The Great Apology Showdown: In-Person Dinner vs. Email Accountability

Looks like our protagonist is in quite a pickle! They’ve been bullied by this kid Dan, and now Dan’s parents want to host a dinner where he apologizes in person. But our hero isn’t falling for it! They see right through the parents’ attempts to use them as a teaching tool for their son. Instead, they’re demanding a written apology sent to their school email. That way, Dan has to take real accountability in front of the school. But Dan’s mom isn’t having it, saying it’s not “appropriate.” Our protagonist isn’t backing down, though! They hung up on her when she started talking down to them. Now their mom is furious, saying they “went all lawyer” on the other family. The internet has some thoughts on this one, folks!
