Teen’s Dad Gets Him a Cake He’s Allergic To : Was It Wrong to Speak Up?

A 15-year-old boy finds himself in a tense situation after his dad gets him a birthday cake he’s allergic to. The teen’s relationship with his father has been rocky, as they only started spending time together when he was 8. Over the years, he’s noticed that his dad’s choices for activities and gifts seem to be more about his dad’s preferences than his own. The situation comes to a head when his dad gets him a strawberry vanilla cake, despite knowing about his severe allergy.
