Losing both parents is never easy, and raising your younger siblings is a massive responsibility. But when a teacher decides to make a tasteless joke about your family situation, it can be infuriating. One sibling duo (22f and 23) found themselves in this exact situation, and they’re not letting it slide. The siblings, who have been raising their younger brothers and sisters after their parents passed away, were shocked when a teacher made a ‘Flowers in the Attic’ reference about their family. Now, they’re seeking justice, but are they going too far?
