You don't know me. A confession I can't take back. I am... The last speaker. Text to 78592 says, last year in college, I used to go into random empty lecture halls and write class cancelled on the whiteboard. So funny. Must have ruined a few people's grades. Wow. But you know, the best part about failing college classes is that you get more college. You have to pay for it. It's not cheap. I'm ready to beer bong somebody's secrets right now. Straight to the dome here on the mass speaker. And we've got a woman on the line ready to confess she's chosen Kara as her fake identity. So Kara, welcome to the show. Hey, thanks you guys. Put the beer bong down, Kara. We'll get to that after your secret is done. Because the voice changer is on. You are our mass speaker. So whenever you're ready, let's hear your confession. Okay, so I have a couple of kids. My oldest daughter was getting bullied in middle school by some other girls. Oh, man. A couple other girls, you said? Yeah, those mean girls. And sometimes she came home in tears with these stories about how they would make fun of her. Back tag. Teaser about her hairstyle or even trip her in the hall. Oh, my gosh. That's terrible. Did you talk to the school? You know, she told her teachers about it. She did, okay. But they never really did anything to stop it. So I explained to her that usually bullies they lash out because they're not happy with themselves. They're either jealous or they have things going on at home. So they try to hurt others in order to feel better. And she understood that, but that explanation didn't stop those bullies from continuing to be awful. What? She didn't turn to him and say, hey, listen, you've got some inner issues that you need to deal with. How about you go to a therapist? Quick, before you punch me, give me a hug. Yeah, I know you need it. Come here. Well, it was a little worse than that. Oh, no. And so the bullying continued until one day I got a call from the principal who said I had to come down immediately and talk with him about some disciplinary issues regarding my daughter. Wait, what? Regarding your daughter, I thought it was going to be regarding those two brats. So I was like, oh my God, what happened? So I go to the school and the principal tells me apparently one of the other girls was giving my daughter hard time again in the halls and my daughter lashed out and was like, oh, yeah? Well, you're the reason your dad left. Oh, no! We were gonna stuck around to raise me. Oh, my God. That was a sick burn, though. You're just an a-hole who hates themselves. Yeah! Oh, that's true! She's using mommy's words and bringing them out. Well, I didn't exactly use those words. Oh, my God. I don't know about the dad thing, but the other thing is probably spot on for sure. Well, actually, that dad did leave, which sucks, but... Oh, so it was true. Okay. Yeah, so it's obviously not right that she said that, but I'm gonna defend her right to stand up for herself. So I told the principal, are you aware that these other kids have been bullying her for months? Yeah. She reported it to the teachers, and absolutely nothing has been done. Right, like, what else is she supposed to do? Just, yeah. Exactly. And so he's like, oh, we understand, but what your daughter did, she crossed the line and her words were so mean and so unacceptable. We just don't tolerate this here at school. I'm not even kidding me, dude. Yeah. I understand why you'd want her to defend herself, but also not also the solution. There's a line, I guess. I disagree. More bullying can stop bullying. Fight fire with fire. I don't think that's the message from the bullying campaigns. Yeah. Well, I said, what did you want my daughter to do in the future? Like, she's getting harassed over and over all day long. What should she do? And he's like, well, just tell her to keep reporting it, but don't retaliate. Oh, God. I was livid at this point. I said, do you just want her to sit there and take it and do nothing and let herself be harassed? Yeah. Right, Brooke? I feel like you were bullied in school, Jeff. Oh, my God. I was bullied mercilessly. The kids would always be like, oh, I bet your parents' horse farm isn't even beachfront. And I would cry so long. How dare they? I was like, I don't know what this is. See, it wasn't enough. So I get where your daughter's coming from, Kara. I feel for her. So what did you do? I was so furious. I looked at him in the eye and I was like, OK, moron. And his eyes got really big. And I said, you are a pathetic, sad, balding little man. Oh, yeah. How long? You said this to the principal? Oh, my gosh. I was ill-fitting and his tie looked like it was rescued out of a dumpster. Oh, well, I can see Jeff, hey, leave my suit alone. I told him he was the worst principal in the history of the school and that everybody hated him. Were you there for 10 minutes just going on and on? Oh, my gosh. Oh, yeah. I said your family probably hates you. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Wow. So then he stands up and he yells, you cannot speak to me that way. Yeah, and then when you say... That's actually valid in this point. I yelled back at him and I said, what? What? You're supposed to just take it and go report it to a teacher. I bullied you, so just take it, right? Yeah, just sit there and I'll go. I don't get it. You want my daughters to say anything so you shouldn't say anything. Exactly. And I'm going to trip you in a minute. Pull your underwear over your head. I'm going to go real quiet for like 10, 12 seconds. And then he goes, I see your point, man. I will fangle it. No. So he said my daughter was free to go home and after that the bullying stopped. Isn't that amazing? Wow. You just have to bully him a little for him to get it. See, Brooke, you were wrong. Bullying does work. Yes. Fight, fire, win, fire. No, that is not our message. Daughters, principals, and they will come out better for it. Just a little bit. Just a little bit. That was more than a little bit, man. Yeah, that was... And the message got through clearly. Exactly. You're a hero. I felt like it. I really honestly did. Good. I just want to know when the principal booked an appointment in Turkey to get hair plucks. See, everybody wins, Brooke. You're right. I'm sure you're going to be a little bit more confident about what you're going to be holding on to. We'll hide your identity, mask your voice, and make you our next masked speaker. We got your phone tab coming up right after this.
