Bullied Teen Refuses Dinner at Bully’s House Demands Apology Email Instead!

We’ve all heard about bullies and their victims, but what happens when the bully’s parents try to make amends? In a surprising turn of events, a teen who was being bullied at school by a kid named Dan, finds out that Dan’s parents want to invite the victim’s family over for dinner so their son could apologize. However, the teen isn’t too thrilled about the idea and has a different plan in mind. ️

This bullied teen isn’t interested in a dinner party at their bully’s house, even if it means receiving an apology. Instead, they request a written apology, sent to their school email address, to hold the bully accountable. The bully’s mom doesn’t think it’s appropriate, but our protagonist stands firm. Their own mom is angry, accusing them of being ungrateful and difficult. But is the teen really in the wrong for wanting an apology on their own terms?
