She Told Off Her Sister For Trying To Rub Other People’s College Acceptances In Her Face
After this 18-year-old woman decided that she wanted to go to college, she applied to various universities. While she did get into a few good institutions, though, she was not accepted to her top-choice schools.
So, since then, she revealed how everyone in her family had expressed mixed feelings. Some are disappointed, while others are just pitying her.
“It hurts me because I tried so hard, and also, it just feels bad,” she said.
On social media, all of her peers have been posting about their college acceptances, too. And while she’s happy for her classmates who got into their top choices, it doesn’t feel great to be constantly reminded.
That’s why her sister has been particularly annoying her. Apparently, her sister keeps randomly informing her whenever someone they know announces what school they got into.
Now, in the beginning, she tried to just feel happy for their peers– responding with statements like, “Omg!” or “Cool! That’s so good for them.”
Her sister has not gotten the hint, though, and continues to share where everyone else is going to college. So, each time, it makes her feel increasingly worse.
On top of that, it feels like her sister is just trying to rub other people’s college acceptance in her face– pointing out how they got into certain schools, and she didn’t.
“I mean, maybe that’s not her intention,” she admitted. “But it sure feels that way.”

That’s why after her sister recently announced yet another person’s college acceptance, she just finally snapped and told her sister off.
“Okay, you don’t need to tell me every time you find out that someone got into a college I was rejected from. I am happy for them, but really? Chances are I already know they got in because they’re in my grade, and I follow them,” she responded to her sister.
It appears her sister just didn’t understand that, though, and got pretty mad at her. Ever since then, her sister has also been giving her the cold shoulder.
So, she started reflecting on the situation and realized that her sister probably did not mean to be hurtful.
And now, she’s wondering if telling her sister off was the wrong way to handle the situation.
Do you think her sister was really just being oblivious? Or should it have been obvious how upsetting her sister’s constant comments were? Did she do the right thing by telling her sister off or not? What would you have done?
