My friend is being forced into a marriage after I sent a very illicit picture of himself to her abusive ex as a joke with her approval and it sent him into a rage and now his dad is forcing her to marry his son after she turns 18 and I can’t help but feel bad and I really want to fix this for her as much I can but there’s not much I can do

I (17F) have known my friend (16M) for two years now. While he and I aren't extremely close, we still enjoy hanging out and get along well 90% of the time. However, he is easily offended and he will often alienate himself from our friend group for days if he's upset. Last week, another friend (16F) and I were having a conversation about the way women are treated in modern society. The man vs. bear situation came up, and my male friend then butted in it was the stupidest situation he had ever heard of. He proceeded to try to apply logic to this highly hypothetical situation, not able to comprehend why a woman would chose a bear that could kill her over a man that could possibly help her. My female friends and I attempted to explain the thought process many women had that caused them to chose the bear. I mentioned that many women feared strange men due to many possible negative outcomes. He claimed I was being irrational and ridiculous. I retorted and said he was simply blinded by the privilege of being a wealthy white male. Afterwards, he didn't come hang out with us at lunch for three days. I really didn't feel bad at all for calling him out, and his best friend (16M) even sided with me. He's still sour about it. Now I feel like I might have damaged our friendship. AITJ?

TL;DR - My gf shared an idea for my fanficion. I rejected and offered a similar alternative, and she didn't like it. It's solely my fanfiction yet I can't even have it follow my own storyline?

I (M - above 15, under 18) am writing a fanfiction loosely based on the show Hazbin Hotel. I have received amazing support from the community as well as my gf (F - above 15, under 18), let's call her J. I have created lore for said fanfiction that I really don't want to change. It has sat untouched for months, and it would shake up my fan base to have a major detail changed.

I want to emphasize that this fanfiction means more to me than people think. It's the reason I do a lot of the things I do, and I am not afraid to flat-out reject bad ideas and have done so.

Enter J. She gives me an idea for the fanfiction involving her OC, who has the roll of God in this AU. I explain to her how her idea wouldn't work, or fit into the storyline at all. After some thinking, I found a way to have what she wants happen in a way that doesn't jarr up the storyline too much.

She flat out said no, which I'll admit, pissed me off a bit. It's my and solely my fanfiction, so frankly, I'll add whatever I damn well please.

But at the same time, I feel guilty for not being more open to J's idea, even if it does shake things up more than I'd like.

I don't want our relationship to be strained but idk what to do.

So hi my name fake Lucy and I'm am deathly allergic to Peanuts If I eat one I need my epipen or my throat will clench up and I'll be paraplayzied srry I don't know to spell shit lol but anyways this girl Jamia not real name so I always carry an epipen with me Jamia bully's me alot I'm small and have glasses and are kinda a nerd but one day during lunchtime I was at the line waiting to get pizza and her friend took my epipen out of my backpack to put it in her purse while another friend put Peanuts in my milk so I go eat and thankfully I keep a epipen hidden in my bra in case so I go sit down drink my milk feel something crunchy and look at jamia and her giggling and pull my epipen out my backpack to realize it's not there so I reach into my bra pull out another and epipen my self go tell a teacher and she goes to check jamia and her friends bag and they find my epipen so I walk over there grab by her hair in a way she can't grab me and take her to corner and start beating the life out of her so teachers pull me off and she goes to the hospital for 17 broken bones and a concussion so I get suspended for 5 weeks and my parents aren't mad at all. So I need to know am I the jerk?

Hi I just had an experience that I feel like I need to share so anyway my grandmother, Aunt and myself were shopping when my grandmother stopped suddenly and braced herself on a wall after a few seconds I realised that something was wrong so I tried helping her but she said no so understanding her wishes I left her alone while still standing close if she needed help. After a few minutes some strangers came up to her and asked if she needed help and she said no but they helped her anyway taking her back to the car and then they had the nerve to yell at me for standing and looking at her without helping. I know my grandmother and when she says that she doesn't want help she means it which is why I stayed close just in case she changed her mind which she didn't. Anyway a long time ago I was diagnosed with Autism spectrum and thanks to that I not comfortable speaking in public so I rely on my phone to speak to people by writing down what I want to say on an app then showing what I written down. Back to the story after these strangers yelled at me I tried writing on my phone and showing those people that I tried helping my grandmother but she said no but they kept telling me to not put my phone in their faces and one of the strangers even said that if they saw me standing around looking at my grandmother without helping her again then they'd kick me in my ass. As I said I tried telling these strangers the only way that I can that I tried helping my grandmother but she said no but they wouldn't let me defend myself so now I'm angry that they yelled at me for no reason other than obeying my grandmother but also being close if she changed her mind. So am I the jerk for respecting my grandmothers wishes.

When I was 10 years old my old school held various plays one of these plays was beauty and the beast, that was one play I went to and cried alot at however I was siting next to my teacher was very annoyed with my crying that she held me back from recess

Am I the jerk?

I apologise for my grammar

TL;DR: My old friend group was toxic, but I left them earlier this year to find better friends. They are not happy.

So I was in this friend group for about two or three years, mostly composed of my classmates. They were not the best people in the world, to say the least. Not only did they ridicule me for the smallest things or even having an opinion, they still had the audacity to ask for money every now and then. (They would say that they would pay me back, but never really do it, instead just give me maybe 60% of what was owed.) Even online, they would frequently kick me from the groupchat, only to be let back in when one of my kinder "friends" gave me the invite. Additionally, when playing games, they expected me to give them my best loot, and would call me a "loot goblin" if I did not comply. They often played cruel "pranks" on me in which they would steal my belongings and not give it back. One time, it took me a full month to find all my stuff again.

After going to a therapist, I realized they were why I had depression. It might sound bad, but to be honest, I was the kind of "lmao my life is falling apart" kind of depressed. It wasn't very severe.

Then earlier this year, at the beginning of the school year for us, we were assigned to different classes. They were mostly still in one group, but I was with other people...including some of my old friends from middle school.

A few months later, my friends from the old friend group asked me for the battle pass for the new Fortnite season. I declined and they called me greedy. I just laughed and said that they still owed me about $40 dollars collectively.

Before I start, I would like to clarify that, despite everything, I do not hold any kind of grudge against any of them. I enjoyed our time as friends but the way it all ended seemed very absurd to me and, although everything is now resolved and I have completely distanced myself from them, at times I think that everything is very strange and I doubt which part was really wrong. I am going to be as objective and neutral as possible, without modifying or exaggerating anything but telling it from my side. Obviously I will change their names out of mere respect and privacy.

All this started during the week of October 21-25 of this year, there was a school art show in my school in which my class was participating and, therefore, my group of friends and I. My group was small, but we were fine with that, we were 3 girls and 1 boy (that's me). In my group were Lili (17 years old), Mary (17 years old), Gabi (17 years old) and me (17 years old).

To make a long story short, the preparation for the show was a disaster. We were supposed to do a choreography with Brazilian samba songs inspired by the movie "Rio", but everything was completely a drama of stress and tension. It was Monday the 21st (the show was on Wednesday the 23rd) and we had nothing, maybe it sounds exaggerated but we were in a bad way. We were missing at least 3 minutes of choreography for the final song we chose, we didn't have the costumes we were going to use (which were simple overall, but we wanted to add some wings to give it a touch like in the Brazilian carnivals), we needed to define positions in the dance, the tricks weren't working out and we were all very tired and stressed. I felt very frustrated and overwhelmed since I really wanted our number to turn out well and beautifully, since we were the ones closing the art show and the final number.

That day we had decided that we would meet at one of my classmates' house, whose house was quite far from mine so we could make the outfits and move forward with everything for Wednesday; That day I was extremely stressed because everything was going wrong, I felt discouraged and exhausted, I had no credit on my phone so I couldn't talk to my mother to tell her that I wouldn't be going home that day and that she should pick me up at her house, I hadn't decided how I would get to my classmate's house, I didn't know exactly how I would get back to my house, in short, everything was wrong.

Have you ever had one of those days where you reach your limit? Where you don't want anyone to talk to you or come near you because you know you'll explode and treat the world badly? Well, that's where I was. I was stressed, overstimulated, frustrated, tired, listless, and wanting to send everything to hell. So I turned to my group of friends and asked them if they would also go to my friend's house (Gabi had a doctor's appointment that day, so she couldn't go anywhere), and both Lili and Mary said no; so I decided to suggest that we go to my house to make our outfits together so we could get ahead for Wednesday, which they both agreed to do.

After a while, Lili started insisting that she didn't want to go to my house and that she preferred to do it alone. Now, I don't want to sound mean, but Lili is complicated, she's the kind of person that you have to constantly remind and insist that she fulfill some responsibility that she has, because if she doesn't do it at the last minute, she'll do it wrong or maybe not at all. When I asked Lili why she preferred not to go to my house, she responded with "I'm not going to make it to take a nap" and now I don't want to seem reactive, but that answer was the last straw for me (I want to remember that it was Monday and the event was the same Wednesday), but at that moment I didn't say anything and I simply didn't respond. After a while, Lili comes up to me and yells in my face "CAN I DO THINGS AT MY HOUSE?" and I exploded, I had had too much, so I took a deep breath, looked at her and said: "Do whatever you want, Lili." That was it, I didn't yell or raise my voice, I handed her her wing mold and stayed quiet.

She and my group (who were with us when I told Lili that) stayed silent and didn't talk to me, for the next hour Mary came and asked me if I was mad and if I wanted to be alone, I told her I didn't want to be alone but I was in a shitty mood and I didn't want to treat them badly, so the rest of the day until we left they left me alone. The next day I didn't go to school because I had to do some studies, however, none of my friends even asked me why I had missed school. Later that Tuesday they sent us a notice that the fair was postponed to the next week due to weather issues, I thought that was fine and I let it go. At night, I went on Twitter to entertain myself for a while and after a while I saw that Lili had uploaded a Tweet where you could see a screenshot of a group chat of her, Mary and Gaby in which they left me out, talked about things and excluded me and talked about me; in short, I cried all night.

The next day I went to school and sat in our usual spot, I got there first so I waited a while until they arrived. After a few minutes they came and sat with me although they ignored me the whole time and even if I tried to talk to them they didn't answer me. I sat with Mary and after our first break she changed places, leaving me in the back alone and she sat in the front with the rest of the girls. That night they sent messages to our chat group asking me if we were still going to do the group work we had together or not, we started talking and they told me that I was the one who had distanced myself from them, that I had spoken badly to Lili and that I had "bad attitudes". Reading this I began to apologize since I really didn't want to fight because I really loved them and I didn't want to distance myself from them, however things continued the same the next day.

We agreed to talk during lunch and I had gotten tired of feeling alone and being sad, so during the day until lunch I went with the rest of my friends until lunch time came and I went to sit down and talk to them since none of them approached me. They continued with their plan that I had spoken badly to them and that I had distanced myself, despite my trying to apologize and pointing out that I had not thought it was good that they had left me so aside and had secretly formed a separate group without me, they only responded that "it was not secret", that "they should not tell me anything" and that "if they wanted to form a group without me, they would do it and that was it." At the same time they were angry because I had spoken about this fight with my other friends and that they "had nothing to do with it" and I responded that they had each other to talk about this problem, but that I had no one since they had left me alone, so I spoke to the one who remained by my side.

After a while they decided that they wanted to be on their own for a while until "the waters calm down", although I knew that this means not talking anymore, but I didn't care since I no longer wanted to continue with people who swore so much friendship with me and at the first sign of a problem, they would leave me alone.

So, since that day I haven't talked to them or gotten close to them. I've thought about it a lot and I'm aware that I didn't do anything really wrong, and everyone I told agrees with me, but I wanted to know what people here think, there are things that I didn't tell but that really didn't contribute much to the story. Although if you want, I can tell them and at the same time show you the screenshots of the group chat on the day of the confrontation, so for now it's just that, am I the a** hole?

Okay, so here’s the deal. I’ve always been a pretty gassy person—it’s just how my body is. My mornings sound like a brass band, and I’ve honestly embraced it at this point. Farts are funny, right? It’s natural, and I don’t see the point in being ashamed.

That said, my ex really didn’t see it that way. At first, we’d laugh about it, but over time, he started getting super annoyed, like my “factory” was some kind of personal attack. He’d make comments, roll his eyes, and once even told me I should “fix it.” I get that not everyone is cool with bodily functions, but what am I supposed to do? I can’t just shut down production entirely!

For context, I wasn’t out here deliberately farting in his face or making it a contest (well, not often), but he made it seem like I should be mortified every time it happened. I didn’t think it was that big of a deal, but it became this point of tension until eventually, we broke up—over other stuff, but I know this didn’t help.

Now, I’m wondering: AITA for not trying harder to hold it in or make it less of a thing? Should I have been more apologetic about it, or is this just who I am, and he couldn’t handle it?

Be honest, Reddit—was I in the wrong for not taking this more seriously?

So I am currently at home and when I was trying to sleep at around 9:30 I heard a phone call with my mom and my aunt. And my aunt was talking about a property how people are currently trying to buy the property when she wants people to rent it and on the phone call she started to start to change the conversation trying to guilt trip her and then my other aunt joined her and started explaining in a way ment to guilt trip her saying you don’t visit mom she doesn’t have much left. And you promised to arrive last weekend but you didn’t. My mom explains did not make that promise that she didn’t. Now she was telling my grandma saying my mom doesn’t want to visit you so now she wants me to be in hospice care because she doesn’t feel like she’s important “saying I don’t want to take my medicine and I don’t want to eat. I hope this stops and this gets resolved.

Am I the jerk F 14 for thinking my sisters F 19 and F 23 are weird for thinking that explicit drawings of minors is weird? Earlier this morning I was texting my sister and I made the joke "at least I aint a pro shipper. (I didnt actually mean they were) she got upset and asked me to say I was joking which is as so I did. I explained to her that I dont think people should be judged for what they ship unless is incest or pedophilia. She goes on to say it's fiction why should we care and I said we'll its still illegal. She said it's not so I sent her a screen shot of the american rules of porography or some shit. It says distributing or producing pornography of a minor weather it's art cartoons or paintings is still illegal. She brought up a situation where a 17 year old and 20 year old are dating. I said we'll it's okay of the 17 year old it turning 18 tat year or if they were dating before the 20 year old was 18. I dont care if there's an age gap as long as you're 18. She then goes on to say that was her and her ex boyfriends relationship. I replied "bb you a victim" and she said she wasn't. I then reminded her that when I was 12 and I dated a 15 year old she called me a victim. They then bring up boku no pico.

That's japan and I was born when it's made so I really dont give a shit about that. My other sister (F 23) starts texting me saying she will kick me out of her life if I go harassing or attacking people for what they like and sends me a bunch of messages. I told her that I wasn't attacking anyone and I had an opinion. She then starts spouting off saying she never said that, all she was saying is don't call people out or something. A few days ago I called someone out for saying they like anya from spy family. Not cause she's cute because she's 6 and said they wanted to fuck her. I called them out. She started raging about it and said something about the art cant consent. I said no but the creators can. She started saying that I think people are pedophiles for having porn in their shit like what... anyway I'm tired asf

I got angry with my older brother(14 years older) for suggesting random guys to go flirt with me. He would tell guys very personal details about me. Some of these guys got too close because of what he told them. He keeping asking me questions about what lesbian sex is like, if I like Black men, what I do in the bedroom, if I have an only fans, and plenty of other sexually explicit questions. I told him to stop, then argued with him about it because he wouldn't stop and told him to shut up. He became infuriated. Calling me ugly and telling me I would only attract Black men anyways. More guys badgered me because of him. If he kept talking about me, I would talk about him. So, I mentioned he intentionally brought a pedophile home when I was 12 and tried to get the pedophile to prey on me. Telling the pedophile our family put our girls in arranged marriages with older guys and that he genuinely thinks I'm bisexual. I also mentioned to others when my family moved into a new house when I was 14. He was in his mid 20's with a girlfriend and new baby struggling to find a place to live. So I told our parents to let him live in the old house, which they had plans of renting out. They let him live there rent free. What did he did do? He frequently came over with his girlfriend and both of them would harass me, steal my food, break my stuff, argue with me about the houses, etc. Because he was angry I got live in a new house and that I made him live in a shitty old house. I didn't make him do anything, but he constantly visited to argue about it. I tried to avoid this house. Since my parents did nothing to stop him. It was only when my dad's food and belongings were broken or stolen he made my brother and his girlfriend leave. My brother said I was an asshole for exposing him to neighbors and coworkers because he got me a higher paying job. He nagged me for 3 years to work there. There are a few guys at work, who feel bad for him. Not exactly the most moral people either. Then he ruins it by making more creepy comments about women.

My stepdad lived with us when I was 4 years old,I'm 13 years old and he despises me with every fiber if his body,one day he got drunk and arrived home,I was the one home with my mom at the time because my brother (16)and my stepbrother(24)were out at a basketball game.when he got home he started shouting at me and my mom it escalated so quickly that he didn't realize that he was genuinely scaring her,I stood up from where I was sitting and started shouting at him to get out and leave until he's sober.he grabbed one of the many empty beer bottles in his backpack and started swinging it around,he didn't even realize he nearly hit his own sonhe arrived 5 minutes before,he didn't realizeI was able to grab the bottle and get it away from him but he started throwing the other bottles at me,his son was able to stop him but he still had a bottle in his hand.he was swinging it wildly and he threw it at my mother! I instantly just snapped and drop kicked him in his hip and dragged him out and slammed the door shut,he's not home right now but from previous experience it isn't finished,I'll try to keep up the posts.

This happened several years ago and I still wonder if I'm the jerk. For a bit of context, I'm a 24 year old male, who loves playing video games. Several summers, my little brother, about the age of 8, was turning 9. He wanted a Nintendo switch but my parents said it was too expensive. I had a job back then, saving up for a Nintendo. I was excited when I was able to buy my first Nintendo switch because I wanted to become a gamer. When I bought the Nintendo, it was only 3-4 days away from my little brother's birthday. My parents heard the news that I bought a Nintendo switch, so the next day, they came in my room demanding I give my Nintendo for my little brother. I replied, "No, I worked hard for this Nintendo" which made them furious. They told my "little brother" deserved it more because I was apparently "too old for a Nintendo". This statement made mad and I told my parents I would not give my Nintendo and politely asked them to leave. I heard them talking to my little brother, explaining that I didn't want to give my Nintendo switch to him, which made him throw a tantrum. So, was I the jerk for not giving my brother my Nintendo switch?

This happened 4 weeks, and I'm still surprised by this encounter. A couple of months ago, I saved enough money to buy this beautiful house I've been wanting forever. My friends and family were really happy for me. Just 4 weeks ago, while I was at the front yard, a man and wife were coming towards me, so I asked them, "Hello, could I help you with anything?' and they said, "Oh yes, I want your house, this has been my dream house for years, but never had the money to buy it, so give it to me now." I politely told her, "no" and thats when she started to yell at me. Her husband also joined in and demanded why I won't give the house to them, and I said, "Well, I bought this house with my well earned money and I won't be selling it anytime soon." The wife started calling me slurs and THREATENED to sue me and said things about me not deserving the house and me stealing it. I told them that I would've called the police if they stayed, which then they ran away from fear. I told my family about the story and they were mad too. I hope I never see them again.

TL;DR I slapped a kid because he wanted a pokemon card for free and I got in trouble. So this happened in summer of 2024 and I was at camp in Maine and a kid started bullying me because I didn’t give him a pokemon card. I am an avid collector and so are many people at camp, one kid wanted a pikachu I had because it is his favorite and he was a spoiled brat so he thought everyone would give him everything and I said “no you can’t you have to trade” but he wouldn’t take no for an answer and eventually we had to do something else and him and all his friends (3 8 year olds) spread a rumor that I was a freak who beat him up and so everyone heard it (I was sick for 3 days) and when I got back I was treated like a freak so I went to that kid and said “was this you?” And he said yes because I did not give him the pikachu and he said he would stop it by giving him the pikachu but he didn’t so the next week I slapped his head as hard as I could and he got “hwurt weally Bwadly“ (as he said it) and I had to sit out for fun things (like a slip & slide and others) and eventually the rumor stopped since people realized he was a piece of crap but it still sucked but eventually he had to leave camp for the year because his school started early so good riddance. AITJ?

My dad took us out for a meal at a restaurant for 100 including a tip and I didnt talk much. I am an only child. I made little effort in conversations and only answers in one or two words. I do it all the time. My mum had taken us on a spontaneous trip for the weekend. It didn't cost me and my dad anything for travel because we both have vouchers. I'm angry a lot and it can be directed at my mum.

So I’ve had this said to me for a long time now, that basically I’m a bit of a jerk or I’m rude or people will get upset with me and say I don’t value them because I don’t reply straight away. Some people have said that they understand it and when they are with me I don’t spend much time on my phone unless someone calls me, I don’t have any social media except Reddit. If someone texts me and it has some sort of time frame like do you want to do this tomorrow, or hey want to grab some lunch in 30 I’ll respond quickly if I’ve seen the message. But if it’s just general chit chat then I’ll reply maybe hours later when I’m comfortable to be sat on my phone. I’ve said to people who get upset by this to just call me and have a chat, but 9 times out of 10 they will refuse to and say texting is much easier… I don’t know. Do I need to get with the times and just accept that the majority of conversations are now done by text message and that I need to start having my phone in my hand at most times, or do I have a right to take my time and respond when I’m using my phone which is typically (bar lazy days) let’s say once in the morning, then afternoon then not until after 7pm will I reply regularly because I’m at home relaxing, but then I might be occupied with something else and won’t reply until I go to bed and check my phone?

I honestly miss the days where minimal people had mobiles and you had to use the house phone and leave voicemails

Edit - thanks for the messages guys, good to know I’m not just turning into a sour oldie who won’t change.

I (23f) spent Thanksgiving with my boyfriend's (23m) family, and now my parents are upset.

My family has never been big on Thanksgiving. We've never had a traditional dinner together, and most years I've either worked or just done my own thing. Every once in a while, my mom will make food but it’s just there for us to eat whenever we wanted, we would never sit down and eat as a family. Also, this kind of ended during my highschool years.

This year, my boyfriend invited me to his family's Thanksgiving, but I initially declined because my dad mentioned he might invite his family over (which would've been a first). But when I followed up with my dad the day before Thanksgiving, he said it wasn't happening after all.

So, I told my mom I'd go to my boyfriend's dinner at 12 pm and she seemed okay with it. But when I was getting ready to leave the next day, my mom was cooking and told me “you better eat with your brother (27m) and sister (28f) before leaving to eat with another family, the food should be ready in about 2 hrs”. Its around 11:30 am, so I told her I couldn't because I wanted to be on time for my boyfriend's dinner, and also because I was bringing the apple cider for the dinner and his dad had gotten us movie tickets. But my parents got really mad and said I was "forgetting my roots" and that I'd chosen my boyfriend's family over them. If I knew my mom was still cooking and wanting us to eat together first, I wish she would’ve told me last night so I wouldn’t have told my bfs mom that I would be there to eat with them or go to the movies after.

I felt bad, but I still left. The next day my mom is still saying that I picked my bfs family over them and all this other stuff and I just honestly don’t think it’s that serious. Also, a while ago she said that she’s going to stop calling to check on me when I come in late after work past 7 pm because I told her I’m 23 and I don’t need her to call me if I’m not home by 7pm, which she took offense to, and now she is saying that this is going to be another one of the things she won’t bother me about since I see nothing wrong with not eating with my family first. I told her I’m not sure what that situation even has to do with this, and that she’s being weird and petty.

I honestly think my parents are just not used to their kids having a significant other and don't know how to react to certain things, because none of my siblings have ever been with someone before. I say this because there’s been so many other things that they are very overprotective about when it comes to my dating life/me spending time with my bf that I do not want to get into.

Also I live with my parents and siblings, and see and speak to them everyday, so it's not like I'm abandoning them or never see them.

TL;DR - Parents guilt-tripping me for spending Thanksgiving with my boyfriend's family, despite us never being big on Thanksgiving traditions.

So, here’s the situation: my family is pretty small, and Thanksgiving is always a big deal for us. We’re all close, but this year, my sister told me—last minute—that she wanted to bring her new boyfriend. They’ve been dating for, like, two months, and none of us have met him. I was hesitant because, first off, we don’t have a ton of space. We’re already squeezing into my little dining room, and I’ve spent weeks planning and budgeting for food. Plus, Thanksgiving is kind of sacred for us—it’s about family. My sister has brought random boyfriends to events in the past, and it’s always been awkward when they don’t stick around long-term. I told her I’d prefer to keep it just family this year, but she got upset and said I was being unfair and that he’s important to her. I stuck to my decision, and now she’s threatening not to come at all, saying I’m “ruining her holiday.” My mom thinks I should’ve just let him come, but my brother said I was right to set boundaries.

Now I’m wondering if I should’ve just sucked it up to keep the peace. AITJ?

Back when I was in 4th grade,I was bullied by this one entitled girl who thought she was boss. I ignored her but she got on my nerves when someone I was best friends with,was getting close to me. The Entitled Bully,who I would call A-9 Not Trying To Use Her Real Name,Was always trying to grab my shoulders and kick me. This cycle went on for years,I’m now in 8th grade and I just got some sweet revenge. A-9 Was In a argument with my friend earlier yesterday,A-9 was screaming at my friend over food because they bumped into each other and A-9’s Food Spilled Onto the floor,When I had ran up to them and had got them separate,that’s where the punching and kick to me started,A-9 Started hitting me with these weak punches and kicks that I’ve been having because of her,I grabbed her leg and yanked it back,then I screamed in front of all the students:”WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOUR SO F—KING CRAZY,EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR,YOU ACT SPOILED TO MY FRIENDS,ME AND MY ACTUAL FAMILY,ITS ENOUGH.” then when I said that,the entitled bully started screaming back at me like:”YOUR SO DRAMATIC,LIKE ITS NOT HARD TO IGNORE ME.” that’s the point where i snapped and finally punched A-9 Straight in the face. The 6,7,8 graders had stopped eating to look at me in shock and disbelief,nobody had stood up against A-9 since she acted so sassy. I thought it ended but It did not.

Update:I just got back home from school,I looked at my house and it was absolute destroyed,it looked like it had gone through hell. I looked at my cameras and it became worse,A-9. She knew my address since we used to be friends for just a little bit,she wrecked my house completely,I called the police and snapped for the second time in a week. This had gone so far and I was wrapping it up,I just got news that Entitled Bully A-9 Is In Juvinile Detention For Destruction Of Property And Burglary With Assault On That Charge Too. I don’t know how long but this has been wrapped up,she acted like a Karen when I tried to interview the judge about the proof on the situation,she screamed like a child when she got charged,A-9 Is Suffering 3 charges and her parents aren’t willing to bail her out for the dumb actions she did. Now I Live Happily With my girlfriend which was my best friend before.
