Basically every aspect of your life, from high school onwards, is well-documented on the internet. And they are going to see that, and believe that they’re going to judge the hell out of it.

Family members who make you feel terribly about yourself, who contribute nothing to your life, and whose only connection to you is genetics at this point.
