[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I viewed using the word "a**hole" as a description of the child's behavior. It's "a**hole" behavior. So yes, I was criticizing the child's behavior.

Also my friend's lecture focused on the idea that it's unfair for me to be so negative about this kid because of her age, like she's not responsible for her behavior because she's so young. So I was responding to what my friend said. Others in the thread have argued the same thing, that by calling her an a**hole I wasn't leaving space for her to evolve as a person or something.

Just clarifying.[/quote]

You 100% did not describe her behavior. This is precisely what you wrote that you said in your first post:

[i]Yeah, I'm looking forward to middle because it will be nice to get away from this little ***hole[/i]

That’s not remotely describing her behavior. That is calling a child by a pejorative name.

So, yes, you outright lied in your title. You are  now trying to wiggle out of it, because of course it is appalling for adults to call children names, but we have your own words here.

OP has shown pretty consistently that she does not understand, for whatever reason, why it’s not OK to call a kid an a**hole. So one would not reasonably expect her post title to call this out. There was no lie. It’s actually kind of the point of the discussion and why many of us (and OP’s friend) are calling out OP for her behavior.[/quote]
