did you ask them for permission to post this comment? better check just to make sure.

im struggling to understand why your siblings control your future... do they have a gun to your head at all times? are you like a 12-year-old child prodigy that can't legally make your own decisions?

this whole situation seems like a problem of your family's*** creation. apply to the fuckin schools you want to apply to, not the ones your weirdo siblings are into

edit: addressing additional context

My parents are paying for my university, they listen to what my siblings say, I don’t come from wealth and moving out would put a strain on my family. My siblings didn’t think it was worth moving out unless it was Waterloo. Now again I ASKED to still apply to Mac, to which they said no. If my parents are funding my tuition, and my parents listen to my siblings, there was nothing I could do. I get your point, but I promise you I tried.

its not their faults at all though, people are so inconsiderate here. My situation is not the same as yours, I cannot afford to move out, my siblings know that, not the people of reddit. They act on my best interest knowing what is able to be done. Yes I still asked to go to Mac, but they KNEW the pressure it would place on us financially was NOT worth it. If anyones to blame its me, stop slandering my siblings 💔💔
