Graduating from college is no easy feat.

It’s so common to see married people prioritized above single people that we don’t even give it a second thought.

They are expected to …

‘She is distraught’: Mom takes away her 13-year-old daughter’s middle school graduation trip because she didn’t clean her room, texted her ex-boyfriend, and hung out with her friend too long at a school event
