Poor Beth-Anne. Hopefully Tanya will believe her side and forgive her
It. Was. *Yesterday*.
How many people, let alone children, are ready to forgive a serious injury within HOURS?
I know it was. Did I say that she needed to forgive her today? No I didn’t. Hopefully she can in time.
I’m sorry if my first reply sounded rude to you, I wasn’t trying to be. Forgive me if it sounded like I was being rude.
I do know it was just a day or two ago when she was assaulted. And I know that Tanya won’t forgive her that easily. I hope that Tonya can forgive her one day for it, after realizing that she (Tanya) put herself into that position by punching Beth-Anne (even though Beth-Anne and group pushed Kaleb off the table bench).
She didn’t put Beth into ANY position. After she got gut-punched, that should have been the end of it. It should have been, “ok, so the spaz has a bodyguard. Learned MY lesson.” Beth-Anne initiated the follow-up by 1: telling her friends, and 2: not trying to talk them down. Instead of learning her lesson, she ESCALATED things. That’s NOT Tanya’s fault.
And not to mention, Tanya was tasked with keeping an eye on Kaleb in the event that he had a seizure at school, or whenever he wasn’t at home. And Tanya took that to punish those who hurt Kaleb to the point that he has seizures.
Why should Tanya ever have to forgive Beth-Anne?
Because, at some point, Tanya might realize that Beth-Anne only wanted to scare her, not have her r*ped.
When I was in 4th grade, I was stabbed by another kid. I forgive that kid a few years later after realizing that kids are often stupid. I know that being stabbed isn’t the same at being r*ped, but still, Tanya could forgive Beth-Anne for leading her into there. Tanya can be mad and hate Jestan for life since he was the one who r*ped her, not Beth-Anne.
Again, why should Tanya ever have to forgive Beth-Anne? Let the wording of the question sink in for a moment before responding. So some little shit attacked you, assaulted you with deadly force that’d get an adult put in prison for attempted murder if they did the same thing, and you forgave said little shit for whatever reason. Good for you! What does that have to do with Tanya, though? She and Kaleb are both victims here. Beth-Anne is just as guilty for Tanya being raped as Jestan. It’s no different than charging an accomplice with the death of a… Read more »
She didn’t only want to scare her, she wanted to do some insane ultraviolence to her beyond any proportionality or reasonable justification. Imagine if the assault had stopped with taping her up, beating/stabbing her into a hospital trip and, let’s not forget, attacking caleb, too. Imagine beth-anne being totally unrepentant about her actions, since she’s still fine with those aspects of the beatdown. Would we really have apologists defending her? I probably don’t want to know that answer to that. Still, the point should be made that being repentant for only some of the inexcusable misconduct you did doesn’t carry… Read more »
Beth-Anne is going to have to do a lot to convince Tanya that she didn’t want things to go as far as they did. And I do think that what will convince Tanya is if Beth-Anne talked to the police and turned both Laroy and Jestan in. Hopefully Tanya does apologize to Beth-Anne for gut punching her and that the two become friends.
I don’t think Tanya could ever be friends with Beth-Anne for failing to protect her. She’ll hate her for life.
I think Tanya is much more likely to hold a grudge due to Beth-Anne’s participation in putting her in the hospital rather than her failure to help later. I.e, hate her for what she *did* rather than what she *didn’t* do.
Tanya has nothing to apologize for. The gut punch was justified after what she did to Kaleb, which is what started this whole mess in the first place. If those three hadn’t been such bastards, so dead set on asserting their dominance over some perceived “territory” then none of this mess would’ve happened. There were plenty of other tables and benches to pick from, but they had to go out of their way and start a mess at the one occupied table they found that we were shown.
Well, as we all know how calm and logical Tanya is, I’m quite certain she realizes her own part in how Beth-Anne wanted revenge on her for her own attack on the older girl, and will totally forgive her for the parts of the events that were beyond her control.

I remember reading this years ago:Harry Schmidt’s War – Chicago Magazine
There were three letters to the editor from Canadians printed in response, none of whom sympathized with Harry Schmidt.
There was indeed a rocket slide…
