Brenda Thinks She's Not Meant for College

[@gomerhanger2285]

Not many are meant for college. Good for you Brenda 😊

[@nicoleackerman205]

Also what Brenda wanted to be is not something a person goes to college for they either have talent or they don't.

[@onceuponanexploration6048]

You mean college isn't meant for people. Fixed it.

[@nicoleackerman205]

@@onceuponanexploration6048 No that is actually what I meant Brenda wants to be an actress and if someone wants to be an actress they either have talent or they don't going to school will not change that will only put them in debt with that degree.

[@12012channel]

@@nicoleackerman205 Somewhat disagree. This was early 90's. You could probably get a decent paying job no matter what the degree was in.

[@NewBloodMoon6000]

​@@nicoleackerman205Exactly,because you don't need to go to college for 4 years to Become an entertainer. Musician doesn't learn how to play an instrument , sing or read music in college. I Stand Up Comedain does not learn how to write jokes or tell them to people in college. Talent is a Skill you must teach yourself, by watching other people do it, practicing yourself even go to a theater and pay for some lessons .

I still fail to comprehend how it is a problem for Brandon if Brenda is back. Like if they haven’t shared a house until the week prior

[@michaelleary9233]

I think he just got to liking the drama free house, but they were so close, he got over it.

[@lindagurrera685]

Exactly

[@myrnashoults9735]

Didn’t he take over her room as well? Kind of turned it into a mini apartment

[@snopesshop1903]

It's insane. Jim is horrible.

[@jaredjlinden]

Brando is a self-centered little pipsqueak. And the parents enabled that, especially the father. Remember when they let Brando sleep with his girlfriend in his bedroom, but they had an absolute meltdown when Brenda slept with Dylan a year later.

[@jonathanhuertas1977]

I despise parents who don’t give their children any other option but go to college. That is something for them to decide, not the parents.

[@brettteply1207]

Jim doesn’t need to punish Brenda, because she punished herself by enrolling in Minnesota, getting verbally abused by Darla and her Junior High “friends” and wasting her money

She’s not acting concerned. Kelly needs to know everything about Brenda so she can make her next chess move. She needs to know what’s wrong so she can weaponize it against Brenda.

[@SJ-ni6iy]

She can’t have Brenda and Dylan out of school, with all that free time on their hands 😂

Awwwww I miss the days of pay phones and cord phones you had to share with your whole family…It was the BEST of times, it was worst of times…. No…no…it WAS the BEST of times!

It seemed simpler back then. Maybe not easier, but simpler.

[@RBS_]

...the writers are AT it, agaaaaain (1:05) ....they're making Brenda look slovenly, stubborn, disillusioned, lazy, and passive-aggressive; Shannen is working with what they're giving the character, but it's VERY clear they're making her the "..Wild Child..."

Well , there’s always the university of reality .. not everybody is meant for college .. people tend to forget that .. I went to college .. and seriously .. I learned more in the real world working than sitting in a classroom

[@Tityretupatulae]

Shannon Doherty’s acting is so superior to anyone in every scene

[@nitinbhojraj7308]

Jim's line about Mrs. Lincoln is great. Also, Jim and Cindy are the best parents. They listened and worked with her. Also, Brenda did the right thing by cancelling classes in time to get that 90 percent. She should have been an accountant like her dad.

[@sailorsister211]

I could understand her parents wanting to go to college. My parents told my silblings and I, we either go to college or work full-time. However, it shouldn't be pushed into her, esp if she wants to be actress. U dont need college for that, that it all depends on who u know, if u have the looks, and talent. If she goes to college, it should be something useful or get a job. I don't get what Brandon has to do with her moving back in.

[@prasad9002]

Because she always wanted to go to college. Cant just quit because she had a rough experience with a particular collage. Any parents would want their smart daughter to attend college. Acting dosent always garnerntree work for many.

[@wickster2121]

[@alta-i9u]

idk why jim is pressuring her to go to school so much. it's really not best to pressure kids early. sometimes unless they[re already certain about their career goals & have been since HS, it's best to let them work couple of yrs to get it out of their system. holding down a job & paying for what you want is the fastest way to grow up.

[@LKR0722]

Back in 90's and 2000's, kids were told they "have to go to college." Which is partly to blame for all the student debt many now owe. Many degrees are useless.

[@julieerin115]

I knew a few kids whose parents were constantly hounding them to bring up their grades for uni despite that they generally kept scraping by. Oddly, my mother had these antiquated notions that doing a diploma program at community college with "good looks" and finding the right man was more important. Sometimes I wonder if it would have been better to take her advice rather than squirrel away money for uni.

[@Goodgrief478]

“Well It’s not just us, what about Brandon?”…. No wonder brenda didn’t have a problem with leaving for London.

[@Nicole_Jewell]

This part still makes me so mad at especially Jim more worried about Brandon as always then Brenda. We all know in Jim's eyes Brandon is the perfect child but truth is he's far from perfect a few examples 1. snuck his girlfriend in his room and made out with her when she came to visit 2. drove drunk and got locked up 3. had a major gambling problem and Jim overlooked all those things but if Brenda just breathes wrong it's like Jim has a fit.

[@SorayaEsfandiary_]

True Brandon wasn't perfect, but the problem with Brenda is that she over dramatizes everything and it's exhausting.

[@linkinthebio27]

and may I add, drove drunk, POTENTIALLY could have killed someone in that collision, and got locked up. also instrumental in blocking the construction of that mall in season 2, which would potentially create hundreds of new jobs in the community. never stood by his sister with enough support during the dylan and kelly betrayel. didn't believe his sister during the randolf rumors.

[@natalie651]

This conversation is exactly why Jim and Cindy were horrible parents. They never supported Brenda at all. They asked her to talk to them and she told them in detail that she didn't like the classes, the people, the dorm, etc. She didn't like it. And instead of being supportive, they act like she's the problem. It was such great writing in the show that Brenda turned depressed in season 4 because - of course - any normal person would get depressed with horrible unsupportive parents like that and a horrible friends like that.

[@dancerkris95]

She was only there for two weeks, and classes hadn't even started yet. She was very negative the whole time about EVERYTHING. Darla tried to get her included in the activities on campus, but she rathered sulk in her room. She never gave it a chance.

[@Romans8-9]

Horrible is a bit much. They had her best interests at heart, although Jimbo definitely was a hypocrite and obviously played favourites with Brandon. Cindy was like the perfect mom.
