To think this was an overreaction

[savethestars]

To scream NO NO NO OH PLEASE GOD NO top volume because a 13 year old got a detention for a very minor reason?

Of course it is. Do you even need to ask?

That is an overreaction, but more details??

YANBU. I can’t bear the ridiculous overreactions that seem to be commonplace these days.

Erm... I’d say so, yes.

Yes. My dd got her first ever detention this week because she accidentally left a book at home. She’s the most obedient child in the world and was absolutely mortified, she was nearly crying when she told me. I felt it was ott but I just replied with ‘that’s a shame, try not to forget it again’.

Can I help you purple?

Who screamed it... child, parent, teacher??

Was this the 13yo or the parent?!?

Huh? I don’t need help thanks.

DD 12 just shrugs, she's only ever got detentions for really stupid reasons. It just means she's learning not to care about them, or about going to isolation. Is that what secondary schools want?

Good just wondered why the confused face

Parent screamed it

Total overreaction!!

If it was the parent, they need to bloody get a grip!! If it was the 13 year old, well, it wouldn't surprise me these days. To be honest, with some parents it wouldn't surprise me either!!

When my eldest got a detention at around that age, he had a right cob on. I asked him what he did, he told me, I called him an idiot and told him to get on with it.

Do you have to pay by the word to post?

You could clearly explain what happened and you might not get any more confused faces.

That was why I asked if I could help you as I gathered you were confused about something but since you didn’t tell me what I didn’t know what to say.

Parent screamed it

Then the parent is a complete snowflake. Great role model for the child.

They probably wouldn't cope at the Sistine Chapel

Bet the kid looks comfy in all that bubble wrap eh?

Probably not, although I think mostly OK with art and scenes of violence. Just parenting induces screaming fits.

@savethestars

can I help you @PurpleDaisies ?!

If you want sensible comments/posts from people, then you need to give all the information in your opening post, and not drip feed.

Exactly, Shiny

Could you make this any harder to understand?

So funny.
