As parents, we tend to teach our children to know right from wrong, but oftentimes, because of different reasons, we fail. One father learned that his daughter was bullying a girl who had cancer at school. Things went far and she even pulled the girl’s wig off. This made the father angry so he decided to take matters in his own hands and punished his daughter in a way that caused a stir, as well as mixed emotions, on the Internet. Since many slammed him for how he dealt with his bully daughter, the father later deleted the post.
“My ex-wife and I have a 16-year-old daughter together of which I have full custody (she has moved on with her new family)… My daughter recently got in trouble at school for making fun of a student that lost her hair from cancer treatment. Including pulling off her wig,” he started his post.
“Apparently there is some pre-existing bad blood between the two of them, but I don’t think that even begins to excuse her behavior.”
As it turned out, his daughter was now dating this other girl’s ex-boyfriend and that was the reason why they weren’t fond of each other.
“At some point the other girl mentioned how my daughter’s boyfriend was just using her for sex (this was actually a big shock to me as I had no idea she was sexually active) and called my daughter a sl*t,” the father shared with CafeMom. “That’s what escalated the situation and resulted in the wig incident. Supposedly they have been arguing in class ever since my daughter started dating the guy in question. Basically just stupid teenage ‘he said she said’ nonsense.”After he learned of what was going on and what his daughter did, he gave her two options to choose from in order to teach her a lesson. The first one was for him to throw all her electronics away, and the second one was for her to go to the hairdresser and get a bald haircut. The daughter chose the latter and went to school with a bald head.
“…Everyone thinks I went way overboard. Her mother went ballistic at me saying it will make her the target of bullying (kind of the point, teach her some compassion),” the father wrote.
He believed he did just the right thing, but not many agreed with him. A lot of people took their time to comment on the situation. One person wrote: “Your daughter is a bully because you are a bully. I seriously doubt this is the first time you used abuse and humiliation to ‘teach her a lesson.’” Another person added: “There’s a term for what you did. It’s called child abuse. Taking away her electronics would have been an appropriate punishment. Grounding her would have been an appropriate punishment. Disrespecting her right to bodily autonomy and humiliating her is not an appropriate punishment. She’s unlikely to learn from it and if anything it risks perpetuating a cycle of bullying.”
However, there were also those who praised his parenting. “I support your decision completely. You’re her parent so you have every right to do this, it’s not abusive, it’s real life. If she’s comfortable attacking someone for something they have no choice over she needs to see how it feels,” someone in support of the father wrote.
“She will see what kind of impact actions like hers have on the victim and that will teach her a very important lesson,” another supporter added.

«This Is Why Celebrities Need To Stop Using Filters.» People Didn’t Recognize Jennifer Lopez in a Recent Interview
Jennifer Lopez shook the world with the news of her new album «This Is Me… Now». Recently, she gave an interview that immediately went viral. However, it’s not just about J.Lo’s music but also her appearance. People everywhere started discussing her «unrecognizable» face.
Why ’This Is Me… Now’ may be her final album.
In a recent interview, Jennifer Lopez shared some surprising news for fans eagerly awaiting her upcoming album, “This Is Me… Now”. The multi-talented star hinted that this album might signal the end of her music career.
Discussing the album’s creation process, Lopez revealed that they explored various album cover designs to create something special for her fans, ensuring they had collector’s items to cherish. However, she admitted uncertainty about her future in music, stating that she doesn’t know if she’ll ever make another album after this one.
In a light-hearted moment, Lopez jokingly mentioned not wanting her manager Benny Medina to know about her thoughts, saying, “Don’t tell Benny that that’s what I’m thinking — this might be my last album ever.”
Reflecting on her previous album, “This Is Me… Then,” released 22 years ago during her relationship with Ben Affleck, Lopez acknowledged the evolution of her personal and professional life since then. Despite the possibility of this being her final album, she remains open to new opportunities, emphasizing that while she would “never say never,” she put her heart and soul into this project and feels fulfilled. For Lopez, “This Is Me… Now” symbolizes the end of one era and the beginning of another.
The star had a minimal makeup look.
Dressed elegantly in all-black with gold hoop earrings, Lopez looked stunning as she shared insights about her latest projects. However, her appearance sparked mixed reactions. Some viewers found her look “unrecognizable” and “different” from her usual glamorous style.
Comments on social media platforms reflected a mix of opinions on Jennifer Lopez’s recent interview appearance. Some viewers were taken aback by her minimal makeup, with comments like, “Her eyes look weird,” and “Where are her eyelashes?” questioning the departure from her usual glamorous style. Others speculated about possible reasons for her appearance, with remarks like, “What happened to her face?” and “She looks tired.”
Fans flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts. «I feel like she did her own makeup… Like she didn’t even put on lashes, or at least mascara…like she tried it!».
«Now understand when my grandma told me once, literally one day you wake up and you start looking your age. Her day got here,» commented one. «This is why celebrities need to stop using filters. Once you see the real them, it shocks us how „old“ they look. JLo looks great for her age,» added another.
However, amidst these critiques, there were also positive reactions, with some praising Lopez’s overall look as «beautiful» and «gorgeous.» These comments show how people see things differently when it comes to celebrities. Some might not like changes from the norm, while others appreciate authenticity and natural beauty.
«She’s 54! Get over it! She’s got a lil wrinkle here and there…she looks great even with less makeup,» one wrote.«She looks beautiful embracing her age she looks more natural and more her age she’s glowing,» added another.
Someone wrote that people will always find something to criticise celebrities for. «If she wears too much makeup people say ’Why is she wearing so much make up? Why is she trying to be young?’ And still hate when her makeup is minimal!»
She also talked about her husband Ben Affleck.
Lopez also shared that her recent reunion with her husband, Ben Affleck, inspired her to return to songwriting. She mentioned that music tends to flow more when she’s happy and in love. Affleck’s unwavering support was pivotal during the creative process, as Lopez referred to him as her “biggest fan and cheerleader.” Therefore, the album holds sentimental value for her, symbolizing a chapter in both her love life and career.
Some comments suggested that Affleck had caused Lopez to appear older. One commenter wrote, “Ben has aged her,” while another remarked, “She seems fixated on Ben.” Conversely, others disagreed, highlighting Lopez’s natural beauty regardless of whether she was dressed up or in more casual attire.
Jennifer Lopez has been at the peak of fame for over 20 years, and every move she makes is discussed worldwide. Her personal life is no exception. Recently, people started questioning why Ben Affleck looks unhappy in photos with his wife. JLo couldn’t withstand the scrutiny and provided an answer.
