Redditors Applaud Lady Who Screenshotted the Unsolicited Texts Sent to Her by Classmates and Sent Them to Their Parents
People have their own ways of handling men who pester them.
Why is it that a lady can’t take a walk without being bothered by men on the streets? Is it so hard for them to understand that we don’t want to be disturbed?
The worst part is when they obtain your number and make it their duty to keep texting and calling, even when you make it clear that you are not interested. People have their own ways of handling men like this, but others have to deal with them in a more unique way.
The Redditor in today’s story didn’t have it any easier, but she devised a means to tackle the issue. She shared her short story on the AITA subreddit community to find out whether she went too far with her actions.
She’s an 18-year-old who has been bullied and harassed by three of her classmates. These individuals even went so far as to message her with gross and harassing texts.
Ordinarily, one would expect that the OP would block or even report them, but she didn’t. She chose to handle things her own way by screenshotting the texts and sending them to each of the parents of these boys.
Was her effort worth it? Find out as you keep scrolling further.

The OP Added an Edit Due to the Questions and Comments

No one has the right to harass or send you unsolicited pictures online, but we still find some men doing this. So it’s no surprise when women find new ways to tackle the situation because it can get so annoying.
Did you like the move made by this Redditor? Have you dealt with guys like this before?
