Scars Ignite Step-Sister's Trauma: Who's Right?
In a heated debate, a 17-year-old boy refuses to cover his burn scars, despite knowing how they trigger his step-sister's fire trauma. She argues that he should be more considerate, while he fires back that it's his body and his choice. As the temperature rises, so does the tension between these siblings. But who's really in the wrong here? Is the step-brother being insensitive, or is the step-sister overreacting? Let's see what the internet thinks of this fiery situation... 🔥🤔
NTA. Your body, your rules. She's asking you to be uncomfortable for the sake of her comfort 🙄
