My aunt wanted me to look over her son's application essay. She wanted me to type up the conclusion paragraph as well since he struggled with it. Society makes a big deal about plagiarism, so I just fixed the grammar and gave a few tips on how to write a decent conclusion.
My aunt was upset. She phoned my mom and called me rude over the phone. Ever since then, my aunt stopped talking to my mom.
My mom became upset, and I became upset since I never wanted to sever her relationship with her sister, or see Mom get so hurt by this new silent treatment.
I felt bad and told my dad. My dad was on my side, agreeing that writing for anyone is looked down upon. He also said I don't deserve to feel demoralized and said both women (Mom and aunt) were upset for a stupid reason.
