[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A different perpective:  when I was a teenager, I realized that I was gay. My parents were not supportive.  Having a guidance counselor I could meet with was incredibly helpful.  My parents were furious that she talked with me about this topic, especially when I entered (and quickly exited) my first relationship.  They went to the school, they talked to the principal, they tried to get her fired.  But she stood tough and while I wish she hadn't had to go through that on my behalf (I didn't find out about most of it til later), I am so grateful she did.  I know there are kids out there who literally owe their lives to her and people like her.  So without knowing what the advice or topic was that OP dislikes, I would struggle to blame the guidance counselor.[/quote]

I suspect this is closer to the truth of this OP than the college application examples. If it were the latter, OP would have no problem just saying that. Instead, she plays coy about it, probably because she knows that if she revealed the source of the disagreement, she'd be flamed six ways to Tuesday.[/quote]

Exactly.

Cough it up, OP.
What's the kerfuffle all about?
