Bitchitorial
(The view from the Editor's Chair)
Dec 8th, 2003
This week's guest Bitchitorial Editor is JadeSyren, providing a little Heartless "Advice"...
Dear HBI,
I have not yet signed on to be a member of HBI because I feel I don't
have the experience needed yet. But I need some help from people who
know how to handle what my sister is going through.
A little background: I'm 20, in college, she's 16, in high school. She's really a wonderful person,
she had a rough year back when she started high school, she drank and tried weed and all that, but she's fairly normal I suppose. She "messed around" with a couple of boys, but has never had sex. Gynecologically verified, in case you're wondering.
So the story begins with one of her boyfriends in 9th grade; this little asshole bragged to his friends that she was whipped and his kids dad, who was also the Resource Officer at the high school came up to her once and said in front of a lot of her friends that he heard she was "on my sons nuts." and various other lewd comments, obviously, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, etc. etc..
That relationship, thankfully, didn't last long.
She's a junior now, older and wiser, she's started going to a church of her own choosing and has become stronger because of her faith. I don't say that because my family is very religious, we're not, I say that because she knows what her priorities are, she works hard, she does good things for other people and she stays true to herself. She becoming a competent woman with more than her fair share to contribute to society.
She hasn't had a boyfriend for a long time, but recently, she called me up at school, excited that a guy she had liked for a while wanted to go out with her. He gave her his class ring and all that and it seemed like a good change for her, someone who actually cared. But as things often go, five days later, she called in tears and said he'd broken up with her.
The little prick from 9th grade had decided to tell not only her new boyfriend, but first the whole baseball team and then the rest of his friends, that he had slept with her and that she was really slutty.
The new boyfriend, obviously not what he pretended to be, broke up with her and sent a NOTE, that's right A NOTE, telling her he couldn't go out with a whore.
So, in the interest not only of my sister, but of all womankind,
I need to bring these two young gentlemen down to earth and to the reality that a small penis doesn't make it OK for you to do that to someone's reputation. I guess what I'm saying is, I want the karmic justice to be leveled my way.
The universe might be too easy on them. I've considered legal avenues, slander and sexual harassment, as well as guidance counselors and the principal.
Considering his father is a policeman, I think this might prove difficult and let's face it, her high school probably won't give a shit.
So, what's a heartlessly bitchy way to deal with this?
Or is it impossible? Should I be trying to tell her to keep her head up and not let it get to her, or should I hand out pamphlets with his name, address and telephone number that say he has genital warts and 3 in. penis? Should I call a guidance counselor and risk the harassment getting worse when he gets in trouble? I'm totally frustrated over this and I need some sort of Bitch-to-the-Rescue service or something.
If you have any thoughts, or even if you want to put me in Weak of the Week, or on the hurl-inducing list, it's OK, I just don't want this to send her backwards to insecurity and caving to peer pressure, she's come too far.
If you just have advice on what to say, that's fine too, I realize full-fledged revenge might be unreasonable. It just makes me feel better to think about it.
