emotional abuse

Read a random definition: preexisting condition

A quick definition of emotional abuse:

Emotional abuse is when someone hurts your feelings a lot on purpose. It can make you feel really sad, scared, or angry. It's not okay for someone to treat you this way, and it can cause serious emotional harm.

A more thorough explanation:

Emotional abuse is a type of abuse that causes serious emotional harm. It can be physical or mental abuse that affects a person's feelings and emotions. Emotional abuse can happen in many different relationships, such as between partners, parents and children, or even friends.

  • A partner constantly belittling and insulting their significant other, causing them to feel worthless and unloved.
  • A parent constantly criticizing and blaming their child for everything, causing them to feel guilty and ashamed.
  • A friend spreading rumors and gossip about another friend, causing them to feel isolated and alone.

These examples illustrate emotional abuse because they all involve one person intentionally causing emotional harm to another person. The abuser uses words or actions to manipulate, control, or hurt the victim's feelings and emotions. This type of abuse can be just as damaging as physical abuse and can have long-lasting effects on a person's mental health and well-being.

W&L is pretty decent. The location is out in BFE, but they have decent placements and give a good scholarship

Their bar pass rate is alright as well (not the best, but not the worst). The employment rate is also decently high...while biglaw is certainly achievable, it will be a challenge (top 1/4 of your class, most likely)

@VolatileClumsyAcolyte: probably reached out to their S tier applicants first, you will need a bit of luck anyway so it is normal they didnt immedietly get back to you because that immediate response couldve been an R!!
