junior-in-high-school thing: it’s common to take post-graduate years. Yes, in high school. Sometimes it has to do with getting more exposure from scouts for pro sports & colleges… although some of ‘em just stick around because they like the environment. I met one guy from husband’s prep school that was just graduating at twenty. Naturally, his parents gifted him with a brand new Benz.

And that’s how the bizarre other half lives.

How do you know what these people do or not do? And how clean cut is she if she got banged by John Mayer?

That was probably me. And no it’s not because his parents neglected to enroll him. Or because of his allergies. Or because his mom committed suicide.

He was kicked out of his previous prep school due to behavioral issues and wound up transfering to Deerfield where he had to repeat 9th grade. (he went from one prep school to another, let’s establish this).

There you go.

“Oh, God” is all I can say, or think . . .

I don’t know – if I were her, I’d be avoiding getting into a car with this kid and would never fly in a small plane with him. No skiing either.

That bunch has a cloud of disaster hanging over their heads, although Taylor won’t be helping things.

She might be stalkerish, odd and a knit-wit, but I do think she’s beautiful. I think that’s her real hair and if it is, I’d love to have it (except the color – I like lighter blonde shades).

I still don’t get why she’s with an 18 y/o, but whatever… O_o;
