My mum’s on a movie poster at my college—how do I handle classmates’ questions?

Well, first, there's a lot of different ways of handling this depending on the nature of the film and her role in it (if any).

But, first, WHY would people in your college know the woman on the poster is your mother unless you told them? This seems to be a problem of your own making.

I’ve actually coached a few students through very similar situations.

You’re balancing privacy, curiosity, and your own identity. A simple, calm script helps:

1. Prepare a one‑liner.
“Yeah, that’s my mum. She acted in a few films years ago. I’m proud of her, but I’d rather not make a big deal of it.”

2. Set boundaries if needed.
If questions get intrusive: “I don’t really want to get into family stuff, hope that’s okay.”

3. Shift the focus back.
Change the subject: “Anyway, how’s your project going?”

If anxiety is strong, talk with a trusted tutor or counsellor; they can support you if it becomes distracting or uncomfortable.
