The girl’s father chose to punish a teenage who made fun of her cancer-stricken classmate’s baldness. The daughter was caught off guard by the punishment, and her dad was caught off guard by the outrage after writing about it on Reddit.

Being bu.l.lied as a youngster completely destroys one’s confidence and generates uneasiness in public. At school, children are generally bullied by their classmates, who make fun of them based on their physical appearance, demeanor, or possessions.

Because of the rising use of social media, children are being bul.l.ied online, which has long-term psychological consequences. In today’s tale, the girl torm.ents her friend, unaware that her father would ask her to select her own punishment.

In 2019, Reddit user MasterOfGamepipoca wrote on the AITA forum about what he did to his teen daughter after finding out she bullied a girl at school.

While going into the heart of the story, the man stated that the mother of his kid was now his ex-wife. He did not speak with his ex before disciplining his daughter since he was the main caretaker.

Like many parents, he wanted the best for his teenage daughter. He disciplined her so that she might learn her lesson. Because he considered his penalty severe, the guy sought counsel from Reddit. The concerned parent revealed, «My daughter was recently embroiled in a school incident.»

The man’s daughter clashed with one of her classmates. Their argument arose because the OP’s (Original Poster’s) daughter was dating the other girl’s ex-boyfriend. The girl made an improper comment after knowing about their connection, which offended the OP’s daughter.

OP’s daughter harassed the kid one day since she was bald after cancer treatment. She mocked her in front of other pupils, sullying her reputation. According to the OP:

«My kid even took another girl’s wig off.»

When OP found out that his daughter had hara.s.sed a person with cancer at school, he wanted an answer from her. Nothing she said could excuse her actions, but he was curious as to what was going on in his daughter’s mind.

The teenage girl said that a classmate had made negative comments about her connection with her boyfriend. The OP acknowledged he was «disgusted» after discovering what his daughter had done. He went on:

«To make things worse, my daughter expressed no regret for what she did, claiming that the girl at issue deserved it.»

It didn’t matter to the OP what the other girl said to his daughter. His child, he believed, should not have degraded the girl by pulling her wig.

His daughter was given two punishment alternatives by her father. According to the first option, he would take all of her electronics, including her phone, and restrict her from using them.

She was required to have her hairdresser shave her head if she picked the second choice. The man suggested things to the teenage girl that she would never want to do. She had no choice but to determine her own sentence.

The man’s Reddit post was titled «AITA for cutting my daughter’s hair for bullying a kid with cancer?», implying that his daughter picked the latter choice. He made a Reddit post asking other subscribers whether he had done the right thing. He had no idea that the majority of redditors would reject his choice.

Redditor reginaphilangee1 thought the OP was to blame for failing to see what the other girl did to his kid. The Redditor pointed out that the OP’s kid could be advocating for herself, so he shouldn’t have punished her. The user also stated:

«Just because someone has cancer does not exclude them from being a bul.ly.»

Meanwhile, Redditor Ummah Strong gave another reason to establish that the OP was at fault, claiming that the penalty was excessive. According to the Reddit user:

«Your kid made a mistake, but bul.lying her will not teach her empathy.»

«The response was extremely out of control,» remarked Reddit user MinorSpider. Another commenter agreed with the OP that he was to blame and that he should not have imposed a haircut on his daughter since it might be deemed «viole.n.ce.» The Redditor further said that the OP should not have believed that the cancer patient was a «saint.»

The first piece of advice for parents who discover their child is bullying others is to speak to them and find out what they are thinking. Experts believe that questioning them about what transpired would help them to admit they made a mistake.

It is also suggested that parents question their kids about whether they believe what they did was correct. They should urge their children to consider the matter from the viewpoint of the bul.l.ied youngster in order to help them understand that bull.y.ing is a disrespectful behaviour.

Instead of pun.ishing them, parents should educate them on how to cope with similar situations in the future. They should assist kids in understanding that bul.l.ying is a harmful habit.

The majority of redditors believed that the father was to blame for punishing his daughter by shaving her head. What would you do in his situation? Do you believe he made the correct decision?
