I am really really pissed off and highly irritated at the confessions pages. Especially the NUS and Raffles Hall ones. I feel that it is thriving on the negativity of the students and it is not reflecting us students in a good way. All it shows is a bunch of students who are unhappy about everything in life and just get a kick trying to put others down by remaining anonymous. These are the true keyboard warriors in life. They lack even the simplest courage to stand up for what they think. And it is most probably because they know whatever they say are going to be baseless and definitely will be shot down by everyone else. And it is because of this group of people that those anonymity confession pages becomes an uproar.

Personally, I feel that there is a need for such a feedback channel. But people nowadays are just abusing it. Not only that, the admin is filtering it such that ALL the confessions that appear are one-sided. If you want to talk about fairness, where is the fairness in this? Everything that has been appearing on the confessions pages are either complaining about their student leader body or talking about sex life. Tell me, how does this value add your life? Personally, I already submitted at least 6 confessions and none of them get posted. Is that fair for me? Huh?

These confessions pages only highlight the lack of graciousness in today's students. If they truly have the concern for NUSSU, Engin Club, JCRC or whatever, they would have given constructive criticism so that it will be able to be worked on. And not just bashing the leaders for every single fault that happened, even if it has no direct link to them. NUS students, please grow up.
