Do you think there is ever a time when you NEED to teach a lesson the hard way? You have tried to be reasonable with a person and they do not want to listen. Do you think then is a good time to teach a lesson a hard way? The most useful lessons in life are learned the hard way, they are never forgotten. Hi my name is Lily.... I learn everything the hard way...

Friday night I had this kid call me 20 in a 15 minute span. He was claiming I was some person who was sleeping with his father. I know the father yes. But am not sleeping with him. I text the father to let him know what was going on, and he said that it could not be his son, I was like well this kid knows both of our names AND even said the correct name of your son. And that if it does not stop then I will call the police and put in a complaint for harassment. Oddly enough after that, the calls stopped. For that night anyways. He calls again Saturday night and again Sunday night. I wait until this morning to call thew father again, he still proclaims that it is not his son, and refuses to do anything about it. So I simply text him back (the whole time we are texting each other) saying if you do not do anything, then I am going to take it up with your wife, because I do not put up with harassment from anybody. After you talked to this kid's father and you didn't get any results, I would just do nothing with the family any more......if the calls persist they are now legally harrassing.......there is an option where the phone company can track the calls that are made to you from their phone number....the authorities DO take harrassing and obscene and/or threatening phone calls seriously. DO be careful with YOUR calls to the father and mother so as not to be construed as making harrassing phone calls yourself!!! hope this helps, I've been there......done that..... |

Do you think there is ever a time when you NEED to teach a lesson the hard way? You have tried to be reasonable with a person and they do not want to listen. Do you think then is a good time to teach a lesson a hard way? Not particularly.. unless they are harming/hurting someone due to the error of their ways, I don't *need* to do anything. In my view, if called upon to, I think teaching a subtle lesson can be just as or even more effective than going via the direct route or being brutally honest whatever you want to call it. I find brutal honesty can easily upset someone, whereas 'showing' a person something in a subtle way- which they might not even click on to at the time- stands more chance of prompting them to reflect on events with clarity, later when they're alone and won't make them feel embarrassed, or that they've been told what to do by another person. Having said that, there are occasions where nothing less than harsh, brutal honesty will do to serve the required purpose. |
