Pretending to be accepted into university?

[Anonymous]

My cousin who went on a tour of a university just to post on Facebook that he was admitted. Do people really do this? His mom posted him on the campus tour but no acceptance letter or email.

It's possible that your cousin is pretending to have been accepted into the university, which would be dishonest and misleading. However, it's also possible that there was a miscommunication or misunderstanding about the purpose of the tour, and your cousin may have mistakenly believed that he had been accepted.

Regardless of the circumstances, it's not appropriate to misrepresent oneself or lie about one's accomplishments or status, especially in a public forum like social media. This kind of behavior can damage one's reputation and credibility, and can also be hurtful to others who may be genuinely proud of their accomplishments or struggling with their own rejections or setbacks.

It's important to approach social media with honesty and integrity, and to resist the temptation to present a false or exaggerated version of oneself for the sake of likes or attention. Instead, focus on building genuine and meaningful connections with others, and sharing your authentic experiences and accomplishments in a respectful and humble way.
