There is no excuse for bullying or sexual harassment. None whatsoever. However, the sad fact is that some people still feel guilty and wonder if they were wrong to report bullies and harassers. The bottom line is that the victim shouldn’t be forced to feel this way.

Some victims, however, find innovative ways to get back at their harassers. One 18-year-old college student, redditor u/Left_Wrap_5352, explained how she got in touch with her bullies’ mothers and let them know exactly what their sons were doing to her. You’ll find the full story, in the student’s own words, below. When you’re done reading, let us know in the comments what you think and if you believe that this was the best possible solution to the problem.

    Bullying and harassment are never okay. However, some harassers won’t stop even if you report them

    A female college student shared how she finally put a stop to the awful bullying she was the target of

    The redditor’s post got a lot of attention on the AITA subreddit. It received over 24.7k upvotes, and other internet users gave the student dozens of awards for her bravery and honesty.

    Overall, the vast majority of people were very supportive of the student deciding to send all of her bullies’ messages to their mothers. She turned the moms into valuable allies and essentially made sure that they’d keep their kids in line from now on.

    However, some of the redditor’s friends thought that she could have gone about doing things differently, which was what got her wondering if she really did the right thing in the end.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Overwhelmingly, redditors agreed that she wasn’t a jerk and she did nothing wrong. They suggested that anyone who is on the harassers’ side should rethink their values in life.

    Bullying has profound negative effects on victims, especially kids. It can seriously damage their mental health and sense of self-worth.

    So it is vital to put an end to bullying, whatever form it might take. “Bullying is never acceptable,” Lauren Seager-Smith, the CEO of Kidscape, a UK anti-bullying charity, told Bored Panda earlier.

    She’d explained to us that there is never a ‘good’ reason for someone to get bullied. Unfortunately, there are multiple reasons why they do become targets. It might be due to their family situation, having a ‘funny’ name, wearing glasses, being overweight… or absolutely anything else. Bullies will latch on to anything and use it as an ‘excuse’ to do what they do.

    “Never underestimate the impact of bullying, understand what your child needs to feel safe and if the bullying is in school—make sure you let the school know the impact of the situation,” Lauren told us.

    “You may also want to seek out opportunities to build your child’s confidence and assertiveness skills so they can feel proud of who they are,” she drew attention to the fact that the younger the child, the more parents might have to help them when it comes to emotional resilience in the face of injustice.

    I’m still waiting for Congress to pass the law that states sending unsolicited NSFW pics are the same as “flashing” and should be treated as the sex crime they are. That’s literally what it is anyway just an innovative way of doing it. No normal person flashes their private parts online or in person unless they were asked to

    I love your comment. I love the image of that mama who only has to use 'The Voice's or 'The Look' to put her children perfectly in line. I only wish all moms knew their secret, because the reality is that for some reason not all moms are so authoritative and not all children so obedient. I know a man who I could see doing some gross bullying like this, and his mom would be horrified, and she would talk to him about it, but ultimately she would be helpless. His issues run too deep and she can't change his behavior any more than she can change the color of the sky. Still, it's worth a try. The OP is NTA.

    I don’t even send NSFW images to my partner. She doesn’t need that kind of horrific sight on her phone! Once the image has gone digital and your cloud provider has swerved their job and accidentally given the world access to your photo stream then it’s in the public domain FOREVER and no one needs that. Add in the more important fact that no one’s daughter, sister, mother or anyone else for that matter needs or wants to see your latest dickpick or your naked torso and it’s best to not send them in the first place. Good on her for highlighting their lack of respect for her and shining a light on their idiocy.

    The really sad and horrifying thing is that many women have been indoctrinated into the same misogynistic thinking in regards to inequality in consequence. My sister was getting harassed in a similar way and just the notion of reporting them triggered a couple of female friends. It’s likely some men react this way, but I’m certain some women do, too. Regardless of their gender, not great advice from a friend & I worry equally about their thinking as I do being assaulted & bullied like this example.

    NTA but she should also go again to the school. If she's in the US, their behavior violates Title IX. By law, there must be a Title IX officer or coordinator on campus, and the college must have a system of reporting. She can go to the police also. The campus procedures are meant for internal justice (getting someone removed from a class, removed from campus, put on probation, etc.).

    Can/should still report them again, with implied threat to sue the school (for the equivalent of “creating a hostile workplace” through their inaction/ineffectiveness). Let’s see how fast things then change as it’s the district’s cash and the principal’s job at stake.

    Not only NTA but this is what I have told my own students to do. About 10 years ago we were discussing cyberbullying and I told them to never delete and to screenshot anywhere the bully could delete. One girl took all of the comments one boy wrote to her and took screenshots directly to his house and to school. He deleted the comments and then cried when his mom saw them. Anything you wouldn't want your mom to see shouldn't be sent to someone who could show it to your mom.

    Not sure where she is at, but if it's in the USA, many states have laws that prohibit harassment and stalking through electronic devices like phones and computers. You can not only have them charged with harassment..especially if they sent any pick of a sexual nature which will also earn them a spot on the Sex offenders registry...but you can also sue them for any costs you may have to endure like getting a new phone/number...relocating to a new address..etc.

    I have done something similar, each time I get an unsolicited d**k pic. Or more if someone asked me do I want a d**k pic and I specifically explain to them not to send one, and they do, then I copy our messages and the pic. Then I post on their wall and tag anyone that I believe is either related to them or might be in a relationship with them. I've been threatening but I've had to explain if you're mad at someone harm yourself. You made this. I've been told my mama saw this. And I explained that my children's mother saw this too and they found it just as inappropriate as your mother did. It also teaches my children ( both are sons) what not to do

    I mean, it's not like she set it up so any message they sent her got forwarded to all their friends and the university admin and the police and their bosses (if they have jobs). I mean, that's probably a good next step if they don't stop, but trying to handle it privately with the help of their family members seems much more tactful than all the things she could have done. She could have posted them online for all the world to see.

Harassment of ANY KIND against women or men is not okay and anyone who condones it or ignores it needs to have their head read.

    Why would you care if people think you're an @sshole or not? You stood up for yourself and that's that. You didn't ask to be harassed. They did that all on their own. So now they reap what they sow. Simple as that. This won't be the first and won't be the last of these things in life. Deal with them as you see fit. Maybe I'm just a sour old grape but I stopped caring about what people think a long time ago and it's actually make my life a lot more enjoyable.

    Oh my god! It never stops. When I was dating, men in their 40s and 50s would send not unsolicited pictures but I would preempt and say do not send me those kind of pictures because I don't need to see it. I even thought one guy I was going to have to get a restraining order to get him to stop. Not surprisingly the man I married never sent me that kind of picture.

    I did something like this once. Guy harassing me in HS. He was a senior and I was a freshman. I guess that's what happens when they combine health classes. I told the counselor and she called his mom who said that I was the one who seduced him. Without knowing any context or even who I was. She came in and I was forced to sit with her in the counselor's office. Her son was never even called in. She insisted it wasn't her son's w**g in the pics. So I followed up with yet more pics, with his face in them. She shut up after that. I was sent back to class. He didn't even get into any trouble. He was about to graduate and I "should think about his future and how this would affect his possible employment/college life".

    Unfortunately if she did this in the uk the ‘revenge porn’ laws could likely wind her up on a bit of trouble as it is now illegal to ‘share’ nude pictures you may have of another person. Although similarly the original senders of those pictures are also breaking the law here. So worst case scenario would be both op and the ‘boys’ could very well be found guilty of sex offences and be placed on the offender register for a while which would totally destroy any career prospects. So boys don’t send d**k pics unless asked no woman has ever seen one and thought wow I must have that in my life

    I had a gut ding my car and refuse to give me the necessary details to file for an insurance claim. Insurance suggested I ask the police for help. With the details I had the police were only able to find the guy’s mother phone number so called her to make enquiries. I had the information I needed within hours. (I do kind love the visual image of the gut getting a bollocking from his mother for being a full)

    We like to be bad to others, but if others are bad with ourselves we ask if we did something wrong I say so because once I was a little child, so I do my best to be respectful with other children. I love my parents, so I try to be the best with others parents and as everyone has someone beloved I would like to think we try to be proud of the good things we have been taught and learnt. We are not perfect, but I am 100% sure that these mothers back up the girl because they did not teach that to their sons and keep asking why she told them, so...

    Well..have to disagree here, only for the sake of being adult. Problem is, these asshats are doing it to other women and will continue to. Being in college means you're of legal age, and an "adult". Fine, take those screen shots. By all means. Put them on backup so you can always access them. The college does not want the publicity that'd come with that stuff going public. People can actually get charges for assault and stalking and harassment when you have that type of proof. There's too many avenues to get them and the school in a world of crap without dragging Mom into it. Why is it her problem, or fault? I'm sure Mom didn't raise them that way. The son is an adult. Mom can't make him do anything from afar. Maybe the son is a monster to her, too. Maybe the guy is an abusive jerk. Maybe he hates women. Maybe his dad taught him this. Just seems to pass the boys' BS onto others instead of dealing with it yourself.

    Yeah, yeah and this will be bloody unpopular as a comment but women need better protection than a loving father hoping and 'imagining' that their son wouldn't. Don't you think that the fathers of these guys would say the same thing? Needs ramming down boys' throats that this is not okay as some of them aren't getting the message. I've known boys who thought it was 'minor' and a 'laugh'. Their parents I expect didn't imagine they would do it either. Nope. Sorry, and I do mean sorry, as it's unpalatable as a thought but someone is the parent of the boys doing this sh-it and they're missing it.

    I’m still waiting for Congress to pass the law that states sending unsolicited NSFW pics are the same as “flashing” and should be treated as the sex crime they are. That’s literally what it is anyway just an innovative way of doing it. No normal person flashes their private parts online or in person unless they were asked to

    I love your comment. I love the image of that mama who only has to use 'The Voice's or 'The Look' to put her children perfectly in line. I only wish all moms knew their secret, because the reality is that for some reason not all moms are so authoritative and not all children so obedient. I know a man who I could see doing some gross bullying like this, and his mom would be horrified, and she would talk to him about it, but ultimately she would be helpless. His issues run too deep and she can't change his behavior any more than she can change the color of the sky. Still, it's worth a try. The OP is NTA.

    I don’t even send NSFW images to my partner. She doesn’t need that kind of horrific sight on her phone! Once the image has gone digital and your cloud provider has swerved their job and accidentally given the world access to your photo stream then it’s in the public domain FOREVER and no one needs that. Add in the more important fact that no one’s daughter, sister, mother or anyone else for that matter needs or wants to see your latest dickpick or your naked torso and it’s best to not send them in the first place. Good on her for highlighting their lack of respect for her and shining a light on their idiocy.

    The really sad and horrifying thing is that many women have been indoctrinated into the same misogynistic thinking in regards to inequality in consequence. My sister was getting harassed in a similar way and just the notion of reporting them triggered a couple of female friends. It’s likely some men react this way, but I’m certain some women do, too. Regardless of their gender, not great advice from a friend & I worry equally about their thinking as I do being assaulted & bullied like this example.

    NTA but she should also go again to the school. If she's in the US, their behavior violates Title IX. By law, there must be a Title IX officer or coordinator on campus, and the college must have a system of reporting. She can go to the police also. The campus procedures are meant for internal justice (getting someone removed from a class, removed from campus, put on probation, etc.).

    Not only NTA but this is what I have told my own students to do. About 10 years ago we were discussing cyberbullying and I told them to never delete and to screenshot anywhere the bully could delete. One girl took all of the comments one boy wrote to her and took screenshots directly to his house and to school. He deleted the comments and then cried when his mom saw them. Anything you wouldn't want your mom to see shouldn't be sent to someone who could show it to your mom.

    Not sure where she is at, but if it's in the USA, many states have laws that prohibit harassment and stalking through electronic devices like phones and computers. You can not only have them charged with harassment..especially if they sent any pick of a sexual nature which will also earn them a spot on the Sex offenders registry...but you can also sue them for any costs you may have to endure like getting a new phone/number...relocating to a new address..etc.

    I have done something similar, each time I get an unsolicited d**k pic. Or more if someone asked me do I want a d**k pic and I specifically explain to them not to send one, and they do, then I copy our messages and the pic. Then I post on their wall and tag anyone that I believe is either related to them or might be in a relationship with them. I've been threatening but I've had to explain if you're mad at someone harm yourself. You made this. I've been told my mama saw this. And I explained that my children's mother saw this too and they found it just as inappropriate as your mother did. It also teaches my children ( both are sons) what not to do

    I mean, it's not like she set it up so any message they sent her got forwarded to all their friends and the university admin and the police and their bosses (if they have jobs). I mean, that's probably a good next step if they don't stop, but trying to handle it privately with the help of their family members seems much more tactful than all the things she could have done. She could have posted them online for all the world to see.

I told the counselor and she called his mom who said that I was the one who seduced him. Without knowing any context or even who I was. She came in and I was forced to sit with her in the counselor's office. Her son was never even called in. She insisted it wasn't her son's w**g in the pics. So I followed up with yet more pics, with his face in them. She shut up after that. I was sent back to class. He didn't even get into any trouble. He was about to graduate and I "should think about his future and how this would affect his possible employment/college life".

    We like to be bad to others, but if others are bad with ourselves we ask if we did something wrong I say so because once I was a little child, so I do my best to be respectful with other children. I love my parents, so I try to be the best with others parents and as everyone has someone beloved I would like to think we try to be proud of the good things we have been taught and learnt. We are not perfect, but I am 100% sure that these mothers back up the girl because they did not teach that to their sons and keep asking why she told them, so...

    Literally everything you need to know about this story can be read in the one sentence on the first page. Jesus half the posts on here now are dumb s**t.

    Well..have to disagree here, only for the sake of being adult. Problem is, these asshats are doing it to other women and will continue to. Being in college means you're of legal age, and an "adult". Fine, take those screen shots. By all means. Put them on backup so you can always access them. The college does not want the publicity that'd come with that stuff going public. People can actually get charges for assault and stalking and harassment when you have that type of proof. There's too many avenues to get them and the school in a world of crap without dragging Mom into it. Why is it her problem, or fault? I'm sure Mom didn't raise them that way. The son is an adult. Mom can't make him do anything from afar. Maybe the son is a monster to her, too. Maybe the guy is an abusive jerk. Maybe he hates women. Maybe his dad taught him this. Just seems to pass the boys' BS onto others instead of dealing with it yourself.

    I'm surprised that boys that would do that have mothers who would care that they did it. (I'm a father of three children in their early 20s, and I can't imagine my only son doing this.)

    Yeah, yeah and this will be bloody unpopular as a comment but women need better protection than a loving father hoping and 'imagining' that their son wouldn't. Don't you think that the fathers of these guys would say the same thing? Needs ramming down boys' throats that this is not okay as some of them aren't getting the message. I've known boys who thought it was 'minor' and a 'laugh'. Their parents I expect didn't imagine they would do it either. Nope. Sorry, and I do mean sorry, as it's unpalatable as a thought but someone is the parent of the boys doing this sh-it and they're missing it.
