[quote=Anonymous]Can you reverse engineer finding an internet post that advises against the topic? It's more hurtful coming purely from a parent. My son had to tell a friend not to cover a "house divided" sports rivalry theme in her "'Why School X" essay. Stale, obvious, common and also unappealing to people who don't care about sports. Really bad. She listened. Although with great surprise. Happy ending. She is at School X. This forum repeatedly covers how to deal with mental health, disabilities, challenges in essays. There is no consensus and participants never seem fully satisfied with those awkward discussions and their implications about truth telling, being authentic, etc. However, individual families hopefully share some common frameworks on what is authentic and what is cringy.[/quote]
