Help me. My sister is a freshman at Yale and her closest friend is one of the girls who was mentioned in that email that was sent out rating how the freshman girls looked. She’s not beautiful and she had really bad things said about her. The girl is now thinking about leaving Yale and my parents who are good friends of her parents are really mad. Here’s my problem. Both my parents went to Yale, my sisters there and I want to go to but now my parents are so mad that they might not even let me apply. They think that Yales really changed and that they shouldn’t be letting in students who would do this kind of thing. They’ll probably get over it but idk. My sisters pretty mad too and says that Yale isn’t even trying to catch who did this even when most of the students know. The newspaper did a story about it and says that Yale has given up trying to find out who did it and just wants to ignore it hoping people will forget. My parents aren’t forgetting. Help me givve them stories about how this never happens at Yale and is really rare. This is just a one time thing isn’t it? I’m really worried. My sister used to be on this website and got a lot of good answers to questions so I’m hoping it will be the same for me.
