One horror story I heard was about a girl whose parents wouldn't let her go on a school trip even though all her friends were going. They were afraid she'd get lost or something. It made her feel so left out and she was really sad.
One time, my friend's parents made him wear a life jacket even when he was just wading in a knee - deep kiddie pool. It was so funny because he looked ridiculous all puffed up like a marshmallow while the other kids were in their regular swimsuits.
There was this instance where entitled parents went to a restaurant. Their child was being noisy and disturbing other customers. Instead of disciplining the child, they got angry at the staff when they were politely asked to keep their child in check. They felt it was their right to let their child do as they pleased. It's really a case of over - entitlement.
One of the worst stories I've heard was when a teacher publicly shamed a student in front of the whole class because the student's parents couldn't afford the latest textbook. The teacher made the child stand up and said it was the parents' fault for not providing the necessary materials. It was so cruel and unfair as the family was going through financial difficulties.
The worst case I've seen was a young adult whose parents still treated him like a child. They wouldn't let him choose his own career path. They forced him into a field they thought was safe. He ended up being very unhappy and resenting his parents.
Well, once I went to meet my partner's parents. His mother was super critical about everything I did. I just casually put my feet up on the coffee table for a second and she gave me this death stare. Then she started lecturing me about manners as if I were a child. It was so embarrassing.
There are also stories of miscommunication leading to misunderstandings. A deaf kid might think their hearing parents are angry when they raise their voices, not realizing it's just a way of emphasis for the parents. However, many hearing parents learn to adjust their communication style. They might use more visual aids, like pictures or gestures, to make things clear. It's a process of mutual adaptation.
One horror story is when a mom wouldn't let her 16 - year - old daughter go on a school trip. The daughter had been looking forward to it for months, it was an educational trip. But the mom was convinced something bad would happen, like the bus would crash or the daughter would get lost. The daughter was so embarrassed in front of her friends and it made her really resent her mom.
One horror story is when a mom wouldn't let her 16 - year - old daughter go to a school dance. The girl had done everything right, had good grades and was responsible. But the mom was so overprotective, she feared for her daughter's safety at the dance. She made the girl stay home while all her friends had a great time. It really damaged their relationship for a while.
One horror story I heard was about an adult at work who constantly undermined a new colleague. He would spread false rumors about her work ethic and made her feel so isolated that she almost quit. It was a form of bullying that affected her mental health greatly.
One of my worst period cramps horror stories was when I was in the middle of an important exam. The cramps hit me suddenly and it felt like my abdomen was being stabbed repeatedly. I could barely concentrate on the questions and ended up having a really poor performance. It was so frustrating because I had studied hard but my body just wouldn't cooperate that day.
