My 11 yo brother knows not to do that stuff, the excuse of he’s young and confused is BS especially since the kid even stated he WANTED to take the pain killers and get high
Yeah, don't gloss over the fact that this 12 year old kid STOLE medicine to get high from his sick cousin. The fact that it's injection medicine, is so much worse. Not this kids first rodeo.
The fact that Andrew is **12** and actively took and used the drugs in an attempt to get high is super concerning, I had to go back and check his age again because that is not normal 12 year old behavior
Story 3: if the teacher thinks being Anemic isn't a valid reason not to give blood then I'm seriously worried about the kids she's teaching especially those with special needs. Plus op I'd drop the so called friends who said you were being "rude and disrespectful" to someone who was continously pushing and disrespecting your boundaries.
Those friends sound like they are either stupid or heartless. OP should not go against doctors order and jeopardize her health just to appease some tenured goblin on a power trip. And what the hell is OPs mom taking to where she agrees with psycho teacher? I’m glad her dad has her back. In her argument it sounded like she knew her dad would be the only one who would.
Maybe it's because the friends aren't the ones pressured by the teacher and wasn't anemic, so they figured it wasn't a big deal. Either that, or they are massive AHs.
ikr. It isn't like anemia is an obscure medical condition no one has ever heard of. And what student, in any situation much less one this egregious, tells a friend they are being rude to a teacher. Whole story is sus.
Either everyone else in the story is ignorant about anemia or they are a bunch of sheep following the wrong flock. OP does not need to go against doctors orders and put her health in jeopardy just to appease a tenured troll on a power trip. The people at the blood drive couldn’t accept her blood anyways due to her condition.
Personally I think the mom deserves a bigger score in the blood drive story. It's unbelievable that she's telling her own daughter that she should have just sat there and let herself be yelled at and harassed over her medical condition. From experience, my mom was incredibly fast to go to the school herself to set things straight. That teacher deserves to be punished. Harassing students into giving blood is so messed up, let alone forcing them to give a reason "Good enough" to skip out. And if a medical condition isn't a good enough reason, then what would have been? And what was she going to do? Try to march them down and make them give blood?
Honestly, the mom should have a higher score. You'd think as the PARENT she would be aware how bad it would be for an anemic to give blood. I also feel like it would be a waste of everyone's time if she tried to give blood anyway, when I would give blood, they would test your iron beforehand to make sure it was safe for you to donate. Best case scenario, she fails that and had to go back to class anyway. Worst case is they don't test her, she tries to give blood, and she has to be hospitalized due to severe anemia. That teacher needs to be fired, agreed.
@@misscuttlefish while I agree on this, I personally would've had a different response though I still think OP was justified my pettiness would be different instead of going to report her at the office. I would've just straight gone down to donate blood to get away from the teacher then actively told the people down there that I was forced by my teacher to come down but I'm anemic and she said being anemic isn't a good enough reason to not give blood. Then I would have the red cross or whoever people tell my teacher off and give the medical opinion on why that's dumb and then I'd report her. I give blood. All the time. And I still would've caused a ruckus if I was being forced to just because someone shouldnt be doing that.
So, for the breast milk story, I have a story. My sister noticed my niece had an eye infection. She took her to their Dr. My niece is only 9 months old at the time. The Dr asked her if she was breastfeeding still. My sister told him yes. He told her to put her breast milk onto my nieces eyes to cure the infection. Apparently, breast milk does have some antibiotics or something. She did this, and my nieces eyes were better by the next morning. It's bizarre, but it works. That being said, I would never let someone do that to my son without my permission.
Yes exactly, breast milk is really good to help with infections, acne, and it helps boost your immune system. But i also would get mad if my sister would do it to my child without asking. I would probably say yes tho if my sister would ask me.
That was my comment as well, Yes they are not the AH because it was done without permission, not your child.. But for Rslash to compare breast milk to urine, and say things like " I can't imagine adding fat sugar and protein to an infection is good for the infection " Even though he now has a child is wild I thought it was common knowledge about the milks anti bodies but I guess not.. He gave them an AH score based on " using your body fluids" not because they did not ask.
Yeah I think the asshole part is not asking beforehand and if she like regularly just does stuff like that then yeah ban her but like the ear infection trick was like a well known thing in my area so idk if she's being a jerk by trying to help.
For the first story, to be fair, its OPs home and she could store the medicine wherever she pleases. The kid was a guest in her home and stole something. OPs not the butthole and someone needs to get that kid in therapy. Edit: So I've been re-listening to these videos and a memory popped up. When I was 7 (my sis 6) we moved in with my grandmother along with my mom and my grandmother had insulin kept in the fridge to store and needles in the pantry because she had to take insulin everyday. At 6 and 7, we were explicitly told to never touch it without permission, like taking the medicine to my grandmother and we knew not to touch it. If a 6 and 7 year old can figure out not to touch medicine, a 12 year old is more than capable.
This! Especially because it sounds like medication that they use everyday, and that it is in a place that works for the family's routine. We use drain cleaner maybe once a week and don't lock it up (rSlash's example). But OP is supposed to lock up medication that they use far more regularly to the inconvenience of the whole family just because her butthole sister and nephew come over once in a while and because butthole nephew doesn't know to stay out of other people's medicine?!?
OP is NOT the AH. The Mom is. Emergency meds should not be locked away! It needs to be available for emergency use. If the Mom sues OP, I hope she loses big, and OP countersues and wins. 🤨
I mostly agree BUT at the point at which the kid brought her a box of needles that he found and started being really inquisitive, it probably would have been best to put those out of reach whilst he was there no? Agreed there's definitely other issues here and the kids Mum is not picking up on that either
Story 1: you know I'm pretty sure if CPS heard this story they would immediately start investigating your sister, because a 12 year old being that desperate to get high they would steel a very sick person's medication believing it's painkillers, and having enough knowledge to inject themselves with it would probably be a sign they might have done this before. 12 is old enough to know not to touch someone's medicine like that so if your sister does trying to take you to court I feel like a decent lawyer would not only get you cleared but also turn the tables on your sister being a very reckless parent that hasn't taught her child not to other people stuff,especially medicine. And since he specifically did this with the intention to steal I don't think it's fair to say OP's responsible because it's so clearly wasn't an accident, and of anything the sister needs to pay for the medicine her son stole. Just because people want to really lower the bar for this generation doesn't it mean they shouldn't be punished for making very obvious decisions.
Some 12 year olds are just dumb as crap. Take me for example: I saw a movie about heroin addicts when I was 12 and thought it'd be a good idea to try to inject myself with....crushed aspirins and vinegar. Emphasis on "try" bc I thought that sticking the entire needle in my arm would hurt too much so I just pricked myself with it a little bit. Sometimes it really do be like: monkey see monkey do
“He specifically did this with the intention to steal” And this right here is the part Reddit is choosing to ignore. Locking it up wouldn’t have done anything in this case. The 12 yo would have either found a way past the lock or found an alternative method of getting high More than likely the latter, but still.
Jesus christ lay off the Adderall. You have more paragraphs and spelling errors than you have punctuation. This reads like a 12 year old that just injected himself with epinephrine.
if he knows how to properly use a needle and extract a random medicine from a bottle, that sounds suuuuuper sketchy to me. Either it's super impulsive behaviour, OR, and I'd be worried enough about it to investigate, this kid has some real problems, and/or terrible role models in his life.
I knew how to use a needle and extract medicine from a bottle because my mom has freaking diabetes before the age of 12, it's not that weird to know. It's more concerning the kid tried to get high that way.
@@impishrebel5969 You know what, that makes sense! And yeah, it's still mostly the part where he feels he wants to inject himself with a random substance to get high.
@@impishrebel5969 Uh, if you don't know a diabetic... what are the odds that a 12 year old has that knowledge? Maybe he just looked it up on TH-cam but I don't believe he just happened to have that knowledge.
I would more or less be questioning the sisters parenting skills if a kid wants to get high at 12 year old. Something is obviously going on in this kids life if he is willing to inject a pain medication via needle into himself.
Story 3, trying to force someone, ESPECIALLY a minor, to submit to a medical procedure against their will is a huge crime. This is why the laws regarding informed consent were created and are so important. That teacher needs to be fired, frankly, for trying to abuse her position like that.
Story 1: if the kid is smart enough to know how to inject himself, he is smart enough to know he shouldn't steal medication that he has no idea what it does.
I would say that he should know better than to steal someone else’s meds while at their place, inject himself while there to get high, and not face repercussions. However his mom blamed OP instead. That kid is going on a downward spiral and mommy is going to keep trying to deflect blame. I hope OP counter sues his sister. I know he doesn’t want to take this route but this is a game she wants to play
Exactly and those meds shouldn't be locked up because op's daughter has lots of medical issues so what if there's an emergency and the blood thinners are locked up
The real stupid part is the fact that kid didn't even use google to find out, which of the vials has pain medication. Just take a photo, do some googling, then pick the right vial next time. He was actually lucky, because blood thinner is bad if you are actually bleeding. If he actually had found the pain medication, with this level of stupidity he would probably overdose. Even common pain medications, like Aspirin, are dangerous...
Omg same! That story set me off so bad, has this woman never had anyone in her life with severe anemia? Even if OP said ok to donating blood she wouldn't be allowed to. OP was right to report her ass and I hope the dad wreaks this teacher's world. How dare she the absolute audacity. I am also surpised at OPs mom, do you even LIKE your kid if you allow anyone to be that disrespectful to her?
I was too young. My classmate, who was on the organising committee, would ask me if I was donating only for me to ask her how old _she_ was. Claire was six weeks younger than me and knew that, so if Claire couldn't donate, I couldn't donate as the drive was no where near either birthday.
@@whatbear3804 yeah, the teacher should be fired if they're trying to pressure students into doing personal things they don't want to do. Or at the very least get some type of punishment.
It’s OP’s body so she can decline for absolutely no reason at all without being harassed by anyone especially her teacher. I think OP handled the situation in a very mature manner. There needs to be some form of disciplinary action against the teacher. Is this something she often does? If it comes to light that she is in the habit of pressuring students to do things such as this it opens up the school to a lawsuit. She’s someone who should not be in the classroom if that’s the case.
Agreed - especially because teacher is demanding personal medical information, which she has no right to have, in front of an entire classroom of students, which they have no right (and based on the posting no desire) to have. I'm glad the students stood up for OP. I hope the principal takes appropriate action against the teacher after OP's father has his say. I also agree with rSlash that teaching young people that they must give in to someone else's decisions over their bodies is a dangerous, and massively problematic message to give.
@@fdm2155 Edit: spelling mistakes. You're right HIPAA only applies to medical personnel (in the US, specifically, since there's different laws in other places that might similar/the same things). It's still utterly gross behaviour. And I do agree that OP was rude, but she was only bouncing back the energy. The teacher was rude and disrespectful first. Respect goes two ways, not one.
on story 4 with the breast milk there was an update. the aunt is a pediatrician and the breast milk actually is a very good medical treatment she most definitely still should have gotten consent from the mom before giving her anything
instantly had to pause the video to Google it myself and there are articles that said, "Breast milk is an easy solution that delivers a powerful shot of antibodies right to the site of the issue." but yes, consent is very much needed.
Breast milk is also great for eye infections. But yes, ask first. On the other hand, the aunt was not being sneaky and told the mom what she had done. I think the mom should have simply asked that aunt not do that in the future. Getting angry and fighting was unnecessary
But isn't banning a little extreme? That's like giving someone the death penalty for illegally parking in a handicap parking space. There should be consequences but let's not go overboard.
Story 3: what the hell is wrong with your mom and friends? This was a grown ass woman trying to guilt trip a teenager into giving blood after being told they have a medical reason why they cannot and how it's unsafe. If my nephew's told me that happened to them my first reaction would be the go up to the school and run after the teacher that thought it was appropriate disrespect my nephew like that I don't care if I'm not their parent. And if anything I think you handled that very maturely, this dumbass wasn't ending the topic so you took yourself out and file the complaint against her that is exactly how you handle a situation like that, not sit there and let her yell at you until she couldn't keep you in the room. Just because she's an adult does not mean she's automatically in the right when she is so clearly wrong, and your father not your mom should go up there and have a meeting with the principal to discuss how to deal with the fact that teacher is trying to go against your medical needs.
Sounds like OP knew he would have her back to begin with since she told the teacher if she had any issues to call her dad and not her mom. I hope OPs dad brings the fear of god on to this teacher!
I'm not legally allowed to donate blood, ever (sa victim, the perp was gay). And I would be on the hook for the legal repercussions. I've had a few teachers try to force me to donate, I few try to hold me down screaming. Plus the blood charities are allowed to sell the blood, but donors aren't allowed to be paid.
It sounds like the student handled it very well. It’s none of the teacher’s business! And to be so misinformed about anemia on top of it! Mom and friends should be behind her 100%!
@@BlueKitsune72wait, I’m so sorry, I’m confused, you’re not legally allowed to donate because the perp was gay? Is this a law or a case by case basis thing? I’m so sorry either way that that happened to you, and that teachers have tried to force you to donate before only increasing this issue, what is wrong with them? Either way I wish you well
3rd Story: Teacher gets 4.5 out of 5. Of ALL people, a teacher should be respecting, and even reinforcing and supporting when a girl says no, and understand that "No means NO!" Full stop. This teacher essentially was trying to bully or harass OP, A MINOR. This is bullying, harassment, and even abusive behavior. This teacher should not have had a job by the end of the day.
OP told the teacher that HER DOCTOR said no to her giving blood. Teacher said that was not good enough. What medical school did this teacher graduate from again?
Medical student here: Anemia is incredibly dangerous. If OP had given blood, she would have died, end of story. There are also different kinds of anemia, like sickle-cell anemia. If someone got sickle-shaped blood, then the recipient would die. Iron-deficient anemia, same story. OP is the person blood drives are meant to SAVE! That teacher was so far in the wrong, it's deeply concerning what she might end up doing to other students who cave to that kind of pressure from authority.
@@bleachfan2.029 Sickle-cell anemia actually works the other way around. The cells are stickier, they clump together more easily, and they can block important blood vessels when those clots can't be as easily broken up. If blood isn't clotting, that is called a bleeding disorder. It could be a result of too few platelets, leukemia, or HIV, among other things. All of those are reasons to not give blood.
Can we pause for a moment and recognize how adult and mature OP's response in #3 was? Seriously, she handled the situation with much more grace than I could have at that age. Addressed the bullying teacher, defended her completely reasonable boundaries and proceeded to attain the help of the administration and parent without escalating the immediate situation further. Given that the teacher was the bully, leaving class and going to the office to report the incident was absolutely the correct thing to do.
Teenagers and children in general can be much smarter than you'd think. *Can be*. Doesn't mean all of them are smart nor are they always smart about any particular situation but they have their moments too.
Story 1: 12 is that age where you can really easily spot red flags in a child. They're capable of adult level thought processes but not experienced enough to properly use them. A 12yo thinking about injecting himself w another kid's pain meds to get high is very telling about their life, whether that's at home or with friends. My best friend, back when we were 12, was getting big into the underage rave scene. He was going to raves with his friend group, getting into drugs, and just doing really stupid shit. His parents aren't bad parents (a pushover white dad and a fiery quarter-asian mom that played heavily into the tiger mom stereotype to her own detriment sometimes), and his older brother was a bit stuck up but a decent enough person. His oldest sibling, his sister, was a fucking nightmare to him bc she was Clearly dealing with some internal shit, and she took it out on her youngest brother a lot, sometimes extremely violently. He would go out and party all night with his friends to get out of a house that was rife with problems caused by his sister's instability. The drugs and risky behaviors were an escape from a situation that his parents couldn't even fix, and I'm amazed that he didn't end up like his friend that overdosed at 13. He only stepped away from that lifestyle because he missed my birthday and his dog's graduation from puppy school on the same day bc he was out getting high and being a dumbass kid. That 12yo boy needs a therapist ASAP. Whether the parents are at fault or not, this is a Big red flag that needs to be addressed sooner rather than later.
The last story I heard on another podcast and apparently the woman with the breast milk is like a pediatrician and works in medicine. Still ABSOLUTELY should’ve gotten consent from the parent… but at least she probably had good intentions. I feel like OP did overreact a bit. Google says breast milk actually can help an ear infection! Crazy stuff
I have a blood clotting disorder that negates me from donating blood, and if a teacher had done this to me, I would’ve started yelling because my blood literally isn’t viable for anyone else to use!
I have Reynolds phenomenon in my hands and feet and it was bad when I was a teen. I took medication for it. I tried before to donate blood and was told by them(blood bank/red cross) and my dr I should not donate unless for family with rare blood issues or extreme emergency. He actually made me go to the gym and give my info to the blood draw teams and tried to shame me in front of my classmates and school. The nurse took one look and said. She told you she has this blood/capillary issue and you choose to embarrass her and yourself in front of everyone. Woman was mad. Told teacher that health history is private (before hippa)and to mind his own business. My parents ended up going in too and he had to formally apologize to me in class in front of everyone I switched out of his class to different teacher. Left bad taste in my mouth for sure.
In my Navy days, they gave us a shot for Malaria before we went on deployment overseas. They said we could not give blood for two years. Less than a year later, I go to a tech school. Looking for the building to sign in, I accidentally walk into a building where a blood drive is going on. It's a gym, dozens of tables with sailors laying on them giving blood. A woman starts trying to sign me in to give blood. I tell her I'm here by mistake, trying to find the tech school, and that I can't give bllod and why. She blows up on me, asking why I came in then? Uh, I just told you! I walked out. Sheesh. 🤨
@@Emeraldwitch30Did you mean your teacher tried to shame you? I think you might have left a bit out. And I’m glad they came down hard on him for it. That was insufferable. I’m so over the power trips teachers sometimes indulge in.
Giving blood is a medical procedure. It has few risks but is still a medical procedure. The thought that a teacher is placing this pressure on children is insane. I would lose it as a parent if this was my child.
There are few risks for people who are well. In certain cases, donating blood can kill the donor. That's the scary part. Your blood can also kill other people in some cases as well.
@@shriekinggoblin3021 Very true. Despite having a highly sought after blood type I cannot donate due to pre existing health issues like the teen in the story.
@@MrPocketNerd I use to give blood till I got really sick and then had to get surgery and stuff. Now that I’ve recovered, I’m always tired and lethargic so giving blood is probably a bad idea so I haven’t even tried.
Story 3: Absolutely livid. Interrogating someone about their personal medical information is completely inappropriate for most everyone, let alone a TEACHER. I don't know how anyone could possibly take the teacher's side in this, but they ain't OP's real friends. The ones who stood up for her in class are.
Maybe because they don’t want to challenge the senior figure? This should teach them that someone in a position of power can still be a horrible person and should get repercussions for when they do wrong. That’s how child predators work, the kids don’t want to challenge the person in power of them, so they can get away with that behaviour until someone brave enough speaks out.
I don't think the issue of disrespect is an issue once OP calmly explained why she couldn't and wouldn't give blood and the teacher tried to pressure her. Teacher deserves no respect and so there can be no disrespect. Anemia is 200% a good reason for not giving blood. No blood bank would ever want blood from an anemic teenager, probably not even in an emergency.
The teacher seems like kind of person who just doubles down harder and harder when them being wrong is pointed out to them, like it becomes a battle to protect their own image of authority and rightness. These kinds of people suck, and they also seem to like to take positions of power. They can never be wrong no matter what and the lengths they'll go to can be pretty shocking. I mean, look at Putin and Ukraine
On top of that, if an anemic person donates blood, it will cause permanent damage and can lead to them needing a blood infusion. That’s why Red Cross and more are so insistent on the hemoglobin levels of the donators. I got turned away 3 times due to anemia, which I would later found out that I could have been hospitalized in a coma or developed a blood disorder if they had done so.
@@rickhernandez7666 One of the questions they ask before you give blood is about medical history. As soon as that girl mentioned anemia, they would have told her thanks and sent her back to class.
For the blood drive story: as someone who can’t give blood I so understand that frustration and I think if someone was pushing you that hard to disclose your medical issues, you have a right to go off. In fact, I wish she said more lol
The student did amazingly here. As a student, there is not more that can be done. She did everything right. You have to remember, this is the kind of person who will use her position as a cudgel. In fact, had OP not done what she did immediately and report her, it would have opened up a world of problems for her. I am speaking from experience as a student who saw teachers act like this (and was the victim in some cases), and as a teacher who has had colleagues like this and is appalled and sickened by it.
The first story is very bizarre. The OP is not the AHole, it is not like the kid found pills laying on the floor or counter. He literally had to go through an entire process of filling the syringe, finding a place to inject, etc. He stole the medication in order to get high at 12, that is insane!!! The mom turning on OP is 100% the A-Hole. Instead of being deeply concerned that her 12 year old son not only stole medication that he knew nothing about, but was also willing to inject unknown substance in order to get high at 12 years old!! As a mother my focus would not be trying to put blame on OP, it would be finding out why my 12 year old is so willing to inject anything they find into their body in order to get high.
I was 12 years old a few years back (Im not going to say my age for privacy), but i can confirm i wasn't that stupid, i was old enough to know not to touch random peoples medicine
I'm pretty sure a kid that age is able to read and find instructions online about how to do an injection. Like a lot of other posters say, it's more disturbing is WHY he wanted to do it in the first place. Was he showing off for friends? Or seriously depressed? He needs therapy.
@@julieb3996 if he is capable of looking up online how to inject himself, he also capable of looking up the name and seeing the medication was blood thinners and not a medication that gets people high.
Story 3: I think we sshould teach kids to advocate for themselves just like this kid. Honestly, if she kept saying give me a reason I would've just kept screaming "I'll die if I do this, I will DIE IF I DO THIS, YOU CAN NOT FORCE ME"
Unfortunately there's a whole line of people who think the harder they advocate the more they are 'acting out' or talking back and deserve to be corrected on that. Ya really don't get a lot of wins as a kid tbh.
@@manhathaway I know and it really does suck. I'm so so so glad that kids are being taught how to advocate for themselves nowadays tho and learning that you're allowed to say no and that's that. I wish I was taught how to advocate for myself growing up because alot of shit happened to me and my siblings because my parents didn't care about us being in situations that could've caused us harm
@@survivedandthriving exactly this!!! Kids shouldn't need a reason or excuse to say no to anyone, even peers and teachers. No means no and that's that. Especially if it was something embarrassing. We don't donate blood in schools in the UK, as far as I'm aware but I'm anemic myself and have the WORST fear of needles ever. This wouldn't be on with me and I would've left after the first time I had to explain that my reason isn't just an excuse not to donate.
Hearing rSlash shout "IT'S NONE OF YOUR F&£KING BUSINESS!" was amazing. Think it's safe to say he's gonna have his daughters back if she ever gets evil teachers like this one.
@@SoldierSpiderx Also whenever the families in these stories call OP awful and heartless for not helping someone, he then screams "Well, then YOOOOU DO IT!!!"
That teacher was incredibly out of line! OP absolutely did right, and I hope she doesn't end up like so many of us, myself included, that are afraid to buck authority when its actually wrong. Also, I think Dabney needs to check out Steven Universe regarding the magic healing spit... 😂
i’m very concerned for the 12 year old kid in the first story. definitely not normal behavior for someone that young. their parents need to get investigated for drugs in their home.
Or not even drugs at all, more like behaviors. Cause who knows what kind of abusive shit the 12 year old is going through in order for them to even want to do drugs. Cause there's always a reason why a person does drugs. Are the parents neglecting/abusing the child so much, they wanna do drugs to finally feel something?
I think the opposite (well for the 'that young part') he is too old and should have learned not to take medicine thats not for him, I think hes just stupid and did it because they showed him the videi of his cousin medicated and thought its funny
Story 2: no what she did was out of petty jealousy not angry, she wanted to upstage OP and it didn't work so she had a fit like a baby. I feel sorry for your husband and his siblings they are clearly so used to their mom acting like this they think this isn't a big deal and would rather enable her then hold her accountable. And frankly she's not entitled to your lasagna babe if you don't make it and people find out why then her party will be ruined because of something she did last get together. Just because your husband doesn't have a spine doesn't mean you have to give up yours, tell all of them you're not doing anything until you get an apology.
I have the mindset if hubby wants to humor his mommy dearest with the offering of lasagna then perhaps he should make it? A lasagna from scratch is expensive and she destroyed about half of it plus the vessel it was in. OP shouldn’t cook for them until she gets an apology from MIL. Spouse and the rest of the in-laws should also apologize for not validating OPs efforts and feelings.
yeah, and they all have the nerve to say that it was a "mistake". No, it wasn't a mistake, mistakes are made without intention, she did it on purpose. (well i guess it's like you said, and they believe that normal because they had to live with this behaviour since they were kids) OP should ask them to explain how that was a mistake and not a fit full with ill intent
The story about blood donation is insane. No one, for any reason, is obligated to literally give away parts of their body. The teacher should have to do some ethics training.
Fun bit of trivia, there is a couple mutants that use their bodily fluid to heal. Warren (Angel) can us his blood to cure any and all wounds and infections and Josh (Elixir) is a living panacea, tho generally his powers work by touch, he can also use AMY of his bodily fluids to heal. That said, they've both used their bodily fluids to heal, but they did the ONE thing the sister-in-law didn't, THEY GOT CONSENT!!!
@@nickwalco The TLDR version that I've read is that Angel can only do this with people who have matching blood types with him thanks to some Phalanx nanomachines in his bloodstream.
I was thinking about an old D&D holy relic that was a pair of boots that healed anyone who was hit by them. According to the lore, one bearer of the boots went around kicking people in the teeth to cure what ailed them.
@@nickwalco Yeah, it was introduced back in the early 2000's, it was introduced as his secondary mutation (technically tertiary if you count Archangel as his second).
Story 1: I'd press charges against the kid for stealing prescription medicine, AND call CPS because clearly something is going wrong in that household. I'd also get a locked medicine cabinet, to prevent things like this from happening.
I would not get a locked medicine cabinet, OP's kids are not dumb enough to steal the meds, I would just not let the kid back in the house. the lock on the front door is going to do a better job than a lock that can be broken into faster than it can be opened with a key.
honestly if i was OP i'd tell my sister to go ahead and sue me. and admit that her child stole prescription medication and did so to get high. its one thing to not lock away medicine, its a whole other ballpark to steal that medicine and try to get high off of it.
On the part about needles, I take daily medication and have been told that weekly injections would work better than the pills I take. But even at age 30 I am NOT comfortable injecting myself every week so I stick with the pills. I'm very concerned about what influences that kid has been exposed to to make him think that was a good idea.
For the anemia story, as a dad, I agree with OP's dad. She handled fine, left the scene of provocation and literal harassment from the teacher and followed through with an appropriate complaint. 16 year old OP handled it perfectly.
These stories are crazy- Also I wonder if his family can hear his screaming into the mic when he gets pissed lmao. I know it’s probably soundproofed or something but it’s funny to think about how his family reacts. “Momma, daddy’s yelling again” “Oh it’s just his work hun. He’s ok” 😂 Love your content hun! Keep up the good work 😊
12 y/o is old enough to google, and the kid presumably has a smartphone. Plus just taking a massive dose of what you think is a painkiller is potentially lethal, I'd honestly be a little concerned that it might have been a suicide attempt. I'd say the kid should definitely talk to a professional, and not just be punished for doing something stupid, just in case they are lying to hide what they did.
Yes, I thought the kid probably used Google to find out how to fill the syringe and inject himself. The fact that he wanted to do so is a huge red flag...
@@fdm2155 Yeah, it's very hard to believe that a member of gen alpha wouldn't think to google the name on the box... I guess maybe if they're paranoid about their parents snooping, and didn't want it in their search history? We can reasonably guess his mom isn't the most rational person. But seriously, 12? That's smoking, sneaking a beer, and thinking it's funny to try to get high sniffing magic markers, more than that just screams serious problem, like abuse, depression, something going on with an older friend/sibling.
If anything, I’m pretty sure this is a major HIPAA violation ETA: ignore that statement…I just talk to my partner about it, who is a little bit more versed in HIPAA laws, but it is a violation of her privacy and harassment
She wasn't forcing the student. She was trying to coerce her with guilt. That is still a big no-no, but not illegal. Nothing illegal occurred here. HOWEVER, the optics on this are REALLY bad. If I was in admin in that school, I would be doing some major damage control. If I were another teacher, I would be doing something to help the girl and other kids deal with this long-term. If I was a parent, I would be raising hell. This is NOT how a teacher should act. I have worked with people like this, and the students always come into my class asking me how to deal with it. I always give them the best solution I can come up with that will satisfy their need for pettiness, revenge and/or to respond in kind while ensuring they are not going to get into any disciplinary issues. Because that is the other problem with that kind of teacher: they will work hard to find a reason (i.e., the teacher at my school who didn't like a kid with an IEP and diagnosed disorder, and had him removed from her class because he couldn't keep his leg still and the charms on his shoe were jangling and annoying her).
First story, OP can go without a lawyer and easily win everything against her sister. It'll be on her sister to explain why her 12 year old boy would steal another kid's medicine with intent to get high and now how to handle needles. Which *really* needs to get investigated. If it means OP's sister loses her kids from it? It's going to be for the better
THT covered the last story and actually found that breast milk can heal an ear infection. but I still think a baby sitter should always ask for consent since… that’s wild lol
To add to Dabney's comment: a PICC line is not only "taped" to your arm via a dressing that covers the entry-site of the tube, the first inch of the line as well as a couple squared inches of skin to protect the patient from bacteria and any type of infections, but it's sewn into your arm because the tube goes straight to you heart/just above your heart and must not be able to move.
the 12 y/o in the first story is a tragedy in the making. the moment you read that the kid was trying to get high and knew how to inject himself is a HUUGE red flag and i definitely think the sister needs to be investigated or the 12 y/o needs their online time/friends observed
1 story: I lived with someone who had daily medical needs that required injection, and pills. You place thigs that are needed in locations that are convenient. The kid asked what it was told it was medicine, at 12 you know not to touch it. If the op sisters want to make a big deal she was there, not watching her own kid she is also to blame.
This is one of many stories that I will never forget from my childhood. it involves cocaine. My father was a hospital pharmacist. There are medical reasons for using pure cocaine in a patient. His pharmacy, in the hospital, had some, a different hospital needed some, but didn't have it in stock. It wasn't an emergency, so my father, being licenced and all that jazz, brought home the medical grade cocaine to transfer it to the other hospital (with all the paperwork). I was about 12 at the time. My brothers were 6 and 4. We were told, in a very stern voice, that this paper bag is NOT TO BE TOUCHED!!!! Guess what we didn't touch in the refrigerator? The bag of cocaine. The child in the first story has some problems. Intervention is necessary.
Story 3: That teacher is unprofessional and intrusive. With friends like that, who needs friends? Also, why wouldn't their mom not have her back? WTF? This story is weird. Also, rSlash, I appreciate your perspective on this.
@@kaykay8855 did you only hang out with the most uptight goody two shoe kids? Because the average child certainly knows what getting high is and want to at least try it. If not already have and want to do it regularly.
4:26 I dont think you paid attention in the 90s when they showed just how often children were overdosing because things werent properly locked up. Even if children are responsible, you never keep medicines easy to access for ANYONE except you (the guardian) or your daughter (the recipient) assuming it's legally advisable to let her as a minor. By not properly locking up medicine, you may be endangering your kids life negligently by providing crime of opportunity to thieves...which may turn into murder or assault of opportunity/necessity...wiring and medicines are very much in demand for theft , theyre worth the risk to life to the average armed thief. But yeah, legally you could be held reliable because it isnt about how responsible your children are, its about how youre depending on their responsibility rather than your own protection...which is your responsibility as a parent. So i dont think the hospital bill is yours, but a CPS visit may be yours!
A picc line is placed in the body, like a cannula for an Iv but in for a long time/permanently think for frequent/daily Iv infusions, chemo, meds. It’s not just strapped to your body, it’s IN your body
a 12 yr old boy injecting someone else's medicine into them so they can get high, that statement alone raises so many alarm bells and definitely makes me curious what the hell his mother is teaching or doing in front of the kid for him to want to do such a thing
Story 3: The teacher should be charged with endangerment and attempted murder. No in between. Trying to coerce a 16yo into giving blood when that would even endanger their lives. Disgusting.
Unfortunately, there is nothing here that is chargeable. A teacher trying to guilt trip a student is not a crime. Should she lose her job? If this isn't her first rodeo with admin along similar circumstances, yes. Should she be reprimanded? Certainly, and she should be made to publicly apologize to a student she harassed. Is she a disgrace to the profession? If all that is considered is this one instance, most assuredly and needs to consider a different profession.
God, I think my brain short circuited during the first story. Someone needs to figure out what's going on with that kid that makes him so willing to get high he's willing to inject himself at 12!
That kid is absolutely terrifying. He's smart enough to inject himself, smart enough to know what he's doing is wrong (didn't ask didn't tell, tried to hide it), and is somehow motivated enough to stick needles in himself to get high. When I was a kid I hated needles, and videos of people on drugs, even those funny videos of kids after the dentist terrified me. This can't be normal behavior, get the kid into therapy now.
That last story makes me holler. I am one of those moms who put breastmilk on everything but for my child, I would never put breastmilk on someone else’s child.😂
Even if the breast milk has healing qualities, OP provided her with the prescribed medicine and the instructions. She had no right to not give her the medication and inject her fluids into OPs child without consent.
Even if there was a medical benefit she was out of line to not give OPs child the doctor recommended medicine and give her breast milk instead. If she did this at her hospital she could lose her job.
Lol I am in no way a crunchy mom but I have heard that breast milk has antibacterial properties and can be good for things like ear infections. My sister in law used garlic oil out of garlic capsules for her kids eat infections. None of them were ever on antibiotics.. Now i would think your were strange if this just went ahead and put milk in my kids ear but I'm not going to have a cow over it hahahaha. Plus.... Huge difference between breast milk and, salve, and urine bahahahaha. Babies can say least drink the milk.
Right! I'm currently breastfeeding my son and if I have milk that sat out for a bit before I could store it or he didn't finish, I bagged it up and froze it for milk baths or rashes or such. The aunt should've called or messaged and said, "hey, breastmilk has quite a bit of health benefits and so I wanted to see if you'd be alright with me putting some in my niece's ears to help with her ear infections. If not, no problem, I just wanted to inform you." And left it at that... you never do stuff like that without consulting parents! That's like giving medicine that wasn't prescribed for the child to them and then telling the parents later!
(Lasagna): this was NOT a mistake. Your MIL is toxic-AF. Everyone wants to appease her so that she won't make a scene. I'm not you, but I refuse to be emotionally blackmailed, bullied, and controlled like this. And I don't care if ruins XMAS, weddings, and baby showers for decades: I'd call her out on her behavior, and I would tell her that I refuse to be controlled by her. Stand up to bullies.
It sounds like it would be best for OP to spend holidays and special events with her side of the family. Let spouse be solely responsible for any cooking, gift buying, etc. for his side of the family. None of them value OPs efforts nor as a person.
Doctor's orders aren't a valid reason? What? A student can't be forced to volunteer. No one can. Absolutely make a complaint. The friends taking the teacher's side are pushovers.
Story 1: NTA and I’m super concerned about how a 12 year old knows how to inject himself with a needle filled with unknown medicine. Also he’s 12 he should be old enough to know not to put his hands on something that isn’t his especially in someone else’s house, family or not.
1st story: she can't sue you. You didn't hurt the kid. You shouldn't have the needles in spaces where kids can get them. The 12 Yr old IS VERY STUPID. Thank GOD it wasn't a reused needle but he could've hurt himself so bad. NTA, don't give them a cent, if you can't teach your kids basic manners along with common sense (don't take people's things + don't take other people's medication!!) then realistically, that's on you.
I think in some states she has to sue for the insurance to pay out. I'm certain I heard a similar story before where a family member had to sue another family member over some injury because they couldn't afford the medical bill by themselves, but the insurance wouldn't pay without a legal claim. So the aunt might not have a choice if she can't cover the bill without insurance
Ah, remember now. An aunt sued her 12 y/o nephew cause he accidentally broke her wrist (I think?). Basically, what I remember most about the story is the interned going up in arms calling the aunt an evil Karen, when really she was very reluctant to sue and hated that she had to do it, but she couldn't cover the bill herself and suing was the only way to get insurance to pay
@@zilesis1it's the kids fault tho. He's stupid. Probably either depressed or already needing therapy for drug addiction at 12. Even if she can sue, she shouldn't. She didn't teach her kid not to take things that don't belong to you? I'd care more about my kid being safe than sueing someone else for my own sons stupidity.
@@crashawashereI'm not talking about whose fault it is, just that she might not have a choice. If I remember the other story correctly it wasn't about winning the lawsuit, just about filing it. It might be the case that the aunt will file the claim, send it to the insurance people to get the medical bills covered, then drop it entirely. In which case, I can understand why she has to do it If, on the other hand, she is genuinely intent on suing money out of OP then she's an unreasonable AH Basically, without knowing if the aunt *needs* to sue or *wants* to sue i can't say for sure how much of an AH she is
@@zilesis1 I think mommy dearest can't handle the fact her precious baby boy has a deep rooted problem and is deflecting anywhere she can. He's 12 and shooting up stolen drugs? Big yikes.
Story 3: It pisses me off having others say that she was being disrespectful, while being disrespected by the teacher in front of everyone. She's supposed to just sit there and be attacked by this woman because she's older and a teacher? Gtfo. I'd report her ass too.
Reminded me of a teacher I had in college. She said something very dismissive in response to an answer I gave in class, and when another student said, “Hey, that was kind of disrespectful,” the teacher said, “You saying that to me is disrespectful.” Like, what the actual hell???
Story 1: Would anyone else here actually pay money to hear the entitled sisters reason for the lawsuit? “Your honour, when my son stole my sick niece’s medicine and used it on himself he could have gotten hurt, and clearly I shouldn’t have to cover that” Yeah i’m guessing she’d get laughed out of court, also yes i agree it IS scary that a 12 year old did this.
@@fdm2155and OP even informed sister and nephew beforehand that those are his daughter’s meds as well has what meds she takes. OP should counter sue to recur the costs of the meds and syringe nephew took.
@@lorilancaster5917 It's so odd to me that the sister seems to be more focused on OP having necessary medicine and equipment for her chronically ill daughter than the fact that her 12 year old wants to shoot up narcotics! 😬 As Rslash noted, anyone might have potentially dangerous/lethal medicines in their home, medicine cabinet, etc. Most of us don't put non-narcotic prescriptions under lock and key. A 12 year old should know better than to take random medicine... not to mention STEALING medicine.
Oh, I'd definitely pay to watch that court case. That would be so hilarious. I'd love to watch the sister's face as she and Andrew get charged with theft, illegal possession of proscription drugs, and/or drug abuse and misuse. Because make no mistake: what he did was downright illegal. I have no idea what's going on in that household but CPS needs to investigate.
@@fdm2155yeah I mentioned that it another comment as well. Additionally the nephew was stupid to take the medicine at OPs home. He wanted to get high in front of his mom and the people he stole from?
About the first Reddit post, I don’t know how the child did that. I have a medical condition where I have to inject something myself every week. I need at least 10 minutes (on bad days, 30 minutes) to calm myself down and to be mentally prepared. I’ve been doing this for nearly two years and am still not used to it. So, I hope that that boy never takes drugs because the signs clearly show (for me, at least) that he could go that route.
I have severe back problems and have pain meds for it. My grandkids have never once even gone near my meds. They are kept up high enough that the little ones can't get to them though. A 12 yr old definitely knows better since he did it on purpose.
@@aduckofsomesortThe child probably going through something cps should be called. I myself(15) have tried to do painkillers to get high and I later got diagnosed with depression
Blood donation story: Wtf?? Why are people still teaching kids to not advocate for themselves?? I was taught to be polite/respectful to my elders to the point of anxiety. I'm _still_ trying to undo the damage.
Story 4: I 100% agree she should have asked first!!! However Breast milk is an easy solution that delivers a powerful shot of antibodies right to the site of the issue. Three to four drops of milk right into the ear is typically enough to treat the issue.
Yes and no. Still prudent to get a diagnosis first as infections can go behind the ear drum and just putting BM in the ear won't get behind the drum really. This is coming from a mother who had two children with numerous ear infections and they both had to get ear tubes put in at the same time.
Does it really? I only saw one website that stated that, whereas other websites, including the National Institute of Health, stated that drinking breast milk could reduce the chances. Yes, in both cases the milk ends up in a similar location, because they basically connect to the same location, but considering that one of the recommendations on the .gov site specifically advocates against bottlefeeding in the case that children are repeatedly getting multiple ear infections, that implies to me that it's a case of the source, rather than the actual substance. IE, fresh breast milk has no real chance for bad germs to propagate in it (unless the mother's sick), and as such the child has less to worry about for it getting into the eustachian tube than something that has had a chance for germs to proliferate.
Story 1: No kid at the age of 12 should know how to use needles on themselves! Heck, needles still stress me out even when handled by doctors. This means one of 2 things, 1. Someone taught him to use needles for whatever reason or learned it from somewhere, or 2. He already has access to drugs somehow...
A picc line is a type of IV, it runs from your arm to just above your heart. It's meant for more, long term stuff and helps to deliver medicine more effectively to you (it also makes blood draws a lot easier since there's no searching for a vein). I had one of these while in hospital last year (cause I was there for several weeks). It can be permanent but it can be removed. Also, imo, it's a lot more comfortable than a regular IV line, it doesn't poke and jab as much when you move. But yeah it's basically an IV line.
rSlash, a woman was actually arrested for going into Department stores, like say Winco, Fred Meyer etc. and opening Ice Cream cartons, licking the top of the Ice Cream, only to close it again to put it back for someone to buy with her germs all over it. They had to throw out the Ice cream. Even if this woman was a marvel superhero and her spit was going to make people magically immune to Covid, would that make what she did okay? My opinion: NO! 🤢 Also, putting bodily fluids in anyone's ear is not okay!
12 year olds are NOT that dumb. This definitely feels like something to do with the mother or some issues going on at home. Most 12 year olds don't even know that medication can get you high, let alone actually TRY to do it by stealing family members' medication. Does this 12 year old have a drug problem???
Story 1: NTA this is not your fault pure and simple also the kid stole from you to get high for a 12 year old to do that is not normal plus the reaction from your sister, missa think he's from a bad bad household.
Fun fact! The sister in law in the last story is a pediatrician. Still should have asked before doing it. And breast milk does help ear infections. Still wrong for doing it without permission.
Breastmilk is great for infections in general. It's not just fat and sugar but has ingredients from mom to help the baby deal with bacteria and viruses the baby may not have had prior exposure to. Penicillin is mold, so just cause it may sound strange doesn't mean it doesn't work. Still, don't treat a patient without consent, or consent of a parent if that patient is a minor.
Citation needed. DRINKING breast milk has been shown to help prevent ear infections in infants and toddlers, but I can only find quackery sites that claim that the topical use of breast milk does anything beneficial.
The blood story: the thing that gets me is that there were TWO OTHER STUDENTS that also didn't raise their hands. What made their excuses reasonable but not OP's?
It sounds like teacher doesn’t like being told no to where she focused all her energy on OP and lost focus on them. We had blood drives at school before but we’re not coordinated by the teachers so there was none of this shame for not donating
@@lorilancaster5917 Yeah, we had two blood drives a year at my old high school. I remember my biology teacher saying that there was nothing against us getting it done, but we'd get extra credit if we did. That makes more sense to me than shaming students for not doing it.
For story 3 I totally empathize with op. My mom can’t give blood, she has to take meds for a heart condition. I might be able to give blood, but I would have to stop taking my meds, which is dangerous because they keep me mentally stable. Besides that though, I just hate needles lol. I’ve had panic attacks when given too long between them prepping it, and actually poking me.
Story 3: mom and those other “friends” are stupid to take the teachers side, that teacher needs to be fired for trying to force a student to do something I love rslashes response to it
Story 3: NTA. Drop your so-called friends who told you to shut up and deal with it, what do they have to gain for siding with the teacher like that other than losing OP as a friend? And no, you shouldn't wait until lunch, the teacher might tell a twisted version of her side. Kudos to dad for taking your side though.
I know what they would say if I showed up to donate blood at the blood bank. Me: “Hello. I’m here to donate blood. Oh, I’m diagnosed with muscular dystrophy by the way.” Them: “Thanks for thinking of us, but we don’t want your blood. Good bye.” 😅
I'm 34 and despite having to inject my own medication once every week... still hate needles and nervous about them. I don't know how the hell a 12 year old could and would even know how to do that. That's crazy
The teacher not accepting a medical reason for not donating blood l, but wanting another reason to not donate is pretty wild. I bet if op said it goes against her religion the teacher would have accepted that. (Edit: ops friends that are divided are just another brick in the wall)
it doesn't even matter what the reason is, she shouldn't try to force people to donate , whatever the reason is. I don't like that kind of person, those who feel like they are oh-so-good willed and everyone who doesn't do the same as them are evil and selfish. its like forcing someone to donate money, the cause is good but forcing it just make you some kind of extortionist
I seriously doubt that the teacher would have accepted a religious reason, they sound like the type who thinks their own opinion is the only correct one and everyone else just needs to fall in line.
A PICC line is a tube that is inserted like an IV and goes straight into the heart to deliver harsher medications than an IV can't handle, Dabney, they can be removed. A permanent port is where you have something strapped to you all of the time and take it home, so OP got confused there. My sibling has had PICC lines, and now has a permanent port, because of their health conditions.
The main issue for the breastmilk story was the fact that the SIL didn't ask the mom first and explain that (apparently, according to some of the comments I've read) breastmilk does have infection curing properties.
Story 3: If someone doesn't want to donate blood, then just leave it at that! Is this teacher trying to get OP in trouble for not wanting to donate blood? Come on, OP owes nobody blood, everyone should know that.
Mom has to answer for SOMETHING in Story 1. Either she shoots up in front of him, she's mega, MEGA neglectful and lets him act up at home, or she somehow directed him to do this. Or she has a boyfriend or a friend who shoots up in front of him. Or something equally bad - a 12 year old kid doesn't just shoot up on random drugs with no outside influen e
Story #1 ‐ The nephew doesn't live at OP's house, and OP shouldn't have to protect her medicine from people who don't live with her, especially not a 12 year old. I'm not surprised the nephew knew how to get the medicine out the jar with needles. I am suprised he knew how to inject himself. That's scary. Also I would love to be the judge in the case that the sister brought. I promise my face would not be impartial even if I had to be.
I LOVE how enthusiastic you get about some topics. In this video it was about not giving blood, but I have seen it happen in other videos as well. It is so genuine!
i think theres a bigger problem in the first story than a hospital bill, its the fact that a 12 year old wants to get HIGH and that he was able to inject himself with a needle...yeah thats the bigger problem, also the picc line, i can relate...those things SUCK
Injecting yourself with unknown medicine is NOT normal behaviour for a 12 year old child.
My 11 yo brother knows not to do that stuff, the excuse of he’s young and confused is BS especially since the kid even stated he WANTED to take the pain killers and get high
As a kid I hated needles! I cannot imagine doing that, even in my sixties! 😯
Yeah, don't gloss over the fact that this 12 year old kid STOLE medicine to get high from his sick cousin. The fact that it's injection medicine, is so much worse. Not this kids first rodeo.
The red flags are huge for this one 😬😬
@@tibbynibbyna
The fact that Andrew is **12** and actively took and used the drugs in an attempt to get high is super concerning, I had to go back and check his age again because that is not normal 12 year old behavior
Hes just dumb he saw the video of his cousin and thought it would be funny
Story 3: if the teacher thinks being Anemic isn't a valid reason not to give blood then I'm seriously worried about the kids she's teaching especially those with special needs. Plus op I'd drop the so called friends who said you were being "rude and disrespectful" to someone who was continously pushing and disrespecting your boundaries.
Those friends sound like they are either stupid or heartless. OP should not go against doctors order and jeopardize her health just to appease some tenured goblin on a power trip. And what the hell is OPs mom taking to where she agrees with psycho teacher? I’m glad her dad has her back. In her argument it sounded like she knew her dad would be the only one who would.
Maybe it's because the friends aren't the ones pressured by the teacher and wasn't anemic, so they figured it wasn't a big deal.
Either that, or they are massive AHs.
ikr. It isn't like anemia is an obscure medical condition no one has ever heard of. And what student, in any situation much less one this egregious, tells a friend they are being rude to a teacher. Whole story is sus.
Either everyone else in the story is ignorant about anemia or they are a bunch of sheep following the wrong flock. OP does not need to go against doctors orders and put her health in jeopardy just to appease a tenured troll on a power trip. The people at the blood drive couldn’t accept her blood anyways due to her condition.
There's so many reasons not to give blood, including any and all medication. That woman is crazy.
Personally I think the mom deserves a bigger score in the blood drive story. It's unbelievable that she's telling her own daughter that she should have just sat there and let herself be yelled at and harassed over her medical condition.
From experience, my mom was incredibly fast to go to the school herself to set things straight.
That teacher deserves to be punished. Harassing students into giving blood is so messed up, let alone forcing them to give a reason "Good enough" to skip out. And if a medical condition isn't a good enough reason, then what would have been? And what was she going to do? Try to march them down and make them give blood?
I agree with this, the friends should get 1.5 and the mother should have 2-2.5.
Honestly, the mom should have a higher score. You'd think as the PARENT she would be aware how bad it would be for an anemic to give blood.
I also feel like it would be a waste of everyone's time if she tried to give blood anyway, when I would give blood, they would test your iron beforehand to make sure it was safe for you to donate. Best case scenario, she fails that and had to go back to class anyway. Worst case is they don't test her, she tries to give blood, and she has to be hospitalized due to severe anemia.
That teacher needs to be fired, agreed.
@@misscuttlefish while I agree on this, I personally would've had a different response though I still think OP was justified my pettiness would be different instead of going to report her at the office. I would've just straight gone down to donate blood to get away from the teacher then actively told the people down there that I was forced by my teacher to come down but I'm anemic and she said being anemic isn't a good enough reason to not give blood. Then I would have the red cross or whoever people tell my teacher off and give the medical opinion on why that's dumb and then I'd report her.
I give blood. All the time. And I still would've caused a ruckus if I was being forced to just because someone shouldnt be doing that.
@@misscuttlefish She only said she should have waited till after class to report. Not that she shouldn't have. So the score is fine.
So, for the breast milk story, I have a story. My sister noticed my niece had an eye infection. She took her to their Dr. My niece is only 9 months old at the time. The Dr asked her if she was breastfeeding still. My sister told him yes. He told her to put her breast milk onto my nieces eyes to cure the infection. Apparently, breast milk does have some antibiotics or something. She did this, and my nieces eyes were better by the next morning. It's bizarre, but it works. That being said, I would never let someone do that to my son without my permission.
I came to talk about this. And while this might be something to try with your own kids and their mother, it's not okay to do with someone else's kids.
Yes exactly, breast milk is really good to help with infections, acne, and it helps boost your immune system. But i also would get mad if my sister would do it to my child without asking. I would probably say yes tho if my sister would ask me.
That was my comment as well, Yes they are not the AH because it was done without permission, not your child.. But for Rslash to compare breast milk to urine, and say things like " I can't imagine adding fat sugar and protein to an infection is good for the infection " Even though he now has a child is wild I thought it was common knowledge about the milks anti bodies but I guess not.. He gave them an AH score based on " using your body fluids" not because they did not ask.
Yeah I think the asshole part is not asking beforehand and if she like regularly just does stuff like that then yeah ban her but like the ear infection trick was like a well known thing in my area so idk if she's being a jerk by trying to help.
@@MjaoZorhe’s pretty ignorant. Having a kid doesn’t make you smart.
For the first story, to be fair, its OPs home and she could store the medicine wherever she pleases. The kid was a guest in her home and stole something. OPs not the butthole and someone needs to get that kid in therapy.
Edit: So I've been re-listening to these videos and a memory popped up. When I was 7 (my sis 6) we moved in with my grandmother along with my mom and my grandmother had insulin kept in the fridge to store and needles in the pantry because she had to take insulin everyday. At 6 and 7, we were explicitly told to never touch it without permission, like taking the medicine to my grandmother and we knew not to touch it. If a 6 and 7 year old can figure out not to touch medicine, a 12 year old is more than capable.
Especially for a 12 YEAR OLD, like he's not 5 he should very well know that he shouldn't touch medicine without permission
This! Especially because it sounds like medication that they use everyday, and that it is in a place that works for the family's routine.
We use drain cleaner maybe once a week and don't lock it up (rSlash's example). But OP is supposed to lock up medication that they use far more regularly to the inconvenience of the whole family just because her butthole sister and nephew come over once in a while and because butthole nephew doesn't know to stay out of other people's medicine?!?
OP is NOT the AH. The Mom is. Emergency meds should not be locked away! It needs to be available for emergency use. If the Mom sues OP, I hope she loses big, and OP countersues and wins. 🤨
I mostly agree BUT at the point at which the kid brought her a box of needles that he found and started being really inquisitive, it probably would have been best to put those out of reach whilst he was there no? Agreed there's definitely other issues here and the kids Mum is not picking up on that either
@@gamerguy127Nothing is "out of reach" when they're 12
Story 1: you know I'm pretty sure if CPS heard this story they would immediately start investigating your sister, because a 12 year old being that desperate to get high they would steel a very sick person's medication believing it's painkillers, and having enough knowledge to inject themselves with it would probably be a sign they might have done this before. 12 is old enough to know not to touch someone's medicine like that so if your sister does trying to take you to court I feel like a decent lawyer would not only get you cleared but also turn the tables on your sister being a very reckless parent that hasn't taught her child not to other people stuff,especially medicine.
And since he specifically did this with the intention to steal I don't think it's fair to say OP's responsible because it's so clearly wasn't an accident, and of anything the sister needs to pay for the medicine her son stole. Just because people want to really lower the bar for this generation doesn't it mean they shouldn't be punished for making very obvious decisions.
I was trying to get high when I was young, to emulate my mother, and to escape my life. Drug use is a symptom of deeper issues.
If the sister did get a hospital bill, it makes you wonder why the latter didn't call CPS themselves.
Some 12 year olds are just dumb as crap. Take me for example: I saw a movie about heroin addicts when I was 12 and thought it'd be a good idea to try to inject myself with....crushed aspirins and vinegar. Emphasis on "try" bc I thought that sticking the entire needle in my arm would hurt too much so I just pricked myself with it a little bit. Sometimes it really do be like: monkey see monkey do
“He specifically did this with the intention to steal”
And this right here is the part Reddit is choosing to ignore.
Locking it up wouldn’t have done anything in this case. The 12 yo would have either found a way past the lock or found an alternative method of getting high
More than likely the latter, but still.
Jesus christ lay off the Adderall. You have more paragraphs and spelling errors than you have punctuation. This reads like a 12 year old that just injected himself with epinephrine.
if he knows how to properly use a needle and extract a random medicine from a bottle, that sounds suuuuuper sketchy to me. Either it's super impulsive behaviour, OR, and I'd be worried enough about it to investigate, this kid has some real problems, and/or terrible role models in his life.
I knew how to use a needle and extract medicine from a bottle because my mom has freaking diabetes before the age of 12, it's not that weird to know. It's more concerning the kid tried to get high that way.
yeah no way their parents aren't tweakers.
@@impishrebel5969 You know what, that makes sense! And yeah, it's still mostly the part where he feels he wants to inject himself with a random substance to get high.
I think it’s uncommon to how how to use a needle at that age. I’m surprised he knew to make sure there were no air bubbles, unless it was dumb luck
@@impishrebel5969 Uh, if you don't know a diabetic... what are the odds that a 12 year old has that knowledge? Maybe he just looked it up on TH-cam but I don't believe he just happened to have that knowledge.
I would more or less be questioning the sisters parenting skills if a kid wants to get high at 12 year old.
Something is obviously going on in this kids life if he is willing to inject a pain medication via needle into himself.
Story 3, trying to force someone, ESPECIALLY a minor, to submit to a medical procedure against their will is a huge crime. This is why the laws regarding informed consent were created and are so important. That teacher needs to be fired, frankly, for trying to abuse her position like that.
Story 1: if the kid is smart enough to know how to inject himself, he is smart enough to know he shouldn't steal medication that he has no idea what it does.
I would say that he should know better than to steal someone else’s meds while at their place, inject himself while there to get high, and not face repercussions. However his mom blamed OP instead. That kid is going on a downward spiral and mommy is going to keep trying to deflect blame. I hope OP counter sues his sister. I know he doesn’t want to take this route but this is a game she wants to play
He's extra dumb. Maybe in 1999, this would be regular stupid. But this kid most likely has a modern Library of Alexandria in his pocket.
Exactly and those meds shouldn't be locked up because op's daughter has lots of medical issues so what if there's an emergency and the blood thinners are locked up
I'm more shocked that the Mom wants to sue OP instead of chewing her son out for pulling that stunt.
RSlash is right, something's not right here.
The real stupid part is the fact that kid didn't even use google to find out, which of the vials has pain medication. Just take a photo, do some googling, then pick the right vial next time. He was actually lucky, because blood thinner is bad if you are actually bleeding. If he actually had found the pain medication, with this level of stupidity he would probably overdose. Even common pain medications, like Aspirin, are dangerous...
As an anemic person the 3rd story makes me so mad. I have been hospitalized because of it, it's not a joke. That teacher should be fired
Omg same! That story set me off so bad, has this woman never had anyone in her life with severe anemia? Even if OP said ok to donating blood she wouldn't be allowed to. OP was right to report her ass and I hope the dad wreaks this teacher's world. How dare she the absolute audacity. I am also surpised at OPs mom, do you even LIKE your kid if you allow anyone to be that disrespectful to her?
I was too young. My classmate, who was on the organising committee, would ask me if I was donating only for me to ask her how old _she_ was. Claire was six weeks younger than me and knew that, so if Claire couldn't donate, I couldn't donate as the drive was no where near either birthday.
should?
@@whatbear3804 yeah, the teacher should be fired if they're trying to pressure students into doing personal things they don't want to do. Or at the very least get some type of punishment.
It’s OP’s body so she can decline for absolutely no reason at all without being harassed by anyone especially her teacher. I think OP handled the situation in a very mature manner. There needs to be some form of disciplinary action against the teacher. Is this something she often does? If it comes to light that she is in the habit of pressuring students to do things such as this it opens up the school to a lawsuit. She’s someone who should not be in the classroom if that’s the case.
That teacher needs to be disciplined. The girl is completely in her right to file a complaint.
Agreed - especially because teacher is demanding personal medical information, which she has no right to have, in front of an entire classroom of students, which they have no right (and based on the posting no desire) to have. I'm glad the students stood up for OP. I hope the principal takes appropriate action against the teacher after OP's father has his say.
I also agree with rSlash that teaching young people that they must give in to someone else's decisions over their bodies is a dangerous, and massively problematic message to give.
@@survivedandthrivingAgree, this verges or is covered by Hippa regulations.
@@michaeltelson9798 Definite privacy violation. HIPPA only applies to medical provider I believe but I get your point...
That teacher should be punished and be made to make a PUBLIC apology to keep their job... if even keeping their job.
@@fdm2155 Edit: spelling mistakes.
You're right HIPAA only applies to medical personnel (in the US, specifically, since there's different laws in other places that might similar/the same things).
It's still utterly gross behaviour. And I do agree that OP was rude, but she was only bouncing back the energy. The teacher was rude and disrespectful first. Respect goes two ways, not one.
The fact that the 12 year old even KNEW how to inject himself is staggering, let alone his need to get high at such a young age.
on story 4 with the breast milk there was an update. the aunt is a pediatrician and the breast milk actually is a very good medical treatment she most definitely still should have gotten consent from the mom before giving her anything
instantly had to pause the video to Google it myself and there are articles that said, "Breast milk is an easy solution that delivers a powerful shot of antibodies right to the site of the issue." but yes, consent is very much needed.
Breast milk is also great for eye infections. But yes, ask first.
On the other hand, the aunt was not being sneaky and told the mom what she had done. I think the mom should have simply asked that aunt not do that in the future. Getting angry and fighting was unnecessary
@@gloomyaisuki Was this known in the 90s? I used to get ear infections when I was a kid and nobody tried that on me.
But isn't banning a little extreme? That's like giving someone the death penalty for illegally parking in a handicap parking space. There should be consequences but let's not go overboard.
Thissssssss
Story 3: what the hell is wrong with your mom and friends? This was a grown ass woman trying to guilt trip a teenager into giving blood after being told they have a medical reason why they cannot and how it's unsafe. If my nephew's told me that happened to them my first reaction would be the go up to the school and run after the teacher that thought it was appropriate disrespect my nephew like that I don't care if I'm not their parent. And if anything I think you handled that very maturely, this dumbass wasn't ending the topic so you took yourself out and file the complaint against her that is exactly how you handle a situation like that, not sit there and let her yell at you until she couldn't keep you in the room. Just because she's an adult does not mean she's automatically in the right when she is so clearly wrong, and your father not your mom should go up there and have a meeting with the principal to discuss how to deal with the fact that teacher is trying to go against your medical needs.
Sounds like OP knew he would have her back to begin with since she told the teacher if she had any issues to call her dad and not her mom. I hope OPs dad brings the fear of god on to this teacher!
I'm not legally allowed to donate blood, ever (sa victim, the perp was gay). And I would be on the hook for the legal repercussions. I've had a few teachers try to force me to donate, I few try to hold me down screaming.
Plus the blood charities are allowed to sell the blood, but donors aren't allowed to be paid.
For real. The teacher is sitting there thinking she is better informed than OP's medical professional who is privy to her health details. Idiocy.
It sounds like the student handled it very well. It’s none of the teacher’s business! And to be so misinformed about anemia on top of it! Mom and friends should be behind her 100%!
@@BlueKitsune72wait, I’m so sorry, I’m confused, you’re not legally allowed to donate because the perp was gay? Is this a law or a case by case basis thing? I’m so sorry either way that that happened to you, and that teachers have tried to force you to donate before only increasing this issue, what is wrong with them? Either way I wish you well
3rd Story: Teacher gets 4.5 out of 5. Of ALL people, a teacher should be respecting, and even reinforcing and supporting when a girl says no, and understand that "No means NO!" Full stop. This teacher essentially was trying to bully or harass OP, A MINOR. This is bullying, harassment, and even abusive behavior. This teacher should not have had a job by the end of the day.
Don’t forget that OP was under orders from her doctor to NOT donate blood, “teacher” needs to be fired
OP told the teacher that HER DOCTOR said no to her giving blood. Teacher said that was not good enough. What medical school did this teacher graduate from again?
Medical student here: Anemia is incredibly dangerous. If OP had given blood, she would have died, end of story. There are also different kinds of anemia, like sickle-cell anemia. If someone got sickle-shaped blood, then the recipient would die. Iron-deficient anemia, same story. OP is the person blood drives are meant to SAVE! That teacher was so far in the wrong, it's deeply concerning what she might end up doing to other students who cave to that kind of pressure from authority.
@@Artemisiathefirst thank you for explaining, I remembered a disease that made it so the blood wouldn’t clot but couldn’t remember the name
@@bleachfan2.029 Sickle-cell anemia actually works the other way around. The cells are stickier, they clump together more easily, and they can block important blood vessels when those clots can't be as easily broken up. If blood isn't clotting, that is called a bleeding disorder. It could be a result of too few platelets, leukemia, or HIV, among other things. All of those are reasons to not give blood.
Can we pause for a moment and recognize how adult and mature OP's response in #3 was? Seriously, she handled the situation with much more grace than I could have at that age. Addressed the bullying teacher, defended her completely reasonable boundaries and proceeded to attain the help of the administration and parent without escalating the immediate situation further. Given that the teacher was the bully, leaving class and going to the office to report the incident was absolutely the correct thing to do.
16 year olds are much smarter than people make them out to be.
@@WeeklyDoseOfCeleste let me guess...you're 16

Teenagers and children in general can be much smarter than you'd think.
*Can be*. Doesn't mean all of them are smart nor are they always smart about any particular situation but they have their moments too.
OP handled it perfectly
Story 1: 12 is that age where you can really easily spot red flags in a child. They're capable of adult level thought processes but not experienced enough to properly use them. A 12yo thinking about injecting himself w another kid's pain meds to get high is very telling about their life, whether that's at home or with friends.
My best friend, back when we were 12, was getting big into the underage rave scene. He was going to raves with his friend group, getting into drugs, and just doing really stupid shit. His parents aren't bad parents (a pushover white dad and a fiery quarter-asian mom that played heavily into the tiger mom stereotype to her own detriment sometimes), and his older brother was a bit stuck up but a decent enough person. His oldest sibling, his sister, was a fucking nightmare to him bc she was Clearly dealing with some internal shit, and she took it out on her youngest brother a lot, sometimes extremely violently. He would go out and party all night with his friends to get out of a house that was rife with problems caused by his sister's instability. The drugs and risky behaviors were an escape from a situation that his parents couldn't even fix, and I'm amazed that he didn't end up like his friend that overdosed at 13. He only stepped away from that lifestyle because he missed my birthday and his dog's graduation from puppy school on the same day bc he was out getting high and being a dumbass kid.
That 12yo boy needs a therapist ASAP. Whether the parents are at fault or not, this is a Big red flag that needs to be addressed sooner rather than later.
The last story I heard on another podcast and apparently the woman with the breast milk is like a pediatrician and works in medicine. Still ABSOLUTELY should’ve gotten consent from the parent… but at least she probably had good intentions. I feel like OP did overreact a bit. Google says breast milk actually can help an ear infection! Crazy stuff
Doesn’t matter what Google says she was out of line. Change the genders and you'll see just how weird this is.
So women can be creeps but out men on death row.. Ok sweetie,stay away from kids
As a latina I back this 💯 . Our people use it for ear aches and eye infections. I totally agree parents consent is a MUST.
I have a blood clotting disorder that negates me from donating blood, and if a teacher had done this to me, I would’ve started yelling because my blood literally isn’t viable for anyone else to use!
I have Reynolds phenomenon in my hands and feet and it was bad when I was a teen. I took medication for it.
I tried before to donate blood and was told by them(blood bank/red cross) and my dr I should not donate unless for family with rare blood issues or extreme emergency.
He actually made me go to the gym and give my info to the blood draw teams and tried to shame me in front of my classmates and school.
The nurse took one look and said. She told you she has this blood/capillary issue and you choose to embarrass her and yourself in front of everyone. Woman was mad.
Told teacher that health history is private (before hippa)and to mind his own business.
My parents ended up going in too and he had to formally apologize to me in class in front of everyone
I switched out of his class to different teacher.
Left bad taste in my mouth for sure.
In my Navy days, they gave us a shot for Malaria before we went on deployment overseas. They said we could not give blood for two years. Less than a year later, I go to a tech school. Looking for the building to sign in, I accidentally walk into a building where a blood drive is going on. It's a gym, dozens of tables with sailors laying on them giving blood. A woman starts trying to sign me in to give blood. I tell her I'm here by mistake, trying to find the tech school, and that I can't give bllod and why. She blows up on me, asking why I came in then? Uh, I just told you! I walked out. Sheesh. 🤨
And for me, it's my weight. If someone gives blood under 110 lbs, it could have negative effects later in life.
@@Emeraldwitch30Did you mean your teacher tried to shame you? I think you might have left a bit out. And I’m glad they came down hard on him for it. That was insufferable. I’m so over the power trips teachers sometimes indulge in.
My mom knew a lady who shoved pee diaper in baby’s face cause the acid from pee was good for skin in her mind
Giving blood is a medical procedure. It has few risks but is still a medical procedure. The thought that a teacher is placing this pressure on children is insane. I would lose it as a parent if this was my child.
There are few risks for people who are well. In certain cases, donating blood can kill the donor. That's the scary part. Your blood can also kill other people in some cases as well.
@@shriekinggoblin3021 Very true. Despite having a highly sought after blood type I cannot donate due to pre existing health issues like the teen in the story.
@@MrPocketNerd I use to give blood till I got really sick and then had to get surgery and stuff. Now that I’ve recovered, I’m always tired and lethargic so giving blood is probably a bad idea so I haven’t even tried.
I agree with rslash I'm in my late 20s and I wouldn't be willing to inject myself with anything
Story 3: Absolutely livid. Interrogating someone about their personal medical information is completely inappropriate for most everyone, let alone a TEACHER. I don't know how anyone could possibly take the teacher's side in this, but they ain't OP's real friends. The ones who stood up for her in class are.
Maybe because they don’t want to challenge the senior figure? This should teach them that someone in a position of power can still be a horrible person and should get repercussions for when they do wrong. That’s how child predators work, the kids don’t want to challenge the person in power of them, so they can get away with that behaviour until someone brave enough speaks out.
I don't think the issue of disrespect is an issue once OP calmly explained why she couldn't and wouldn't give blood and the teacher tried to pressure her. Teacher deserves no respect and so there can be no disrespect. Anemia is 200% a good reason for not giving blood. No blood bank would ever want blood from an anemic teenager, probably not even in an emergency.
The teacher seems like kind of person who just doubles down harder and harder when them being wrong is pointed out to them, like it becomes a battle to protect their own image of authority and rightness. These kinds of people suck, and they also seem to like to take positions of power. They can never be wrong no matter what and the lengths they'll go to can be pretty shocking. I mean, look at Putin and Ukraine
On top of that, if an anemic person donates blood, it will cause permanent damage and can lead to them needing a blood infusion. That’s why Red Cross and more are so insistent on the hemoglobin levels of the donators. I got turned away 3 times due to anemia, which I would later found out that I could have been hospitalized in a coma or developed a blood disorder if they had done so.
@@rickhernandez7666 One of the questions they ask before you give blood is about medical history. As soon as that girl mentioned anemia, they would have told her thanks and sent her back to class.
For the blood drive story: as someone who can’t give blood I so understand that frustration and I think if someone was pushing you that hard to disclose your medical issues, you have a right to go off. In fact, I wish she said more lol
The student did amazingly here. As a student, there is not more that can be done. She did everything right. You have to remember, this is the kind of person who will use her position as a cudgel. In fact, had OP not done what she did immediately and report her, it would have opened up a world of problems for her. I am speaking from experience as a student who saw teachers act like this (and was the victim in some cases), and as a teacher who has had colleagues like this and is appalled and sickened by it.
@@CSKaras slayyyyy proud of you
Dabney losing his shit is my new favorite part of these videos 😂
The first story is very bizarre. The OP is not the AHole, it is not like the kid found pills laying on the floor or counter. He literally had to go through an entire process of filling the syringe, finding a place to inject, etc. He stole the medication in order to get high at 12, that is insane!!! The mom turning on OP is 100% the A-Hole. Instead of being deeply concerned that her 12 year old son not only stole medication that he knew nothing about, but was also willing to inject unknown substance in order to get high at 12 years old!! As a mother my focus would not be trying to put blame on OP, it would be finding out why my 12 year old is so willing to inject anything they find into their body in order to get high.
I was 12 years old a few years back (Im not going to say my age for privacy), but i can confirm i wasn't that stupid, i was old enough to know not to touch random peoples medicine
I'm pretty sure a kid that age is able to read and find instructions online about how to do an injection.
Like a lot of other posters say, it's more disturbing is WHY he wanted to do it in the first place. Was he showing off for friends? Or seriously depressed? He needs therapy.
@@julieb3996 if he is capable of looking up online how to inject himself, he also capable of looking up the name and seeing the medication was blood thinners and not a medication that gets people high.
Story 3: I think we sshould teach kids to advocate for themselves just like this kid. Honestly, if she kept saying give me a reason I would've just kept screaming "I'll die if I do this, I will DIE IF I DO THIS, YOU CAN NOT FORCE ME"
Agreed.
Though, I probably would have been yelling 'it none if your freaking business' over and over again.
Unfortunately there's a whole line of people who think the harder they advocate the more they are 'acting out' or talking back and deserve to be corrected on that. Ya really don't get a lot of wins as a kid tbh.
@@manhathaway I know and it really does suck. I'm so so so glad that kids are being taught how to advocate for themselves nowadays tho and learning that you're allowed to say no and that's that.

@@survivedandthriving exactly this!!! Kids shouldn't need a reason or excuse to say no to anyone, even peers and teachers. No means no and that's that. Especially if it was something embarrassing. We don't donate blood in schools in the UK, as far as I'm aware but I'm anemic myself and have the WORST fear of needles ever. This wouldn't be on with me and I would've left after the first time I had to explain that my reason isn't just an excuse not to donate.
Hearing rSlash shout "IT'S NONE OF YOUR F&£KING BUSINESS!" was amazing. Think it's safe to say he's gonna have his daughters back if she ever gets evil teachers like this one.
I love the yelly ranting dabney.
I can imagine him yelling that at the teacher's face, absolutely embarrassing her.

@@SoldierSpiderx Also whenever the families in these stories call OP awful and heartless for not helping someone, he then screams "Well, then YOOOOU DO IT!!!"

Also, I think Dabney needs to check out Steven Universe regarding the magic healing spit... 😂
The “friends” in the third story sounds like the people that would blame you for getting assaulted.
i’m very concerned for the 12 year old kid in the first story. definitely not normal behavior for someone that young. their parents need to get investigated for drugs in their home.
Or not even drugs at all, more like behaviors. Cause who knows what kind of abusive shit the 12 year old is going through in order for them to even want to do drugs. Cause there's always a reason why a person does drugs. Are the parents neglecting/abusing the child so much, they wanna do drugs to finally feel something?
I think the opposite (well for the 'that young part') he is too old and should have learned not to take medicine thats not for him, I think hes just stupid and did it because they showed him the videi of his cousin medicated and thought its funny
Story 2: no what she did was out of petty jealousy not angry, she wanted to upstage OP and it didn't work so she had a fit like a baby. I feel sorry for your husband and his siblings they are clearly so used to their mom acting like this they think this isn't a big deal and would rather enable her then hold her accountable. And frankly she's not entitled to your lasagna babe if you don't make it and people find out why then her party will be ruined because of something she did last get together. Just because your husband doesn't have a spine doesn't mean you have to give up yours, tell all of them you're not doing anything until you get an apology.
I have the mindset if hubby wants to humor his mommy dearest with the offering of lasagna then perhaps he should make it? A lasagna from scratch is expensive and she destroyed about half of it plus the vessel it was in. OP shouldn’t cook for them until she gets an apology from MIL. Spouse and the rest of the in-laws should also apologize for not validating OPs efforts and feelings.
yeah, and they all have the nerve to say that it was a "mistake". No, it wasn't a mistake, mistakes are made without intention, she did it on purpose. (well i guess it's like you said, and they believe that normal because they had to live with this behaviour since they were kids)
OP should ask them to explain how that was a mistake and not a fit full with ill intent
I was SHOOK hear Rslash say “keep your bodily fluids out my daughter”without context that sentence is WILD…😭
3:58 "I HAVE AUTISM, AND I KNOW NOT TO!!" is a Punchline I have for myself, and it lets me know that these are "Lines Crossed Too Far".
The story about blood donation is insane. No one, for any reason, is obligated to literally give away parts of their body. The teacher should have to do some ethics training.
Fun bit of trivia, there is a couple mutants that use their bodily fluid to heal. Warren (Angel) can us his blood to cure any and all wounds and infections and Josh (Elixir) is a living panacea, tho generally his powers work by touch, he can also use AMY of his bodily fluids to heal.
That said, they've both used their bodily fluids to heal, but they did the ONE thing the sister-in-law didn't, THEY GOT CONSENT!!!
wait Archangel could have done that?! i thought he just flew! cool !
@@nickwalco The TLDR version that I've read is that Angel can only do this with people who have matching blood types with him thanks to some Phalanx nanomachines in his bloodstream.

Story 1: I'd press charges against the kid for stealing prescription medicine, AND call CPS because clearly something is going wrong in that household. I'd also get a locked medicine cabinet, to prevent things like this from happening.
I would not get a locked medicine cabinet, OP's kids are not dumb enough to steal the meds, I would just not let the kid back in the house. the lock on the front door is going to do a better job than a lock that can be broken into faster than it can be opened with a key.
honestly if i was OP i'd tell my sister to go ahead and sue me. and admit that her child stole prescription medication and did so to get high. its one thing to not lock away medicine, its a whole other ballpark to steal that medicine and try to get high off of it.
On the part about needles, I take daily medication and have been told that weekly injections would work better than the pills I take. But even at age 30 I am NOT comfortable injecting myself every week so I stick with the pills. I'm very concerned about what influences that kid has been exposed to to make him think that was a good idea.
For the anemia story, as a dad, I agree with OP's dad. She handled fine, left the scene of provocation and literal harassment from the teacher and followed through with an appropriate complaint. 16 year old OP handled it perfectly.
These stories are crazy-
Also I wonder if his family can hear his screaming into the mic when he gets pissed lmao. I know it’s probably soundproofed or something but it’s funny to think about how his family reacts.
“Momma, daddy’s yelling again”
“Oh it’s just his work hun. He’s ok”
😂
Love your content hun! Keep up the good work 😊
12 y/o is old enough to google, and the kid presumably has a smartphone. Plus just taking a massive dose of what you think is a painkiller is potentially lethal, I'd honestly be a little concerned that it might have been a suicide attempt. I'd say the kid should definitely talk to a professional, and not just be punished for doing something stupid, just in case they are lying to hide what they did.
Yes, I thought the kid probably used Google to find out how to fill the syringe and inject himself. The fact that he wanted to do so is a huge red flag...
@@fdm2155 Yeah, it's very hard to believe that a member of gen alpha wouldn't think to google the name on the box... I guess maybe if they're paranoid about their parents snooping, and didn't want it in their search history? We can reasonably guess his mom isn't the most rational person. But seriously, 12? That's smoking, sneaking a beer, and thinking it's funny to try to get high sniffing magic markers, more than that just screams serious problem, like abuse, depression, something going on with an older friend/sibling.
I think we're missing the point that it is illegal for a teacher to force a student to do something they don't want to do
If anything, I’m pretty sure this is a major HIPAA violation
ETA: ignore that statement…I just talk to my partner about it, who is a little bit more versed in HIPAA laws, but it is a violation of her privacy and harassment
She wasn't forcing the student. She was trying to coerce her with guilt. That is still a big no-no, but not illegal. Nothing illegal occurred here. HOWEVER, the optics on this are REALLY bad. If I was in admin in that school, I would be doing some major damage control. If I were another teacher, I would be doing something to help the girl and other kids deal with this long-term. If I was a parent, I would be raising hell. This is NOT how a teacher should act.
I have worked with people like this, and the students always come into my class asking me how to deal with it. I always give them the best solution I can come up with that will satisfy their need for pettiness, revenge and/or to respond in kind while ensuring they are not going to get into any disciplinary issues. Because that is the other problem with that kind of teacher: they will work hard to find a reason (i.e., the teacher at my school who didn't like a kid with an IEP and diagnosed disorder, and had him removed from her class because he couldn't keep his leg still and the charms on his shoe were jangling and annoying her).
Tests
First story, OP can go without a lawyer and easily win everything against her sister. It'll be on her sister to explain why her 12 year old boy would steal another kid's medicine with intent to get high and now how to handle needles. Which *really* needs to get investigated. If it means OP's sister loses her kids from it? It's going to be for the better
Which is why I hope OP calls sister’s bluff and countersues. She wants OP to pay for nephews mess and for all this to go away.
THT covered the last story and actually found that breast milk can heal an ear infection. but I still think a baby sitter should always ask for consent since… that’s wild lol
To add to Dabney's comment: a PICC line is not only "taped" to your arm via a dressing that covers the entry-site of the tube, the first inch of the line as well as a couple squared inches of skin to protect the patient from bacteria and any type of infections, but it's sewn into your arm because the tube goes straight to you heart/just above your heart and must not be able to move.
"keep your bodily fluids out of my daughter"
Not a sentence I ever expected to hear 😅
the 12 y/o in the first story is a tragedy in the making. the moment you read that the kid was trying to get high and knew how to inject himself is a HUUGE red flag and i definitely think the sister needs to be investigated or the 12 y/o needs their online time/friends observed
1 story: I lived with someone who had daily medical needs that required injection, and pills. You place thigs that are needed in locations that are convenient.
The kid asked what it was told it was medicine, at 12 you know not to touch it. If the op sisters want to make a big deal she was there, not watching her own kid she is also to blame.
I’ve been listening to this page for YEARS and I love how increasingly unhinged his reactions get 😂 Reddit has changed this man
Story 3: I love when rslash gets SO angry and yells like this! It’s so funny and valid!
This is one of many stories that I will never forget from my childhood. it involves cocaine. My father was a hospital pharmacist. There are medical reasons for using pure cocaine in a patient. His pharmacy, in the hospital, had some, a different hospital needed some, but didn't have it in stock. It wasn't an emergency, so my father, being licenced and all that jazz, brought home the medical grade cocaine to transfer it to the other hospital (with all the paperwork). I was about 12 at the time. My brothers were 6 and 4. We were told, in a very stern voice, that this paper bag is NOT TO BE TOUCHED!!!! Guess what we didn't touch in the refrigerator? The bag of cocaine. The child in the first story has some problems. Intervention is necessary.
Story 3: That teacher is unprofessional and intrusive. With friends like that, who needs friends? Also, why wouldn't their mom not have her back? WTF? This story is weird. Also, rSlash, I appreciate your perspective on this.
how was that 12 year old raised?? how does he even know that you can get high with a syringe??
Something is going on in SIL’s house or in the kid’s friend group/school.
Probably has unfettered access to the internet...
Of course 12 year olds know about drugs and needles. They do watch movies and tv shows.
@@kheldaur2107 even so not a lot of twelve year olds are eager to get high unless they have experience it before.
@@kaykay8855 did you only hang out with the most uptight goody two shoe kids? Because the average child certainly knows what getting high is and want to at least try it. If not already have and want to do it regularly.
4:26 I dont think you paid attention in the 90s when they showed just how often children were overdosing because things werent properly locked up. Even if children are responsible, you never keep medicines easy to access for ANYONE except you (the guardian) or your daughter (the recipient) assuming it's legally advisable to let her as a minor. By not properly locking up medicine, you may be endangering your kids life negligently by providing crime of opportunity to thieves...which may turn into murder or assault of opportunity/necessity...wiring and medicines are very much in demand for theft , theyre worth the risk to life to the average armed thief. But yeah, legally you could be held reliable because it isnt about how responsible your children are, its about how youre depending on their responsibility rather than your own protection...which is your responsibility as a parent. So i dont think the hospital bill is yours, but a CPS visit may be yours!
A picc line is placed in the body, like a cannula for an Iv but in for a long time/permanently think for frequent/daily Iv infusions, chemo, meds. It’s not just strapped to your body, it’s IN your body
a 12 yr old boy injecting someone else's medicine into them so they can get high, that statement alone raises so many alarm bells and definitely makes me curious what the hell his mother is teaching or doing in front of the kid for him to want to do such a thing
Story 3: The teacher should be charged with endangerment and attempted murder. No in between. Trying to coerce a 16yo into giving blood when that would even endanger their lives. Disgusting.
Unfortunately, there is nothing here that is chargeable. A teacher trying to guilt trip a student is not a crime. Should she lose her job? If this isn't her first rodeo with admin along similar circumstances, yes. Should she be reprimanded? Certainly, and she should be made to publicly apologize to a student she harassed. Is she a disgrace to the profession? If all that is considered is this one instance, most assuredly and needs to consider a different profession.
God, I think my brain short circuited during the first story. Someone needs to figure out what's going on with that kid that makes him so willing to get high he's willing to inject himself at 12!
That kid is absolutely terrifying. He's smart enough to inject himself, smart enough to know what he's doing is wrong (didn't ask didn't tell, tried to hide it), and is somehow motivated enough to stick needles in himself to get high. When I was a kid I hated needles, and videos of people on drugs, even those funny videos of kids after the dentist terrified me. This can't be normal behavior, get the kid into therapy now.
For story 1: What in the world dude? That's not stupidity, it's either an addiction or the start of one
That last story makes me holler. I am one of those moms who put breastmilk on everything but for my child, I would never put breastmilk on someone else’s child.😂
Even if the breast milk has healing qualities, OP provided her with the prescribed medicine and the instructions. She had no right to not give her the medication and inject her fluids into OPs child without consent.
Even if there was a medical benefit she was out of line to not give OPs child the doctor recommended medicine and give her breast milk instead. If she did this at her hospital she could lose her job.
Lol I am in no way a crunchy mom but I have heard that breast milk has antibacterial properties and can be good for things like ear infections.
My sister in law used garlic oil out of garlic capsules for her kids eat infections. None of them were ever on antibiotics..
Now i would think your were strange if this just went ahead and put milk in my kids ear but I'm not going to have a cow over it hahahaha.
Plus.... Huge difference between breast milk and, salve, and urine bahahahaha. Babies can say least drink the milk.
Yeah, she definitely should have asked before doctoring someone else’s child with her personal remedy.
Right! I'm currently breastfeeding my son and if I have milk that sat out for a bit before I could store it or he didn't finish, I bagged it up and froze it for milk baths or rashes or such. The aunt should've called or messaged and said, "hey, breastmilk has quite a bit of health benefits and so I wanted to see if you'd be alright with me putting some in my niece's ears to help with her ear infections. If not, no problem, I just wanted to inform you." And left it at that... you never do stuff like that without consulting parents! That's like giving medicine that wasn't prescribed for the child to them and then telling the parents later!

(Lasagna): this was NOT a mistake. Your MIL is toxic-AF. Everyone wants to appease her so that she won't make a scene. I'm not you, but I refuse to be emotionally blackmailed, bullied, and controlled like this. And I don't care if ruins XMAS, weddings, and baby showers for decades: I'd call her out on her behavior, and I would tell her that I refuse to be controlled by her. Stand up to bullies.
It sounds like it would be best for OP to spend holidays and special events with her side of the family. Let spouse be solely responsible for any cooking, gift buying, etc. for his side of the family. None of them value OPs efforts nor as a person.
Doctor's orders aren't a valid reason? What?
A student can't be forced to volunteer. No one can.
Absolutely make a complaint. The friends taking the teacher's side are pushovers.
Story 1: NTA and I’m super concerned about how a 12 year old knows how to inject himself with a needle filled with unknown medicine. Also he’s 12 he should be old enough to know not to put his hands on something that isn’t his especially in someone else’s house, family or not.
1st story: she can't sue you. You didn't hurt the kid. You shouldn't have the needles in spaces where kids can get them. The 12 Yr old IS VERY STUPID. Thank GOD it wasn't a reused needle but he could've hurt himself so bad. NTA, don't give them a cent, if you can't teach your kids basic manners along with common sense (don't take people's things + don't take other people's medication!!) then realistically, that's on you.
I think in some states she has to sue for the insurance to pay out. I'm certain I heard a similar story before where a family member had to sue another family member over some injury because they couldn't afford the medical bill by themselves, but the insurance wouldn't pay without a legal claim. So the aunt might not have a choice if she can't cover the bill without insurance
Ah, remember now. An aunt sued her 12 y/o nephew cause he accidentally broke her wrist (I think?). Basically, what I remember most about the story is the interned going up in arms calling the aunt an evil Karen, when really she was very reluctant to sue and hated that she had to do it, but she couldn't cover the bill herself and suing was the only way to get insurance to pay
@@zilesis1it's the kids fault tho. He's stupid. Probably either depressed or already needing therapy for drug addiction at 12. Even if she can sue, she shouldn't. She didn't teach her kid not to take things that don't belong to you? I'd care more about my kid being safe than sueing someone else for my own sons stupidity.
@@crashawashereI'm not talking about whose fault it is, just that she might not have a choice. If I remember the other story correctly it wasn't about winning the lawsuit, just about filing it.
It might be the case that the aunt will file the claim, send it to the insurance people to get the medical bills covered, then drop it entirely. In which case, I can understand why she has to do it
If, on the other hand, she is genuinely intent on suing money out of OP then she's an unreasonable AH
Basically, without knowing if the aunt *needs* to sue or *wants* to sue i can't say for sure how much of an AH she is
@@zilesis1 I think mommy dearest can't handle the fact her precious baby boy has a deep rooted problem and is deflecting anywhere she can. He's 12 and shooting up stolen drugs? Big yikes.
Story 3: It pisses me off having others say that she was being disrespectful, while being disrespected by the teacher in front of everyone. She's supposed to just sit there and be attacked by this woman because she's older and a teacher? Gtfo. I'd report her ass too.
Reminded me of a teacher I had in college. She said something very dismissive in response to an answer I gave in class, and when another student said, “Hey, that was kind of disrespectful,” the teacher said, “You saying that to me is disrespectful.” Like, what the actual hell???
Story 1: Would anyone else here actually pay money to hear the entitled sisters reason for the lawsuit? “Your honour, when my son stole my sick niece’s medicine and used it on himself he could have gotten hurt, and clearly I shouldn’t have to cover that”
Yeah i’m guessing she’d get laughed out of court, also yes i agree it IS scary that a 12 year old did this.
Especially when OP explains that the kid thought he could get high from the medicine.
@@fdm2155and OP even informed sister and nephew beforehand that those are his daughter’s meds as well has what meds she takes. OP should counter sue to recur the costs of the meds and syringe nephew took.
@@lorilancaster5917 It's so odd to me that the sister seems to be more focused on OP having necessary medicine and equipment for her chronically ill daughter than the fact that her 12 year old wants to shoot up narcotics! 😬
As Rslash noted, anyone might have potentially dangerous/lethal medicines in their home, medicine cabinet, etc. Most of us don't put non-narcotic prescriptions under lock and key. A 12 year old should know better than to take random medicine... not to mention STEALING medicine.
Oh, I'd definitely pay to watch that court case. That would be so hilarious. I'd love to watch the sister's face as she and Andrew get charged with theft, illegal possession of proscription drugs, and/or drug abuse and misuse. Because make no mistake: what he did was downright illegal. I have no idea what's going on in that household but CPS needs to investigate.
@@fdm2155yeah I mentioned that it another comment as well. Additionally the nephew was stupid to take the medicine at OPs home. He wanted to get high in front of his mom and the people he stole from?
We need to encourage children to stand up for themselves instead of doing whatever they’re told by adults
About the first Reddit post, I don’t know how the child did that. I have a medical condition where I have to inject something myself every week. I need at least 10 minutes (on bad days, 30 minutes) to calm myself down and to be mentally prepared. I’ve been doing this for nearly two years and am still not used to it.
So, I hope that that boy never takes drugs because the signs clearly show (for me, at least) that he could go that route.
If the 12-year-old doesn't know enough to stay out of other people's medications by now he's going to have a lot of problems the older he gets.
I have severe back problems and have pain meds for it. My grandkids have never once even gone near my meds. They are kept up high enough that the little ones can't get to them though. A 12 yr old definitely knows better since he did it on purpose.
He knows he should not have done it. He just did it anyways.
@@aduckofsomesortThe child probably going through something cps should be called. I myself(15) have tried to do painkillers to get high and I later got diagnosed with depression
@@DPHAngelPookz not everyone has a mental illness that makes them act poorly. Some people are just bad, and that includes kids.
Blood donation story:
Wtf??
Why are people still teaching kids to not advocate for themselves??
I was taught to be polite/respectful to my elders to the point of anxiety.
I'm _still_ trying to undo the damage.
I'm more concerned that a teacher doesn't accept a doctor saying a kid shouldn't give blood as a valid reason.
Story 4: I 100% agree she should have asked first!!! However Breast milk is an easy solution that delivers a powerful shot of antibodies right to the site of the issue. Three to four drops of milk right into the ear is typically enough to treat the issue.
Yeah the sil is a paediatrician so she knew about but she still should have spoke to op first
Yes and no. Still prudent to get a diagnosis first as infections can go behind the ear drum and just putting BM in the ear won't get behind the drum really. This is coming from a mother who had two children with numerous ear infections and they both had to get ear tubes put in at the same time.
@@kellysinclair8833doing this can be a good way for her to lose her medical license.
@lorilancaster5917 agree but at least it wasn't someone going off an old wives tale or something with no medical expertise
Does it really? I only saw one website that stated that, whereas other websites, including the National Institute of Health, stated that drinking breast milk could reduce the chances.
Yes, in both cases the milk ends up in a similar location, because they basically connect to the same location, but considering that one of the recommendations on the .gov site specifically advocates against bottlefeeding in the case that children are repeatedly getting multiple ear infections, that implies to me that it's a case of the source, rather than the actual substance. IE, fresh breast milk has no real chance for bad germs to propagate in it (unless the mother's sick), and as such the child has less to worry about for it getting into the eustachian tube than something that has had a chance for germs to proliferate.
I feel like rSlash should take another break, this just seems so stressful. I love your stories but I hope you have a relaxing holiday!
Story 1: No kid at the age of 12 should know how to use needles on themselves! Heck, needles still stress me out even when handled by doctors. This means one of 2 things, 1. Someone taught him to use needles for whatever reason or learned it from somewhere, or 2. He already has access to drugs somehow...
Hearing Dabney triggered is righteously hilarious because depending on your he’s triggered, it’s valid
A picc line is a type of IV, it runs from your arm to just above your heart. It's meant for more, long term stuff and helps to deliver medicine more effectively to you (it also makes blood draws a lot easier since there's no searching for a vein). I had one of these while in hospital last year (cause I was there for several weeks). It can be permanent but it can be removed. Also, imo, it's a lot more comfortable than a regular IV line, it doesn't poke and jab as much when you move. But yeah it's basically an IV line.
If a 12 year old knows how to inject himself without accidentally injecting air and also hitting a vein right, ops sisters has bigger problems
"Magical piss mutant" was not the words I was expect to hear this morning. Thank you R/Slash.
rSlash, a woman was actually arrested for going into Department stores, like say Winco, Fred Meyer etc. and opening Ice Cream cartons, licking the top of the Ice Cream, only to close it again to put it back for someone to buy with her germs all over it. They had to throw out the Ice cream. Even if this woman was a marvel superhero and her spit was going to make people magically immune to Covid, would that make what she did okay?
My opinion: NO! 🤢 Also, putting bodily fluids in anyone's ear is not okay!
12 year olds are NOT that dumb. This definitely feels like something to do with the mother or some issues going on at home. Most 12 year olds don't even know that medication can get you high, let alone actually TRY to do it by stealing family members' medication. Does this 12 year old have a drug problem???
Story 1: NTA this is not your fault pure and simple also the kid stole from you to get high for a 12 year old to do that is not normal plus the reaction from your sister, missa think he's from a bad bad household.
Fun fact! The sister in law in the last story is a pediatrician. Still should have asked before doing it. And breast milk does help ear infections. Still wrong for doing it without permission.
Well, the more you know 🌠
Yuuup.
Breastmilk is great for infections in general. It's not just fat and sugar but has ingredients from mom to help the baby deal with bacteria and viruses the baby may not have had prior exposure to. Penicillin is mold, so just cause it may sound strange doesn't mean it doesn't work. Still, don't treat a patient without consent, or consent of a parent if that patient is a minor.
Citation needed. DRINKING breast milk has been shown to help prevent ear infections in infants and toddlers, but I can only find quackery sites that claim that the topical use of breast milk does anything beneficial.
Drinking it, not squinting it in an ear.
The blood story: the thing that gets me is that there were TWO OTHER STUDENTS that also didn't raise their hands. What made their excuses reasonable but not OP's?
It sounds like teacher doesn’t like being told no to where she focused all her energy on OP and lost focus on them. We had blood drives at school before but we’re not coordinated by the teachers so there was none of this shame for not donating
@@lorilancaster5917 Yeah, we had two blood drives a year at my old high school. I remember my biology teacher saying that there was nothing against us getting it done, but we'd get extra credit if we did. That makes more sense to me than shaming students for not doing it.
For story 3 I totally empathize with op. My mom can’t give blood, she has to take meds for a heart condition.
I might be able to give blood, but I would have to stop taking my meds, which is dangerous because they keep me mentally stable.
Besides that though, I just hate needles lol. I’ve had panic attacks when given too long between them prepping it, and actually poking me.
Story 3: mom and those other “friends” are stupid to take the teachers side, that teacher needs to be fired for trying to force a student to do something
I love rslashes response to it
Story 3: NTA. Drop your so-called friends who told you to shut up and deal with it, what do they have to gain for siding with the teacher like that other than losing OP as a friend? And no, you shouldn't wait until lunch, the teacher might tell a twisted version of her side. Kudos to dad for taking your side though.
I know what they would say if I showed up to donate blood at the blood bank. Me: “Hello. I’m here to donate blood. Oh, I’m diagnosed with muscular dystrophy by the way.” Them: “Thanks for thinking of us, but we don’t want your blood. Good bye.” 😅
"IT'S NOTHING OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS!!" That was so raw.
I'm 34 and despite having to inject my own medication once every week... still hate needles and nervous about them. I don't know how the hell a 12 year old could and would even know how to do that. That's crazy
"...Magical piss..." A phrase I never thought I'd hear and never thought I needed to hear.
As a fan of the X-men that was the weirdest and grossest analogy I’ve heard
The teacher not accepting a medical reason for not donating blood l, but wanting another reason to not donate is pretty wild. I bet if op said it goes against her religion the teacher would have accepted that. (Edit: ops friends that are divided are just another brick in the wall)
it doesn't even matter what the reason is, she shouldn't try to force people to donate , whatever the reason is. I don't like that kind of person, those who feel like they are oh-so-good willed and everyone who doesn't do the same as them are evil and selfish.
its like forcing someone to donate money, the cause is good but forcing it just make you some kind of extortionist
@@dinlupus3196most people don't like other's beliefs forced upon them
I seriously doubt that the teacher would have accepted a religious reason, they sound like the type who thinks their own opinion is the only correct one and everyone else just needs to fall in line.
A PICC line is a tube that is inserted like an IV and goes straight into the heart to deliver harsher medications than an IV can't handle, Dabney, they can be removed. A permanent port is where you have something strapped to you all of the time and take it home, so OP got confused there. My sibling has had PICC lines, and now has a permanent port, because of their health conditions.
The main issue for the breastmilk story was the fact that the SIL didn't ask the mom first and explain that (apparently, according to some of the comments I've read) breastmilk does have infection curing properties.
My jaw dropped when Rslash swore. Always a little scary when he gets so heated.
Story 3: If someone doesn't want to donate blood, then just leave it at that! Is this teacher trying to get OP in trouble for not wanting to donate blood?
Come on, OP owes nobody blood, everyone should know that.
And what reasons did the other two students give or was OP the teacher’s sacrificial lamb?
Mom has to answer for SOMETHING in Story 1. Either she shoots up in front of him, she's mega, MEGA neglectful and lets him act up at home, or she somehow directed him to do this. Or she has a boyfriend or a friend who shoots up in front of him. Or something equally bad - a 12 year old kid doesn't just shoot up on random drugs with no outside influen e
Story #1 ‐ The nephew doesn't live at OP's house, and OP shouldn't have to protect her medicine from people who don't live with her, especially not a 12 year old. I'm not surprised the nephew knew how to get the medicine out the jar with needles. I am suprised he knew how to inject himself. That's scary. Also I would love to be the judge in the case that the sister brought. I promise my face would not be impartial even if I had to be.
I LOVE how enthusiastic you get about some topics. In this video it was about not giving blood, but I have seen it happen in other videos as well. It is so genuine!
i think theres a bigger problem in the first story than a hospital bill, its the fact that a 12 year old wants to get HIGH and that he was able to inject himself with a needle...yeah thats the bigger problem, also the picc line, i can relate...those things SUCK
