        Did they ask you a question where you either had to narc on yourself or lie? Because voluntarily narcing on yourself isn’t honesty, its stupidity.

          Of course they asked about suspensions and expulsions, I wasn’t just writing in “and then one time, I stole candy from the store…”

          But no, I don’t really care about presenting a specific face to a specific audience. I engage in appropriate security around any information that isn’t mine to share or that could endanger a friend, but if I’m going to lose out on a school for being a supportive friend, I don’t want to go to that school.

          I guess there was a benefit in identifying that that school was going to be full of people who do want to lie about their behavior for their own gain, which I’m not interested in.

            I dunno man, the way you’re talking made it sound like you just freely offered up that information. How the hell am I supposed to know? You do you, but you’re doing yourself a disservice. Protecting yourself by omitting sensitive information doesn’t hurt anyone.

              Well, it’s a college application, so of course it’s a question they ask. They also asked about my grades.

              I’m not doing myself a disservice by being honest about my actions. To cover them up for my own gain is cowardly and makes the world a worse place, in my opinion.
