I can’t even imagine. A girl in one of my 10th grade classes had a kid, and nowadays I see her out with her 16 year old daughter. If I didn’t have a miscarriage at 21, i’d have an 11 year old. These things... Hard to comprehend.

Learning moment right there.

*Reads title* Wow this is fucked up.

Yep. That’s what I got from this immediately. I know Raven is pretty well known for saying dumb things and gets accused of being New Black a lot for good reason but this post seems off the mark and kind of mean to me. Look at the picture they chose. Come on. This is just knee-jerk hate because ‘Raven Simone’. Raven…

She’s saying:

Exactly. Most college students don’t even have fully formed brains yet, legal age of adulthood be damned.

In terms of housing situations, sadly, in most colleges nothing gets done unless parents get involved. College students are often patted on the head when they bring up issues of feeling unsafe in their room with their roommate and told to “work it out.” My freshman year roommate regularly stole from me (I would see…

I don’t know if the whole “her child is an adult” thing necessarily holds water. While I definitely want to hear what her kid thinks before I pass judgement on the situation, her mom is likely the one paying all or most of the tuition. In effect, she is the University’s customer. I think that gives her the right to…

“part of it was watching porn and learning how to give a blowjob” What the fuck is going on????

You know she could be younger? Nobody knows she might be 18, people these days do not mature like they used to, people who are 25, 26, 27 still live at home and don’t act like adults, sooooooo who knows this girl could be one of those, but it still doesn’t negate the fact that this dude gets naked with younger people…

I don’t have all the facts regarding the story (none of us do obviously) so all I can do is speculate and I agree that the anonymous student is obviously an adult and that if she indeed had a problem with the requirement of nudity it would’ve been ideal for her to say something. However, considering everything that…

Sometimes that’s just what it takes to move bureaucratic gears. I had several instances during my undergraduate in which a call from my mother seemed to do more than any amount of form-filing or requests or emails on my part.

I didn’t have anything that severe, but when I was a sophomore the door to my dorm room wouldn’t lock. I notified the RAs, the student housing office, eventually security, and no one did anything. After three weeks my mom found out, called the school, and people were over to fix it in thirty minutes.

Schools regularly sit on their asses until parents are involved, even colleges, because a lot of the time college aged adults are still not financially independent. Sometimes you have to know when to call in the Calvary if you can.

Not only did I have a similar experience (in terms of administrators being uninterested until parents get involved), but college students... They might be legal adults, but most are adults in pretty much no other way.

Yeah, it’s not like there are any sexual assaults or anything going on on college campuses. Parents should just let their fully mature adult children handle everything, and not question anything that looks inappropriate.

I know this is crazy but there was an incident with a suitemate in college. Long story short, she was bipolar, went off her meds and refused to take them again. She even tried to harm one of us. Every single one of us went to the administration informing them of her erratic behavior and requesting that she be removed…
