i'm on this site for one reason and one reason only. Becuase the things that happen to these people are some of the worst things that I've ever heard, and as a writer it's hard for me to think of things like that because, i guess, my life has never been 'f@$%ed'. Everyone that posts on here has little to no self-respect, even if their entries remain annonymous. My philosophy is that unless you died (which would make you unable to post) your life isn't over and you should be able to pick yourself up and carry on. If it doesn't kill you, it should make you stronger or wiser. From reading most of the entries on here, it seems like everyone else has a much bleaker outlook towards life.
OK, I'm the OP, let me explain why I fell for it: -I had very recently received invitations to join two legit honor societies (one I was just inducted to tonight at a formal ceremony at my school, the other has regular meetings and community service projects) -Believe it or not, I do actually have a 4.0 GPA as a junior and miscellaneous other qualifications, so being "accepted" to this honor society didn't seem to be a stretch or anything -As I'm ridiculously busy right now, I didn't Google it first or even look too deeply at their website, I just quickly completed the "application" (you go on their website, apply, and then wait to hear from them) which was free Once I actually got the "acceptance" I called my mom and told her about it. I got off the phone with her and Googled it to get more info about it (I'd never heard of it) and discovered it was a scam. I'm glad I did so because their "initiation fee" was 68 bucks, and I hadn't given them credit card info or anything yet. Obviously I felt stupid; I called my mom back a second later and told her. I'm just glad I didn't COMPLETELY fall for it... lol. I should have taken more time at the start, but #22 is right; I'm just lucky I didn't lose 68. I lost 10 minutes of time and a chunk of my pride. :P I was also pretty pissed/disappointed, but it's OK; I'm in two ACTUAL honor societies, so whatever... I don't need a fake one. ;)
