Wow, I can’t think of an action that warrants this retaliation. Way too harsh. Being ratted out for having beer underage warrants something like hiding foul smelling objects in her room. In extreme cirumstances, maybe switching hair dye out for her shampoo.
It sounds like he was more mad at his parents than her, do to his rant, and couldn’t retaliate at them.
Hmm, I’m guessing their ages to be…
Brother: 17
Sister: 14
Edit: Thought of a reason. If she had tricked his girlfriend into breaking up with him by planting false information, that would warrant this. Not snitching.
That was a huge overreaction from the brother. Punishment from the parents aside, he doesn’t even suffer any social setback since he’ll just get sympathy from his friends.
As far as I can tell the parents don’t know about the list yet, unless they monitor their kids internet use. But the girl is a social pariah to her friends now.
Classmates? What kind of tattling are you talking about with classmates? If cheating, yes there should be tattling. When you get to college and later schooling, cheating deals with accreditation. If a school is known for cheating which can be proven and does nothing about it, that school can lose its accreditation. If a school loses its accreditation, that degree is worthless. With law schools, accreditation is even more important; I think Baylor Law is in a cheating mess right now and might lose its ABA accreditation. If ABA accreditation is lost, you can’t sit for the Bar. If you can’t sit for the Bar, you can’t be a lawyer. So, when it comes to ratting out classmates, in higher education at least, there’s a very good reason to “tattle.” In regular schools, there’s the general issue of you degree being in disrepute. That’s certainly big for private schools.
She didn’t even do that much and actually, the list might not be true. There is only the assertion that its true. You’re also all overreacting with how you’re describing how over her life is. It’ll pass relatively quickly. The girl can’t really disprove the list nor can the brother prove it. He is not an objective partner in this ordeal. Therefore it just becomes gossip fodder.
I can’t believe all the STD talk in this thread considering no guy appears to have made it past 3rd base. The girl did nothing anyone in her age range doesn’t normally do.
While we don’t know the details of their relationship, I think Hades is right that this kind of shit tends to not come out of nowhere, just like the beer tattling didn’t come out of nowhere. This is a peg in a much bigger wheel.
The best way to keep people in line is to make sure the understand why they shouldn’t stab you in the back. This is an important lesson for her.
Most of us that are against the public humiliation don’t necessarily disagree with that point. We just think that if he was going to get back at her, he should have given the list only to his parents rather than posting it in a semi-public forum.
Why are his parents Asian? That’s the stupidest question in this thread. It’s not the stupidest one in RPGC history, but it’s close. As for why he’s using the computer if he’s grounded: he probably has a computer in his room. He just can’t socialize with his friends, obviously.
I’m pretty sure given the age of most of the people here the most of us aren’t virgins.
I meant why would he point out that they were asian. But why was his sister in his room? My guess is that she was probably doing the same thing he was doing to her.
I went to a Community College for two years, transferred to a State University for my bachelors, and the same university again for my MBA. There was cheating going on at all levels, varying degrees. Cheating was rampant as early as 8th grade, among my peers.
Nobody gave a fuck, not even the teachers, some of whom used test banks for their exams that were easily obtainable online or elsewhere.
Law school is different, because it’s a “protected” profession; they limit the number of people who can be lawyers to the intellectually elite so the profession can remain highly paid. So they can’t have cheaters faking their way through the programs.
In most normal college programs, which are really just diploma mills, you don’t blow your peers in. I never saw it happen.
You forget you’re in a forum of people mostly in their mid-twenties who’ve never made it to first base.
Or you could man up and just deal with it. You got caught out, big deal. Since she did something personal to you, do something personal back to her. Doing this just makes you a giant douchebag, immature and petty. It doesn’t make you scary, it makes you a bit of a shit.
I’m curious though, how do you mean ‘cheating’? Cheating in tests? Doing assignments in groups? Looking up answers on the interweb?
Cheating is any form of academic dishonesty, which should be defined on the class syllabus, student handbook, or somewhere else. It would include everything you mentioned, unless of course permission was granted by the instructor to work in groups. You’re supposed to be submitting your own work.
