Did this girl deserve this punishment?

Question

EmbraceThePain · Accepted Answer

Well, it depends on what this girl did that constitutes “bullying.” The term is perhaps widely misinterpreted and can be ambiguous to some. Was this the right way to teach someone a lesson on how bullying is wrong? Well, I don’t personally think it is. Yes, I believe there are instances where the best teaching methods are combined with certain actions that get a more emotional, fear, or even dramatic response but it shouldn’t be the only or primary method of teaching or lesson learning. I personally think less educated people resort to these types of methods. I believe it would’ve been better to sit this girl down and educate her on her wrongdoings. There’s no way to know whether she’ll stop or learn her lesson after her mom shaves her daughter’s head, but I think a more surefire way is to educate. I would sit her down and tell her why what she’s doing is bad and perhaps show her pictures and videos on those with cancer and how their lives are not too dissimilar to everyone else’s. There’s a lot that goes into this, which includes the life at home that this “bully” girl experiences. I can perhaps go more in-depth on this topic but I’ll leave it at this. My father wound discipline or punish my brother and I using things like getting hit with a belt, metal measuring stick, etc. Did any of these things really work in making me a quality person? Well, no, I think we would’ve responded better to education. My father reacted emotionally, without thinking, just anger. My father didn’t know the science behind what he was doing or if it would really work for children. My father just reacted emotionally, just like this mother is doing with her daughter.

I think I would have shaved my daughters head, and also make her volunteer at a children’s hospital and talk to cancer patients. What I wouldn’t do is drag my daughter across the damn floor and shave it on a video to be posted on social media for the entire world to see. That video will haunt her future. Future employers will see this tagged along with coworkers and friends. It will tarnish her reputation for life when others see this. That’s bad parenting and white fucking trash if you ask me. Shave her hair, but do it in privacy and in a more civilized manner.

lol i remember watching a video like that (I think it was that very video actually) when I was like, 12 years old and just being traumatized by it for some reason, hahaha. Also what I dont understand is why is the girl just sitting there? Yes its horrible to bully someone who has cancer - its disgusting and heartbreaking, but if my mother tried to shave my head I'd run the hell away, or I'd throw the hair shaver out the window.

On a more serious note though, I dont think that the girl really learned the most important lesson from this punishment. The only thing she probably learned was to be more careful around her mother, and to keep things like that to herself. She didn't learn any empathy for other people by being forced to have her head shaved. If I was told that my child did something like this, I'd make them understand that you can't judge people for things they dont have any control over, instead of just punishing them in a way that would cause them to fear me in the future.

I mean It's a good way to show her what it's like to be bald and to be made fun of. She's like placed in the victim's shoes and even then the hair is only a fraction of what she has to go through.
But I think a better way would be having her help cancer patients for a year or something, to understand and learn from them without suffering humiliation herself.

Nik1hil · Answer

I really don't have a stand on this..
What both the ladies did was wrong..

"Eye for an Eye" whole world goes blind..
I would have taken my daughter and first made her apologized that cancer girl..
Than.. Brought that cancer girl a wig of her choice.. And my daughters punishment would be that she works of the amount of wig and pays it to me..

Anonymous · Answer

Yeah probably.

She has taken a hard line but at least she is in there making an effort.

Daughter might be hard as nails already, this might happen all the time so whether she will learn anything or not I cannot say, but what i am fairly sure about is that that mother will command respect from her daughters friends when they come around for tea, because that lady is not fucking around.

Im doing that dude, your mum is fucking crazy.

crmoore · Answer

Did she deserve it? Perhaps. Why she was bullying her is relevant. Often times bullying is a result of someone feeling bad about something else and they're just bullying as a means of ventilation. She will certainly learn her lesson, but I'd imagine whatever caused her to bully has not been solved, it has merely been redirected and/or suppressed, neither of which are good.

Go Mom!

That is a brilliant idea from Mom. The daughter now gets some of her own medicine (getting "bullied" by Mom with the hair shaving) and she gets to get bullied at school for having no hair.

Sounds like a win-win situation. Maybe then the daughter will learn what it feels like to be different.

Go mom!

Máiiréad · Answer

I wouldn't shave her head. I'd force her to take a visit to the Children's hospital full of children cancer patients. We'd take a fucking tour. She'll learn.

SomeGUYonGAG · Answer

HELL YEAH!!! I'd would've whooped her ass though. I'm not going to tolerate bullying and I'll be DAMNED if one of my children is a bully. Kids these days are ungrateful brats and we need to bring back this style of parenting.

SydneySentinel · Answer

This seems a bit extreme. I don't know if she'd learn from it anyway. I might have her do some kind of community service or something. I'm not sure.

Dongtai · Answer

Punishing your child’s bullying by bullying them. No. It’s hypocritical. I’d question myself as a parent if my child never developed the empathy to never laugh, let alone bully the ill.

NickiB1 · Answer

not really. i mean it's fucked up what she did but she kinda went to the extreme. maybe if after her mother punished her and she continued to bully her maybe.

ManOnFire · Answer

I saw this on Facebook. Yes, I believe she did the right thing. You just don't treat somebody like that.

WomboCombo · Answer

Yeah that's fair in my opinion. She's not even a little girl, she's old enough to know better than acting like that.

slatyb · Answer

No, that's horribly abusive. More appropriate would have been some volunteer hours at a hospital.

Anonymous · Answer

Yes! It is the only way she will learn. Having got a younger brother that was traumatised by long term bullying, I think this girl has got off very lightly!

MannySimms · Answer

Yeah, and much more humiliation.

Secret6620 · Answer

I bet she won't do it again. Her hair will grow back. She'll live and she'll learn. 😇

Thatsamazing · Answer

The fuck is this stupid shit? Either post an actual news article proving this is real or stop stirring rumors and fake bullshit.

FýrdracaDócincel · Answer

We don't know what the cancer patient did to provoke the harassment so it's impossible to say for certain

NightOwl8801 · Answer

Made the point to her daughter when she shaves her head... now she's going to be made fun of and teased for having a shaved head

bamesjond0069 · Answer

Good mom. One of the few parents that dont let the kids run the household like most of the cucked parents these days.

LazyMan · Answer

This is an old story. But yes. She deserves double the punishment because bullying anyone is not okay.

tHISpLACEiSbONKERZ · Answer

It just shows why she is a bully, kinds are like sponges, they learn from actions not words.

BasicBad · Answer

This is a bit harsh. I’d make her volunteer at hospital.
