-- Posted by oallelsefailo at 12:55 pm on May 26, 2008 So my girlfriend who is turning 17 in about 2 days is having huge problems with her parents at home as she has been for the past ~2 years. Her parents basically hate her (or what it seems) she never goes out, never drinks never done drugs but for some reason her parents just put all the blame on her for doing something shes not responsible for. (Her dad even makes her pay his bills because he doesnt know how) So here's the situation. She got this invitation to go visit MIT and her parents wont fill out the paper that they're okay to let her go. Her parents always put her down saying shes going no where in life shes ugly she'll never have anyone never go to college etc. But shes incredibly smart and she cant really pay to go since the family has no money nor would they be willing to spend it on her. What does she do? Not taking this MIT invitation may ruin her chances of getting in all thanks to her parents so... help? -- Posted by daniellamarie29 at 12:57 pm on May 26, 2008 she could forge it but that's not a great idea. i'm sorry she's being treated that way and that invitation is a great thing to have to pass up. -- Posted by Bougar at 12:57 pm on May 26, 2008 Just forge the aper. -- Posted by latinababe77 at 12:58 pm on May 26, 2008 screw her parents. she needs to go to her counsler and get info on grants and stuff -- Posted by chicklover at 12:58 pm on May 26, 2008 fastweb.com has losts of scholarships that she could try to get. but she's not in a healthy relationship with her parents and needs to get out of it as soon as possible. -- Posted by hateitandloveit at 12:59 pm on May 26, 2008 Are you fuckin' serious? This is fuckin' MIT. Forge that shit. -- Posted by forfallonyy at 1:00 pm on May 26, 2008 get her to live w/ u for a while -- Posted by imSOFAKINGrad at 1:03 pm on May 26, 2008 Quote: from hateitandloveit at 12:59 pm on May 26, 2008 Are you fuckin' serious? This is fuckin' MIT. Forge that shit. agreed, MIT is the best technology school ever (i think) i would forge that shit. -- Posted by andrewcool at 1:05 pm on May 26, 2008 I would forge it, or get them to sign a paper stating its for the bills. -- Posted by Seidell at 1:06 pm on May 26, 2008 I say just forge the signature, I mean this is her life and I think it is ridiculous that she has to have her parents permission, this is MIT we are talking about. -- Posted by hateitandloveit at 1:07 pm on May 26, 2008 Quote: from kmksrhdgaf420 at 1:03 pm on May 26, 2008 Quote: from hateitandloveit at 12:59 pm on May 26, 2008 Are you fuckin' serious?

Second only to India Institute of Tech, where people are disappointed if they don't get in and have to settle for Harvard. -- Posted by oallelsefailo at 1:08 pm on May 26, 2008 Which is kinda why she wants to get in since she wants to go into technology. She's already applying to scholarships and what not and she def. wont let her parents stop her from going to college just they wont let her go to this visit thing. And she says the papers req. her parents ss-tax info-income etc. which she doesn't know. Right now her parents are just insanely retarded, take away her phone she cant go anywhere (as if she ever does) and they say anyone that calls for her they'll take another thing away from her. Do you guys know if she can call MIT and kinda go w/o permission or at least just a signature or something? -- Posted by sotayuki at 1:08 pm on May 26, 2008 ever hear of emansapation??? -- Posted by hateitandloveit at 1:10 pm on May 26, 2008 Quote: from oallelsefailo at 1:08 pm on May 26, 2008 Which is kinda why she wants to get in since she wants to go into technology.

The #1 fuckin' hardest school to get into. -- Posted by Ant Murderer at 1:10 pm on May 26, 2008 Dude... this sucks. I'd recomend that she'd talk to her couselor about it. Since her parents wont sign it, have her tell the truth: 'My parents are retards and wont sign it. I'm going though. You can't stop me.'... or somthing like that feels about right. -- Posted by andrewcool at 1:12 pm on May 26, 2008 They want her to stay, because they can't function on their own. Thats why they will not fill out that paperwork. -- Posted by oallelsefailo at 1:14 pm on May 26, 2008 Quote: from sotayuki at 1:08 pm on May 26, 2008 ever hear of emansapation??? Thats too hard to do at her age. No money or anything. I guess she'll just turn to a counselor. Thanks for the help. -- Posted by oXCrzyBoutYouXo at 1:42 pm on May 26, 2008 this is the g/f : ). He is right, my parents are a nightmare. I just want to get a good education. To show you how naive my mother is about all this ill give you all an example: she says i should go to community college, get a "small" career like photography *wth* or as a hair stylist *huh* and then get money, and then go to a big college, and do what i wanna do. what a waste of time. i want to major in engineering. that's my parents for you. she tells me to not expect scholarships, since she thinks ill have to resort to community college anyway. i mean the least they can do is support me in all of this. i never ask for anything. i mean i know they have money problems. for example i need clothes, havent even gotten anything new in a year. my boyfrined helps me though. he sees what i have to go trhough and he gives me whatever he can. i just want  a good education and to be succesful. that's it. nothing else. im not asking them for money, or anything, just their support. -- Posted by dwighttaint at 1:26 am on June 12, 2008 Quote: from hateitandloveit at 1:07 pm on May 26, 2008 Quote: from kmksrhdgaf420 at 1:03 pm on May 26, 2008 Quote: from hateitandloveit at 12:59 pm on May 26, 2008 Are you fuckin' serious?

Don't be fool by the facade those islands of modernization provide, india is still a developing country way behind china and even chinese students are dying to be educated in the western system. as for this girl who has problems, your problems are overrated for two reasons: 1) your invitation to MIT does not mean acceptance but your sob story could help, again, you stated that you are poor beyond poverty itself and most schools feel that education is the only way for some one to better themselves. Putting these two things together means for you that when you submit your application you include a letter so the admissions committee can read and feel bad for yourself. As for the second thing, not going to MIT won't mean the end of the world for you, any undergrad engineering program is basically the same, do well in undergrad, spread your wings, and apply for MIT grad school. Oh, also, you should not make your boyfriend buy stuff. Even if you are poor and suffering and shits, be independent. -- Posted by somelikeitred at 2:48 am on June 12, 2008 For MIT I would definitely consider forge. LOL -- Posted by forfallonyy at 12:09 pm on Feb. 13, 2009 then get her out of there for a lil bit and just make her feel like shes really loved -- Posted by tell me again at 3:55 pm on Feb. 16, 2009 Wow. How did that go, did she/you end up going to the thing? If you missed something important, don't be afraid to approach MIT staff directly and explain the situation and ask for info/support/updates. Genuine dedication is always welcome at any uni, I've found. Most people would try to help, just be persistent and patient. -- Posted by coolsmartygirl at 2:09 am on Mar. 5, 2009 Quote: from Ant Murderer at 1:10 pm on May 26, 2008 Dude... this sucks.  I'd recomend that she'd talk to her couselor about it.

Plus I'd go to the counselor about not able to get her parent's SSN, maybe they can call her parents up or are able to find alternative ways she can get the information. -- Posted by simpleserenade89 at 10:56 am on Mar. 11, 2009 i really feel bad for her ..she should ask a school counsler to help her out im sure theres a lot of people willing to talk her through...and if shes smart she can look into getting scholarships..its obvious her parents are failures and dont know what to do with a smart daughter -- Posted by Tinydancerpennylane at 7:39 pm on Mar. 14, 2009 Forging her parents signature could harm her chances of getting in, that is if they find out. What kind of a permission form is it?  Could her high school principal sign it?  School counselor? -- Posted by amber1991 at 11:03 am on Mar. 22, 2009 Quote: from hateitandloveit at 12:59 pm on May 26, 2008 Are you fuckin' serious?

Plus the state should help her out and once she is in college, loans/government money will pay for her living.
