Have u ever been stopped by your family from making guy friends?

When I was about to start college my parents just gave me this whole talk about not interacting much with guys, don't share your number with them, don't go for outings with them

Like am I supposed to just not talk to 80 percent of the college? ( yes I'm into engineering) . What kinda backward thinking is that. How am I supposed to know their perspectives, their povs etc?

People in their first year of college who attend a college far away from home.

Is it normal for parents to come and pick you up during vacations? Or do people start traveling alone from first year itself? My parents always insist on visiting the city I have college in to pick me up, is this normal or too much Spoonfeeding😭

I am sick of those ' I traveled 4 countries before I was 19 ' , ' I became financially independent when I was 18 ' kinda posts. Does everyone feel left behind or is it just me?

I am 18 and every now and then I come across random posts on social media which make me realize how far behind I am from people my age. Alot of them are earning and financially independent and here I am studying for exams. It just really triggers me alot.

I am 18F and I want some life advice

I turned 18 a few months ago and am about to start college and begin a whole new chapter of my life. I’m a really rebellious person, and I just cannot stand it when people around me, especially my parents, unknowingly or maybe knowingly say some misogynistic shit.

Sometimes I even find myself questioning, “Why did I have to be born a woman in this shitty world?”

I have a lot of ambitions for myself, and I want to do everything that people say a woman shouldn’t or cannot do.

There are so many little things that happen in my daily life that irritate me to my core. For example, my parents randomly deciding what I should be doing with my life, and I just feel like I have no control whatsoever over my own life. Every timeline, every decision, every career move has to be approved by my parents.

On the other hand, I see my guy friends having so much more control over their lives. They can go wherever they want, they’re taught how to drive from a young age, and they seem to have so much more freedom.

What frustrates me even more is that my parents genuinely believe they’re very open-minded about gender equality, but they unknowingly do things that hurt me a lot.

I just want to ask all the lovely women here: how did you deal with things like this? How did you navigate the frustration of wanting independence while still having to live under your parents’ rules? And how did you eventually build the life you wanted and still make it?

Improvement exam marksheet

So I'll be appearing for improvement exam just because I'm a few marks short of the 90 percent mark , I just wanted to know if they provide a new consolidated marksheet ( with all five subjects and updated marks in the improvement subject) or do they just give a new marksheet for only the subject in which we appeared for improvement? If it's the later then will I have to use two marksheets everywhere? Seniors please let me know

Serious rant

So I got 84 percentile in jee this year ( 2.5 lakh rank) , I am very disappointed with myself and so are my parents. But somehow I still feel like I was capable of much more, I had been among the toppers up until mid class 11 and then I got really distracted. I had 98 percent in class 10 ( ik that doesn't matter) . Right now the situation is that my parents are sending me to an okayish college in ncr and I am not even getting a good branch there. My parents refuse to send me far away from home( for vit manipal etc) unless it was for a tier 1 college. I just have a feeling that I deserve a way better college and I am capable of much more, therefore I want to give it one more shot but are my parents are not at all convinced. I seriously cannot stand being that college and I just feel like I don't belong there, I just wanna give my best one last time so that I don't have any regrets, idk how to convince them, whenever I talk to them about it they suggest a partial drop but I don't think it's possible for me 😭😭😭😭

I am just so tensed and have developed a serious aversion towards going to a mediocre college like that
