Is it REALLY okay to be mean sometimes (be honest)?

Not like bullying or anything. Like when someone is cruel to someone to teach them a lesson which is harsh. Like giving someone at taste of their own medicine. My sister told me one time that she got very ugly with a bully that’s been a huge bully and making fun of other kids for their problems. The bully made fun of her best friend for having a bed wetting probably and really hurt her so bad so my sister got ugly and made fun of him for reading on a 1st grade level and can’t read. I was shocked that my sister did that and hurt. My sister is usually a sweet and genuine person. She was in middle school at the time. The bully she said was so embarrassed that she started crying her eyes out everyone made fun of her for not being able to read. But it was after school. The boy hasn’t followed anyone ever cents and start to become kinder and more respectful. My sister said sometime is it gonna have to be cruel to help someone to teach them a lesson it’s called tough love. That’s why you can’t be nice all the time. I still think it was very harsh I mean I don’t know why people have to be cruel to help someone like cruel to be kind. I was upset and hurt that my sister would do that but I guess it stop the bully from being a huge bully.

It is unfortunate but sometimes necessary.

@SW-User Why? I don’t wanna be mean. I get called a softie a lot and I have no hands to fight or stand up for myself. It hurts when someone is being mean or not happy that you’re there for them. 😭😭😭😭

@LaylaTheTallGirl I don't like being mean either but sometimes you don't have a choice if someone is being a bully

@SW-User Yeah I guess my sister did the right thing even if it isn’t so nice.
