She’s Refusing To Punish Her Daughter For Rejecting A Boy At School Who Had A Crush On Her, Despite Other Parents’ Opinions
This woman’s 12-year-old daughter is currently in middle school and will soon be entering high school. So, the students in her daughter’s grade are getting to the age where they are developing crushes.
According to her, her daughter is very pretty, too. That’s why some peers have been crushing on her daughter and just bothering the tween in general.
But, her daughter actually hates the attention and just does not see the point in dating. This has pushed her daughter to become really blunt, especially when it comes to rejecting someone.
“My daughter is pretty popular at school, and there was an incident with one of the boys bullying her when she said no to the movies,” she recalled.
“It [is freaking awful] for her, and I feel really bad for her.”
More recently, there was another incident, too. She and her daughter attended the annual school picnic, which always happens before the start of a new school year.
Usually, the event is a pleasant afternoon that allows her daughter to hang out with her friends. Although this year, it was different.
Apparently, there is one specific boy in her daughter’s grade who has been crushing on her daughter for a long time. In fact, her daughter rejected the little boy’s Valentine all the way back in February.
But, the boy has Autism spectrum disorder, so she really thought it took him a bit more time to understand that her daughter just wasn’t interested.

“Apparently not, since he confessed to my daughter at the picnic, and she said no again,” she revealed.
She was nearby when the interaction happened, too, and overheard the entire thing. So, she tried to swoop in to bail her daughter out, but the boy kept trying to convince her daughter to get to know him. That was when her daughter finally had enough and snapped at the boy, saying, “Leave me alone, you freak. I told you so many times.”
Not long afterward, she and her daughter left the school picnic. And ever since the afternoon went sideways, she’s been receiving numerous phone calls from other parents.
They claimed that she needed to punish her daughter and teach her daughter about tolerance. However, she swears that she has.
“Yes, I taught my daughter how to reject people nicely and firmly. But it’s not working for that kid,” she explained.
“This has been the fourth time that she has rejected him. She made it so clear on Valentine’s Day, and he won’t stop.”
That’s why she decided to defend her daughter against all of the other parents. Nonetheless, the boy’s mother still gave her a call and accused her of being a jerk after finding out that she didn’t plan to punish her daughter.
So now, since so many parents think she’s in the wrong, she’s been left wondering whether refusing to punish her daughter for rejecting the little boy really does make her a jerk.
How do you think her daughter felt in this situation? Do you think her daughter deserves to be punished or not? What would you do?
