They blocked me on their phones
Well, let them simmer in their juices.
They blocked you? Good for you. A day in peace.
What need to you have to call them anyway???
Explain to a friend your parents threw a fit about college and can you go sleep over for the night because things are very tense. Ask till one says yes.
They’ll call when they don’t see you come home.
"Well, I tried to call you but you’d blocked me so… "
*Drama alert *
Try to relax. It’s been less then 24 hours. Don’t use the word “disown”, they’re just angry.
@MYOS1634 Not only parents throwing a fit here. These parents sound nuts, but OP thinks he can change them.
@Dankjewel Read post 76 again. Try to let it sink in. Then decide between Princeton and someplace like UAH.
OP, an endless stream of complaints over many threads. Sometimes you claim X, sometimes Y. And you insist there’s *nothing * you can do. Nothing at all. Crappy this, awful that.
You’re posts are really confusing^^
- One post says that your parents were insistent on UVA and making you graduate in 3 semesters even if it meant you taking 7 classes a semester
- Next, you say your mom cried and were fully on board for Vanderbilt and will do “whatever it takes” to send you there
- Now, it’s princeton or nothing and not even columbia is acceptable
Also, if Princeton’s preppiness makes rather die than go there, why did you want to apply ED to Vanderbilt, a preppy southern school?
Are your parents chasing prestige? Because it seems like they weren’t 2 months ago. What changed so much? Why is Princeton so unacceptable to you? What attracted you to Vanderbilt so much? Your parents seem extremely irrational and confused about this whole process and you also seem very emotional and indecisive about it, no offense intended. That’s just how it looks looking at the whole picture.
I had the best chance at Vanderbilt statistically and didn’t want to potentially not go to a t20
Your parents they did exactly what they said they would do. Did you think they would not? You have never characterized them as the kind of parent that don’t say what they mean. You called the bluff, only it appears it was no bluff. Princeton may be looking pretty good now, no? You cut your nose off the spite yourself. BTW Blocking your call is not disowning - locking you out of the house, not providing food and housing is disowning. Not paying for college tuition at a school that they don’t want to pay for is just exercising their right to spend their money the way they deem fit. When they cancel your cell you may have cause for concern, right now they just aren’t talking to you which may be a good thing because I doubt they have anything positive to say.
@Dankjewel just go to Princeton. Then when you graduate, go where you want. It’s too late to play chicken or continue calling their bluff. I’m on your side, but you can’t win this. You may as well get an Ivy diploma for your troubles…Good luck to you.
How did they block you? OP said on a previous thread that he doesn’t have a phone (or a computer).
This whole scenario seems to be a work of fiction/someone with too much time on their hands.
@GnocchiB I got a phone a week ago
Anyways, my mom actually succumbed and said she’ll let me go to Columbai
Good, 'cause otherwise I would suggest “I don’t have to go to Columbia…I think the community college is still taking applications”
They are both top 1% colleges and I assume the cost would be the same.
This thread is troubling on so many levels.
Of course…
Just like any good sitcom… the perfect resolution after 22 minutes.
MODERATOR’S NOTE:
And on that note, closing thread. Good luck.
