In a thread in the parent group for college freshmen, dozens comforted a mom

worrying about her daughter not fitting in with "fashionably chic and ultra

skinny girls with very expensive clothes and purses."

 

The next post in my feed showed in black-and-white the back of a ponytailed girl

in a tank top flashing the words "Among princesses, be a wrestler." Now that's a

bird of a different feather and I guess she would not fret about fitting in

anywhere.
