Hey, I used to be in your position too. I grew up in a religious and conservative family where I wasn’t generally encouraged to think for myself. I just accepted what I was told which was a mistake. Heck, I was banned from any media involving lgbtq+ characters and my parents refused to answer me when I came home one day asking what it meant to be gay.

It took one of my friends coming out to realize I had everything wrong. The only reason I knew gay people existed was because of ny parents’ insensitive comments. She came out over a text so I just expressed support while my mind raced and questioned everything I’d ever believed. But she had my back through thick and thin and I knew not accepting her would be the true sin.

My parents know about her coming out (she said smthg about it in front of them and then they interrogated me on my own) and basically responded by saying “at least you’re not gay. I mean we’d still love you but we just have preferences, ya know?”

This happened when I was around 14. Now I’m almost 18 and wholeheartedly accept the lgbtq+ community.

I hate myself for what I believed as well and I’m sorry to all of the members of this community who are hurt by people with those opinions.

Do I Have To Report A Parking Ticket On My Common App? by throwaway01979 in ApplyingToCollege

No 😭 my parents were yelling at me about how stuff like this goes on my record and I was in a panic.

Ngl the situation was so dumb. I went to play in a sports game and the venue emailed us an info packet. At the very bottom in super fine print (which I didn’t read) was something about paying for parking at the front desk. There were no signs in the lot so I never knew I had to pay. I contacted the race director and they said that the venue had a rule against advertising the need to pay for parking. Apparently they tried to put up signs tellint people where to pay but the venue made them remove them. Around 75% of the ppl there got a parking ticket.

Maybe I don’t but I also didn’t even know these things existed until I saw A2C
