| 0:00.0 | Imagine if everything you said when you were 15 years old was used in deciding whether you could get into college or get your job. |
| 0:11.5 | Well that's what's happening today. We're seeing colleges turn against |
| 0:16.7 | kids who when they were 15 years old made statements that they now regret, rescinding their acceptances, telling them they're not welcome on the college. |
