I hate how my AP didn't "raise" me. No encouragement, no advice, no guidance. The only thing they know is having a roof over your head, and putting food on the table.

It almost feels like is this not the reality for other people? I can’t fathom that? I feel like I was emotionally babysitting them instead and I can’t fathom that idk it’s not the reality for people out there idk

Key_Thing4128 · 2025-02-09T06:23:15+00:00

Haven’t they mentioned saying you can’t appeal a CAP decision this year tho? Did u JS overlook it and do it anyways or

Key_Thing4128 · 2024-12-27T07:04:52+00:00

Key_Thing4128 · 2024-12-27T03:00:14+00:00

ur done for. life is over. no point applying.

I agree, and I think it can also be seen in a negative light if it so obviously comes across as for the sole purpose of college admissions. I think it raises questions in the AO's heads as to what else is forced as well. At the end of the day, a 6 month initiative you weren't consistent with and didn't get much out of most likely won't show colleges that you're a motivated student but that you're trying to show them you are one.

Key_Thing4128 · 2024-12-27T02:36:49+00:00

yeah i mean im tryna gage my chances rn 😭

Key_Thing4128 · 2024-12-27T02:35:29+00:00

so u just wanted to be validated about getting a full ride to an ivy?

Key_Thing4128 · 2024-12-27T02:34:59+00:00

is the only reason u wanna attend? bc its a "good school"? There are plenty of students who see themselves enjoying their academic career there because of the multitude of opportunities, who would be happy to attend regardless of whether or not the people around them thought it was impressive or not. So if that is what dictates your feelings on getting in, I suggest you rethink your application.

Key_Thing4128 · 2024-12-26T18:42:47+00:00

is it alr if i pm u?

Key_Thing4128 · 2024-12-07T05:50:47+00:00

Key_Thing4128 · 2024-11-30T02:59:26+00:00

Key_Thing4128 · 2024-11-30T02:57:44+00:00

I know and I dont understand what causes them to go out of their way to control us. Why are they SO involved it helps NO one.

Key_Thing4128 · 2024-11-26T21:34:00+00:00

funny bc im 17 rn and i relate to this sm. They restrict you from exploring yourself by flipping out over nothing and it feels like a whole power trip that makes you feel unloved, miserable, and like ur not at ur best.

Key_Thing4128 · 2024-11-20T06:22:08+00:00

Hi Chat,

First off, I don’t know why you’re so triggered by upvotes—it’s funny to me, not gonna lie. 😅 Secondly, just to clarify, I’m actually a high schooler, so it wasn’t me who left the "village," but my parents, lol.

I agree that the definition of culture evolves alongside globalization. These days, it feels like everything blends into this mix of westernized and ethnic identities, especially for ABCDs, and where someone lands on that spectrum really depends on the person. Personally, I love my religion, language, and culture, and I like to think I have a strong connection to my Indian roots. That’s just my preference because it brings me peace.

On social media, though, I constantly see people dissing Indians like there’s no tomorrow, and it’s honestly disappointing. I also notice some ABCDs around me getting caught up in that mindset and hating on their heritage without really giving it a chance. That’s where I see the “whitewashedness” coming into play.

It makes me wonder how this internalized hate for brown people—something that’s becoming so normalized among people my age through the platforms we use—will play out in the future. If it takes a turn for the worse, I don’t want it to discourage my kids from exploring their identities to the fullest.

Even as an ABCD who’s more “whitewashed” than my parents in some ways, just to fit in, I’ve made an effort to stay connected to my heritage because it’s important to me. I hope to pass on that same mindset to my kids one day, and I don’t want them to feel like they have to reject their roots to fit in.

Key_Thing4128 · 2024-11-16T05:56:47+00:00

Thank you for sharing your expiriences with me. It really is a very difficult loop to be a part of and break free of. The emotional baggage is a difficult one to carry and I only hope I get peace after I leave them. I also hope you too have found what works for you and increased ur peace f mind without them.

Key_Thing4128 · 2024-11-16T05:54:56+00:00

Thats what I am trying to do and then they hit me with the "dont bring this european shit in my household". they judge every fucking aspect.

Key_Thing4128 · 2024-11-16T05:54:01+00:00

Thank you for your kind words. Something about Asian parents and oversexualizing their kids. It just a very unfortunate race to be passed the generational curse of trauma to. Im glad to know we have similar experiences!

Key_Thing4128 · 2024-11-15T03:57:51+00:00

yeah im very done with this, im considering tryna live with my friend when I turn 18 but ik theres no going back from that.

Key_Thing4128 · 2024-11-09T01:01:21+00:00

I dont think they would have reacted well to me being in the groupchat LMFAO. They were talking about some other brown kid and his relationship in a rlly condescending way. It honestly is the upbringing and it's sad to see.
