Reply To: Have I done The Right Thing?

I actually think you could have said something along the lines of “This is inappropriate, and you should be ashamed of yourselves. Go do something productive with your lives”. I disagree with “Oomis” and “Zeeskeit” who say that your non-response was in effect a response because these immature and at-risk boys don’t necassarily see it that way. In their minds you were maybe just a little timid for this. All it takes is the next girl who maybe is starving for attention and then we all know where that road leads to. So although there are some valid reasons for not responding, I believe there are some valid responses as well. Either way, you “Observanteen” should not beat yourself up over this. All you can do know is read through these posts and think for yourself how you would like to react next time should something like this ever happen again. That’s what life is all about. We train ourselves to react appropriately to different situations by reflecting on our own values and experiences and working on improving ourselves. If you continuously review and refine your values and principals, eventually reacting properly to all situations in life becomes second nature and after 120 years you can return your soul to the Creator as perfect and pristine as humanly possible.
