[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like most posters just want you to spill the tea about the rumor....

OP, I was subject to rumors in college that still bothers me to this day. I've talked to a therapist about it and recommend that for your son. It's great he's talking to you about it. My parents never knew. I kept most if it inside.[/quote]

It's just hard to know what to advise without having more info about the rumor itself. [b]If the rumor is that OP's kid cheated on tests, that seems like one that's easy to get around. Cheated on a boyfriend or girlfriend - just, be a decent person, that one should be over fast. [/b]Raped someone while she was passed out - that one is harder to get past, and might need a different sort of approach.[/quote]

Neither of those would lead to him being a pariah in college. Seems like the accusation has to do with some form of violence, either carried out or planned. If he is being shunned by both males and females, it could be sexual assault or planned a school shooting. College age men are not going to care that you shat your pants once or got caught fapping in class. In fact, they’d think that was hilarious. But, they are going to steer clear of someone they have been told is a danger to others.[/quote]
