Why the heck do these sites have to know EVERYTHING about you? I mean, seriously! I feel so bloody exposed! I want to help myself and my family with these scholorship things, but MY GAWSH! Cut it out! It's creepy.

I mean, I went to this one scholorship site and they redundantly asked me the same questions. Then they wanted to know about my parents marridal status...whhhhyyyy? Can someone tell me what scholorships had to do with that? I mean, I'm suprised they didn't ask me my social security number and that I have to "check this box and we'll have a spy camera placed right in your bathroom! You're a stalkers dream, kid!"

I mean, I really had to force myself just to do this stuff NOT because I felt too lazy to write for scholorships, but because I don't feel safe. They're asking WAY too much! Fo sho.

Someone wanna gimme a reason for this? It better be a good one! *shakes fist* O___o

Well i know that there is a scholarship for devorced parents, that are remarried, to each other, that might be one reason, but I would rather talk to a person face to face, not even in a letter would I give that info out.
So...we are all told in this world that we are on our own,....let me tell you something.....we're not alone....not anymore...we have each other.....

To be honest, you are kind of lucky they didnt ask you your ssn.
Because good scholarships don't really ask you your ssn.
Also, they have to know your family history, so they can ask things about you whether you are worthy to get a scholarship from that place or not.
