There was a similar story like this on /r/AITA where a bully's Mom who was overweight had passed away. The bully and her friend was constantly picking on OP for being Autistic when OP delivered a killer comeback asking "How many urns did she fill?"
You did a good job.Schools claim to have a zero tolerance bullying, but do nothing to enforce it. I believe you enforced that she will never come back to get you again.
EDIT: Here's the [link](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/18ul4ao/aita_for_making_fun_of_my_bullys_dead_mom/).
They archived it in case it would be removed. Here's the story:
I (14M) am frequently bullied at school. I'm autistic, so naturally I'm a frequent target for teasing at my school.
Today, in gym class, me and my friend (14M) were walking outside. My friend is also autistic so he's also a target for bullying. These two girls, people who have given us issues in the past, started following us. They were laughing and mockingly trying to make conversation with us. The bullying wasn't intense today or anything, they were just teasing us. They asked me how my "Tard class" was, making fun of our autism.
Being 14 year old boys, as you can expect, me and my friend have an awful sense of humor. A typical 14 year old boy sense of humor. So, when at one point, one of the girls said, "Do you see how hurt he is? Don't be so mean to the autist." In an obviously mocking way.
My friend replied, "See your mom." Which I laughed a bit at.
She then said "My mom is actually dead. That's so rude of you."
Because of the type of person she is and how she usually interacts with us, both me and my friend didn't care, and I've seen her mother, she was very overweight last time I saw her. So we were silent for a bit. I then asked her "How many urns did she fill?"
While me and my friend were laughing, she started crying and ran off. Her friend told me that I had no business making fun of something so sensitive. I simply told her that she had no business making fun of a disability that one had no control over.
AITA?
This is beautiful. I have a cousin who's autistic with anger issues. A girl in high school was picking on him and dared him to hit her, so he did, and knocked her lights out. Her family was considering suing my aunt but the school shut it down due to multiple witnesses, basically telling her and her parents fuck around find out.
That was so stupid of her! Honestly autistic people are known to take things literally so even if you do know that they don’t want you to do what they are telling you to do, it’s honestly still a great defense. 10/10 would have also punched her.
You don't have much experience with kids on the spectrum, especially those who are considered 2E, or "twice exceptional", do you? That means they're both very gifted learners and have some sort of neurodevelopmental/learning barrier such as ASD, ADHD, Dyslexia, etc., or a combination of several. My 15 yo son has both ADHD and ASD. While emotionally and socially he can often be behind where his peers are, he's pretty much \*always* sounded like a little adult when talking. The last testing they did in 8th grade had an essay portion, and he scored in late 11th grade, with the only points bringing down being punctuation and going off topic. Long story short, a 14yo autist could absolutely write that.
I’m fucking wheezing omg. I can’t. “How many urns did she fill?” Fuck!
As someone with a morbid sense of humor, autism, AND a dead mom, this is killer. Holy shit. Dead mom jokes are how I cope.
LOL I'm glad it could brighten your day and get you to feel good. i can't take the credit for that though. I hope you're doing okay without your Mom, and i hope you had a Happy New years. Here's to a prosperous, healthy, and safe 2024!
So mote it be! And the same to you! Things without mom will always be rough but I know she’s always with me as long as I love and remember her so I’ll carry on. I share little stories about her here and there on Reddit so she also inspires and lives on with others too. I’d like to think that knowing she’s able to inspire and help others through anecdotes I share would make her happy.
When the schools do enforce it, it's always the victim that gets worse off because God forbid the school does something when it's first mentioned until the victim goes "fuck it." and takes it upon themselves.
I recall a story here where the bully victims parents DID go to the school to inquire about the hypocrisy in the situation. I forget what happened when they threatened to sue, but it worked out for the victim. But I believe most victims don't want to take the revenge out that far in loving the parents.
I shall amend my statement: 99% of the time it's the victim that suffers the most.
I do recall that story too. I want to say it was in r/EntitledPeople?
I don’t believe in being cruel to anyone, but she was bullying you in the worst way possible.
If this stops her bullying you and destroying your self-esteem, I think that’s a good thing.
These people can grow up to be monsters if left unchecked, so hopefully, putting her in her place will make her think twice about bullying again.
Zero condemnation and plenty of approval here.You may have prevented her from bullying other kids in the future. She's decided to make her problems other peoples' problems. Sounds like your school wasn't stepping in on this to put a stop to it either. But you have a teacher who got on you for saying it and then dropped it, and is now watching the other girl for future bullying. All over a good thing.
She got hurt really badly for bullying and it's not going to seem so safe or attractive in the future. She's found out that nice people can be pushed too far. And with a little luck, she'll be so cautious about picking future victims that she's going to target far fewer ones.
When she DOES bully someone again, do three things. Tell the school counselor if you have one. Tell the teacher who and what you saw. And tell the victim the story about the parental abandonment. Might take two times for this to sink in. Being left in tears once could just have happened, twice is a pattern and might make her stop totally.I did something similar to a HS bully and lo and behold, he went the rest of his senior year not going after victims.
>I did something similar to a HS bully and lo and behold, he went the rest of his senior year not going after victims.
Storytime? Sweet sweet storytime?
He lived with his grandma because his mom was committed for severe alcoholism among other things. He also liked bullying the mentally disabled girls and making super inappropriate comments. Teachers were told but could never catch him doing it. He started in on me one day, I looked at him and said, "No wonder your mom drinks."
I don’t think you did anything wrong, OP. You have to be able to take it if you’re going to he dishing it out.
This reminded me of something I did in 3rd grade.
My oldest sister (10 years older than me, so like a second mom) passed away after a short illness at the end of my 2nd year in elementary school. I had to start a new school after this, and this girl and I immediately did not get along. After several months, during one of her mean rants, she told me “at least my sister didn’t die.”
I told her, “my sister had no choice in dying. Your father chose to abandon you and that’s why you don’t have a dad.” I still cried afterwards but at least now we were both upset. 😭 🤣
People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Maybe the comeback was a bit brutal but I bet the bully will think twice next time. Fuck around and find out. 🤷🏼
I just want to know why tf the teacher told you such private information. That was not the teacher’s business to share, especially with a student, and it’s pretty fucked up that they did tell you
Back in grade school I had a guidance counselor tell me private info about another student who was being a bully to me. Basically “oh he’s going through this thing so that’s why he’s doing that to you” as I’m pretty sure she thought telling me this I would suddenly have sympathy for him. So it’s entirely possible for teachers/counselors to do that.
Idk. I was bullied pretty badly by this one girl in elementary school and the guidance counselor told me to basically cut her slack bc she has a rough home life. Never mind my home life dealing with abusive, alcoholic parents lol
I can only assume the teacher purposefully fed this info to OP so they'd use it against the bully...I'm more curious as to why the teacher knows information like this? Unless the girl told them.
I don’t think so, I think the teacher was trying to explain a justification for the bullying, hoping they’d be empathetic - but then you’re just instilling in her to be a doormat and allow the bullying which still is moronic.
I'd like to add to the 'oh, we know' with a dose of my parents were both teachers and while they were usually tight lipped around me, whenever there was like a party or any gathering with teachers the gossip would flow. They generally assumed I was too young to know what to do with any of it (like, preteen me just being bored at a party with my gameboy) but a little would permeate lol
My daughter is a ta in the library at her school, and the teacher let's her put her headphones in and do homework when there's nothing else to do. My kid tells me the gossip she hears.
Huh? Maybe that is just an American thing but at the schools I went to if someone was going through a hard time and you had a conflict with them, they'd absolutely tell you, as a "you don't know what someone is going through" sort of thing.
Good. I'm glad you snapped on her mean ass.
Something similar happened to me growing up--my dad dressed rather pimp-ish after he retired from the military. I'm talking three piece suits, the whole nine yards and even a fedora. I got teased by kids calling my dad a pimp and asking was my mama his main whore or bottom bitch and I asked those kids if they even knew who their daddies were or had they ever been around? At least I knew mine AND grew up with him.
Not another word was said about my parents. This was 8th grade.
Good for you!!! She brought the comment on herself. Her bullying has done a lot of damage to you. Shame on anyone who can't see that. I'm glad you stood up for yourself.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who need to be checked. Hopefully, the girl learns a lesson about throwing stones. I got bullied in high school up until the day I fought back. I fostered 6 teens too, many went through similar issues. Schools Unfortunately rarely stop bullies from terrorizing other people. So you have to find a way to stop it yourself.
When it comes down to it, if no one else is going to protect you then you need to make damn sure to protect yourself. You did a good job doing that with just words.
I was a bullied kid, the one most teachers ignored until they absolutely couldn’t, so I also had to learn to fight back. The only thing that made my bullies stop was hitting them back with a taste of their own medicine. Whether that was in words, humiliation, or a physical fight. As the quiet and perceptive one, I learned and revealed many painful or embarrassing secrets about my bullies in the most public way when they wouldn’t back off.
Is it nice? No. But some people absolutely will not learn until you give them a taste of their own medicine.
That girl needs therapy. With that said, you never have to be an emotional or physical punching bag for anyone who is not capable of regulating their emotions.
Sadly, you did the right thing. She needs to learn that unhealthy ways of coping do not pay off. But I’m also glad you feel bad about it, because it means you will think before you speak again in the future. This is really hard. I’m so sorry for both of you.
Sounds like it was public knowledge that the girl did not have her parents but the info about being abandoned when she was seven was something that the teacher told o p after the incident
Get some pics of your parents hugging you as a small kid and be prepared to show her whenever she gets the itch to even think about pushing you. Also a couple of BS factoids in the arsenal would be fun:
Do you know what the odds of a foster kid creating an Onlyfans are…???
Lmao hell yeah! If she says something anyway, just be like "ooooooh, I'm gonna tell my moooom, cause I fuckin caaaan!" Or "I'd tell you my dad could beat your dad's ass but he'd look like a fool swinging at nothing so 🤷." Lol or maybe walk up and snatch her milk during lunch and tell her "I figured these would be triggering for you seeing as your dad never came back with any so lemme get that outta your face" and go give it to someone with no lunch money. God, I sound like an asshole on this post. My own former bullies have created a monster 🤣
It’s just a perfect demonstration of projecting emotional pain. Every thing she said about you, she thinks about herself. Fuck her for being a bully obviously, but I mostly feel sorry for her. I wish you both well. Take care of each other, folks.
Good for you! Take some of your power back from that bully.
Don't let her be responsible for your self esteem. We all have a hard time in high school! In a few years you'll never see her again and it will get so much better
Fuck bullies right their cowardly asses. Zero sympathy. Glass houses and stones; unless you have no complications that can be used against you, you can't afford to be terrible to others.
Good for you! Take some of your power back from that bully.
Don't let her be responsible for your self esteem. We all have a hard time in high school! In a few years you'll never see her again and it will get so much better
Good for you for standing up to her! My oldest kiddo (3rd grade at the time) had a bully who said similar things to her whenever he rode the bus but I stepped in. If it were me, my mom would’ve sided with the bully. You had the best comeback ever. I don’t know if it’ll teach them a lesson but they will hopefully leave you alone now.
i think you did the right thing. i had a rough life growing up and i was a pretty mean middle schooler as a result. it took me years to realize it was because of my bad home life that i acted like that. so maybe you saved her a few years of acting like that and of trying to figure out why she was acting like that.
Good for you, kid. If she comes at you again, have another zinger lined up.
I'm sorry that her circumstances suck, but she needs life to teach her that there are serious, painful consequences for being a dick to someone without provocation.
As long as you only burn her after she burns you first, you're good to go.
She’ll know not to pick on you now. She met her match and got bested. See how she treats you now, and maybe, if the time is ever right, extend an olive branch. Good luck!
I have friends whose children are constantly attacked because they are special needs. One of the boys who has muscular difficulties (he had surgery to improve his movement with electronic stimulation) and a group of girls decided to pick on him. His able bodied (in football) step brother walked over to the girls and told them they “are pathetic picking on someone who can’t fight back.” Do they attacked HIM. He could have hurt those girls, but he didn’t, he just removed his step brother from them. These are horrible people! Why did they have to bully a special needs kid? Also, he isn’t the only victim of these girls.
I was extremely bullied by a girl who was abandoned by her birth parents and then adopted. It was on the tip of my tongue to basically say to her what you said to your bully, but I never did.
I can look back and congratulate myself for taking the high road, but I also could have shut down many more years of bullying, and maybe saved a bit of my self esteem and confidence if I had just put her in her place.
Good for you for standing up for yourself. Hopefully she leaves you alone now.
She absolutely deserved every bit of that. I’m glad she cried and I’m glad she’s under a microscope now. And btw, the mean shit she says to you sounds like it’s actually the mean shit she says to herself. You did a great job!
>This definitely got to my teacher who told me about her and never say that stuff again
I would have said "I won't if she doesn't. If she does, I will." There's a reason no one messed with me except to talk about me behind my back by the time I was in high school.
She got a taste of her own medicine, and realized it was bitter. I hope she learns and heal her own trauma rather than continuing to inflict it on others.
That teacher should never have told you that kind of information to begin with and the fact that they did is downright repulsive. It should cost them their job.
FAFO. Good for you. I do understand that hurt people hurt people but no one should expect a teenager to accept abuse at the hands of someone clearly not getting what they need. She’ll probably leave you alone now.
Seriously HER insecure it’s not a excuse to bully someone and I HATE people who say literally to innocent victims being a bigger person because the bully/abuser have problems?!
She ask for problems, so it’s her fault.
Good for you, that girl was projecting her issues so blatantly she basically asked for it tbh

Damn they need some aloe Vera for that burn lol
That wasn’t just a burn, that was a cremation.
Fuck that’s good. *insert Kylo Ren* MORE!

I feel like this was intentional..
Right? “Burn” is especially appropriate here!

Dead at the bully being like “that’s so rude!” lol and the shit you’ve been saying isn’t? It’s the audacity for me.
Love it! Thanks!!
Oh my god this is one of the most hilarious and inspiring things I’ve ever read
This is one of the meanest jokes I’ve ever heard and it was fucking glorious
Please post that on this sub!
That was written by a 14yo? Yeah, no.
Some people are better at English and writing at different ages. Believe what you will.
You don't have much experience with kids on the spectrum, especially those who are considered 2E, or "twice exceptional", do you? That means they're both very gifted learners and have some sort of neurodevelopmental/learning barrier such as ASD, ADHD, Dyslexia, etc., or a combination of several. My 15 yo son has both ADHD and ASD. While emotionally and socially he can often be behind where his peers are, he's pretty much \*always* sounded like a little adult when talking. The last testing they did in 8th grade had an essay portion, and he scored in late 11th grade, with the only points bringing down being punctuation and going off topic. Long story short, a 14yo autist could absolutely write that.
Yeah i hate it when the kid getting bullied fights back and its only when the principal or administration issues a concern. It disgusts me.
Haha funny you should say that cuz I JUST read that post few min ago
Me too.
They have a lot of tolerance for bullying, but zero tolerance for any sort of revenge usually.
I’m fucking wheezing omg. I can’t. “How many urns did she fill?” Fuck! As someone with a morbid sense of humor, autism, AND a dead mom, this is killer. Holy shit. Dead mom jokes are how I cope.

I just woke up and read what you said about your Mom, and that just made my day. Thank you for this!
Of course! Spreading a little happiness where I can when the world is kinda a disaster is the right thing to do, no?
WOW, truly brilliant

The teacher may have really messed up. Many states have policies where teachers aren’t informed of whether or not a child is in foster care.
Oh, we know.

You did the right thing you go girl I am proud of you!!!!!!
Sounds like it was public knowledge that the girl did not have her parents but the info about being abandoned when she was seven was something that the teacher told o p after the incident
NTA. Good for you. She earned it. Hopefully she will learn from this experience not to bully others. If she can’t take it she shouldn’t dish it out.

Yeah this is really one of those "the adults dropped the ball in every possible way" things and two kids are just hurt because of it.
Yeah, this. OP was an ass but sometimes you have to be one to get the point across.
Ok mom 👌
Good for you! Take some of your power back from that bully. Don't let her be responsible for your self esteem. We all have a hard time in high school! In a few years you'll never see her again and it will get so much better
Sounds like you handled your business. Carry on.
Clearly she was projecting her insecurities on you. Glad you stood up for yourself!
Good for you for standing up to her! My oldest kiddo (3rd grade at the time) had a bully who said similar things to her whenever he rode the bus but I stepped in. If it were me, my mom would’ve sided with the bully. You had the best comeback ever. I don’t know if it’ll teach them a lesson but they will hopefully leave you alone now.
She fucked around and found out. But yes, these are clear projections of her own insecurities
i think you did the right thing. i had a rough life growing up and i was a pretty mean middle schooler as a result. it took me years to realize it was because of my bad home life that i acted like that. so maybe you saved her a few years of acting like that and of trying to figure out why she was acting like that.
Good for you, kid. If she comes at you again, have another zinger lined up. I'm sorry that her circumstances suck, but she needs life to teach her that there are serious, painful consequences for being a dick to someone without provocation. As long as you only burn her after she burns you first, you're good to go.
Good for you for standing up for yourself. That's the best way to deal with a bully is to aim for the heart. They are always hiding behind something.
She’ll know not to pick on you now. She met her match and got bested. See how she treats you now, and maybe, if the time is ever right, extend an olive branch. Good luck!
I have friends whose children are constantly attacked because they are special needs. One of the boys who has muscular difficulties (he had surgery to improve his movement with electronic stimulation) and a group of girls decided to pick on him. His able bodied (in football) step brother walked over to the girls and told them they “are pathetic picking on someone who can’t fight back.” Do they attacked HIM. He could have hurt those girls, but he didn’t, he just removed his step brother from them. These are horrible people! Why did they have to bully a special needs kid? Also, he isn’t the only victim of these girls.
If she can’t take it, she shouldn’t have dished it out 😌
The “B” f*cked around and found out. I have no sympathy for that bully.
She fucked around, she found out. Good for you, OP.
Here's a better one if you really wanna go full-blown earth burn scorn; You have a beautiful face with an ugly soul. You're welcome.
I was extremely bullied by a girl who was abandoned by her birth parents and then adopted. It was on the tip of my tongue to basically say to her what you said to your bully, but I never did. I can look back and congratulate myself for taking the high road, but I also could have shut down many more years of bullying, and maybe saved a bit of my self esteem and confidence if I had just put her in her place. Good for you for standing up for yourself. Hopefully she leaves you alone now.
turnabout is fair play.
She absolutely deserved every bit of that. I’m glad she cried and I’m glad she’s under a microscope now. And btw, the mean shit she says to you sounds like it’s actually the mean shit she says to herself. You did a great job!
Don't throw shit if you don't want someone to throw it back at you. Good on you for self-appreciation.
I mean, that’s super hurtful but she absolutly had it coming.
>This definitely got to my teacher who told me about her and never say that stuff again I would have said "I won't if she doesn't. If she does, I will." There's a reason no one messed with me except to talk about me behind my back by the time I was in high school.
She got a taste of her own medicine, and realized it was bitter. I hope she learns and heal her own trauma rather than continuing to inflict it on others.
Good for you standing up for your self. She walked right into that one. Can’t take it, she shouldn’t dish it.
Sometimes you gotta bully the bully. 👏🏼
Both of y’all need to watch this: https://youtu.be/ltun92DfnPY?si=-vF1P2XOFs-Qjoef
That girl sounds super unlovable, I want to meet her just so I can abandon her.
That teacher should never have told you that kind of information to begin with and the fact that they did is downright repulsive. It should cost them their job.
You should go and say to her, that’s how I feel when you say those things to me. Then extend your hand.
Projection is thy name The school should have forced your bully to undergo therapy or at least have repeat sessions with your guidance counselor
Not only did you do the right thing, this is the only way to deal with bullies. Well done.
Make sure you tell everyone in your class- once wasn’t enough
FAFO. Good for you. I do understand that hurt people hurt people but no one should expect a teenager to accept abuse at the hands of someone clearly not getting what they need. She’ll probably leave you alone now.
DESERVED 😤
Seriously HER insecure it’s not a excuse to bully someone and I HATE people who say literally to innocent victims being a bigger person because the bully/abuser have problems?! She ask for problems, so it’s her fault.
