Sister’s Ivy League Dreams Crushed: Was ‘I Told You So’ Too Harsh?

We’ve all been there: that moment when someone doesn’t heed our advice, and things go awry. It’s tempting to say ‘I told you so,’ but is it always the right thing to do? One person found themselves in this dilemma when their sister, an anime club president, set her sights on an Ivy League school. Despite the sibling’s warnings about the importance of extracurriculars and having backup options, the sister remained stubbornly confident in her chances. But when the rejection letters came rolling in, the sibling couldn’t help but remind her of the advice she’d ignored. Now, the internet is weighing in on whether this response was justified or just plain cruel.
