Pointing Fingers
Talk about a situation in which you had to "throw someone under the bus" in order not to get in trouble. Did you feel guilty about blaming that person? Was it worth it? What type of situation was it? What type of punishment was at stake to make you point fingers at someone else--was it the possiblity of being grounded by your parents, getting in trouble at school, having your boy/girlfriend break up with you, or something else entirely?

One time i had to point fingers at someone because...
we(louis,keke,me and my cusin misti),well we were all playing in my house next to my moms new lamps and misti pushed me really hard and i fell back and bumped the lamp off the corner table and the lamp fell and hit the floor and broke in like a million peices.so my mom came down stairs and started yelling at all of us. we were all scared of course cause my mom is crazy so keke and louis pointed to me and i literally pointed to my cusin misti at the end of things we all got in alot of trouble and were still not aloud to play around in my living room next to any funiture my mom says her kids are to clumsy to be around any glass in the house.so that was one time i had to point finger at someone else.
Yea...When I was like in 3rd grade, I'd broken my leg & was sitting at home, bored, & I decided to scratch my name into this desk w/ a pin...lol...Anyway, my mom saw & asked me about it & I said it was my sister...
Yes, well one time like last summer in about august... i think me and my two friends chris and john were in my house (which my parents werent home) on the computer and my computer is right next to the window and we saw some of these kids we didnt like so we opened the window and starting yelling at them and they stopped and these kids were in the same grade as us but went to a differnt school and then they stopped and starting saying stuff so then we told john to go out and start telling them to go away then they said no and started cursing and we went out and starting cursing. so they went away and went to their house and brang their mom over to my house! how gay. but his mom came over and starting yelling asking for my mom she wasnt home, and all me and my friend said it was john and he got in some trouble and me and my friend did it but i guess i feel bad about it since we got him in trouble saying he said it all, i would have got grounded and it affected me and my friend john for about a couple of weeks but we are now friends again.
i use to do it often but then i just stopped putting myself in situations where i had to balme some one else. the one time i remember first was when i told my mother that i was going to a party but really i was going to my boyfriend's house and then i got caught and so i told my mother that it was my best friend's fought. i told her that she was the one driving and she fooled me into thinking that we was going to a party but she took me some where else and i stood with her because she was my only ride. i quickly called my best friend and told her what i did so that if my mother was to call her with any questions she would know how the story went. I knew that my best friend would have my back cause she knows how strict my parents are and her parents are so cool about her going out. my best friend's mother also had my back. my mother never found out where i was really at just that i wasn't at a party so my punishment wasn't that bad. i was not allowed to see my best friend anymore but i wasn't that worried because i knew aventually she would let me because me and her are like blood. a couple of weeks later she did.
I've never been in one of these situations. If i did it, I'll admit it. I'm not going to sit and waste your time, and my breath, because of a stupid lie that might screw me over in the long run. If anything, I'll take the blame for someone else. I'm the girl most people blame so they dont get in trouble, and thats fine with me. I'm here for one reason, protecting my friends, and making people smile, so there's no need to "throw someone else under the bus" When I'm right there anyway.
when i was younger i used to always make my sister take the blame for things i did. but this past summer i had a party at my house while my parents were gone and the next week i was going to lbi with alot of my old friends. so the day after the party there was someones hoodie in my parents room. well when they came home my mom flipped because she knew it wasn't mine. i begged my sister to take the blame so i could go to lbi. and as a good younger sister she did. so when i came back from lbi i showered her with gifts. i dont really feel that bad because i know there willl be a time when i will do the same for her.
YEA...I WAS MAKING COOKIES FOR THANKSGIVING AND I BROUGHT THEM TO MY GRANDMA HOUSE. THEN WE ATE TURKEY AND ALL THAT.. THEN WHEN MY AUNT TOOK OUT THE COOKIES SHE ATE ONE AND SAID THEY TASTED HORRIBLE..I TOLD HER THAT IT WAS ONLY THE FIRST BATCH I MADE BECAUSE I BURNT THEM AND THEN SHE SAID ALL OF THEM WERE NASTY. SO I TOLD HER THAT MY COUSIN MADE THEM AND I HELPED A LITTLE. SO THEN SHE BELIEVED ME AND GOT ON HER ABOUT IT.. I DIDNT FEEL BAD THOUGH BECAUSE IT WAS STUPID.. BUT MY AUNT WAS MAKING FUN OF HER AND HOW BAD SHE IS AT BAKING AND NEVER TO BECOME A COOK EVER..
One time in 6th grade I had a best friend named Stephanie. We always had class bathroom breaks before english. When Steph and I were talking the teacher yelled at me to be quiet and that I would have a SHOUT detention. I certainly was not going to let myself serve a detention because i knew my mom would kill me, so I told the teacher it was Stephanie who was talking and she ended up having to stay for detention! She was mad at me and i knew it was the wrong thing to do, but we got over it really quikly.
This is a good question, but also a hard one. The only thing that I can ever remember was like, when I was little, and I would take something without asking. Ofcourse not thinking about the consequences. Then when I was about to get in trouble for doing it, I would blame it on my little cousin, that is only a year younger than me. I would do that because I didn't want to get yelled at by my elders, or get timeout or some rediculous punishment. Then feeling rediculously guilty, I would confess that it was really me and then I would get sent to my room or something stupid like that.
I do not think that it was even worth wasting my breath or mind making up a stupid lie to get someone else in trouble instead of myself. That is really thing that I can think of at this moment. I definitely think of things before I do them now.
I have never blamed anyone in my life I always felt it was wrong and always managed to talk myself out of any trouble I could think I could get myself in. I just have never felt the need to point fingers at anyone.
When I was younger was when this was mostly obseved. Lol I tried to sound a little smart. Anyway, there was one time where I had stuck my finger into this cake that was sitting in the refrigerator for something special the next day. I was wondering around, felt a little rumble in my belly, so I decided to look in the fridge to see what I could eat. My brother just happened to be with me in the kitchen. I saw the cake and the temptation just took over me. Then my mom came in, saw the cake and yelled "WHO DIPPED THEIR FINGER IN THE CAKE LIKE THIS?!" I didnt want to get in trouble by my mom, so I pointed at my brother. He got in trouble for the moment, until my sister told my mom that I was indeed the one who did it. Ah well. Now, I dont point fingers at anybody. It's better just to take the blame for something rather than getting someone else in trouble and having a high chance of getting yourself caught in the long run.
Yes i have, one day at wrestling practice we had to run three signs. if you dont know that is a pretty far run its about 2 miles. Right about after mile i get a littel tired but i tell my self im not gona walk. well our coaches hide in places so we dont walk. well one of my other teammeates ask if i wanted to walk with him. So eventually i give in and do unlucky for me right were we were walking the coachwas right there. So whern we got back into oackrest h confruntied me and the i pointed the finger at my teammeat and then we both got into trouble and had to run more.
yes one time i was playing x-box and my mom yelled up the stairs. she asked why was the living room dirty. idid not do it so i belamed my little sister. My sister hit me and said i did not do it. then my mom made her clean the living room and i went back to playing x-box.I did not feel bad for bleaming my sister. She was mad at me for like five minuets then she forgot what happened.
yes, when i was in fith grade i had a teacher who was mean. One day she said something nasty to the class and i called her. I cant say, but she heard it and i blamd it on the kid to the left of me. So he got a detention. i felf realy gilty and i told him i will do anything to get him not to tell the teacher. The next day i told the teacher it was me. She gave me two detention and i had to right an essay why i said it and why i lied. It wasnt worht it she just got meaner.
When I was little I had gotten in so much trouble by saying the wrong word. But I blamed it on my sister because she said it too. So if I was going to get in trouble she's going down with me. My sister just told my mom that it was her so I wouldn't get in trouble. Which I love her so much for doing that. Because most sisters wouldn't do that for there sister. They would just blame you. I'm happy that I have older sisters to watch my back.
TO the tell the truth i have never been in one of those situations where i have to tell on someone else..One reason is because i dont like to rat people out.I think thats just so childish or wuteva..why would I want to see someone else get into trouble.thats why when im in a situation like that i say i dont know what happened or i dont kno who it dealt with.
Another reason why i have neva been in that type of situtaion is becuase usually if im the one that did something wrong im usually the one to say i did it and im sorry for whateva i did.Therefore no one will be able to point fingers at me and i wont have to lie and point fingers at someone else.
Well, I do think that I have been in that kind of situation. I just really can't remember it. I don't really think that it was to the extent where I had felt bad, but I think that it was the kind of thing that was funny and there was no grudge to be held between me and the other person. I actually think that it was something with my sister, and we just seem to do that kind of stuff to each other because it's fun and we know that we will get back at each other somehow.
Yes that has happened to me not recently tho because like dumebi, ratting poeple out and forcing them to get punished for my actions doesnt seem fair to me.
A time it did happen to me was when I was about six or seven years old. I used a certain word repeatedly and ofcourse I knew it was worng but I did it anyways. My mom and dad ofcourse told me not to say that and that if I did I would get grounded. I ended up saying it again but to get myslef out of trouble I had told my parents that my cousin taught me the word. My mom called my aunt and told him. I got away with it and my cousin got blamed for it. I feel bad but its not that big of a deal cause he was only 10. So no serious actionS were going to be taken obviously over something so small.
it was just this past summer and my boyfriend had heard a rumor about me and something i did and he was extremely upset by it. the rumor infact was true but i had told him it wasnt and i instead blamed the person who told him that they had made it up. i did feel guilty but at the time i just had to get rid of it so i lied. i eventually came out and told him it was true when the timing was right and by being honest i lost a best friend and went through a hard time with my boyfriend but we recovered and are greater then ever. i dont regret doing it or lying about it.
I have tried to remember any situation in which i pointed a finger to someone else. I can't think of any specific incident, but i'm sure that it happened when i was a little girl. My sister and I fought a lot and when she annoyed me, like always, i would blame the fights or something bad that had happened on her. My parents would then get angry with her because she is older and should know better. I didn't feel guilty because i was just a kid.
Yea, I do it all the time to my lil sister but it turns out to be funny. I don't point fingers if it is something serious only when i know when the person is not going to get into alot of trouble. For example one day I was making me some pancakes one morning and my sister was making her some cereal and I was the last person to have the milk and by accident i put the milk in the seasoning cabinet. And when my mom came into that kitchen that night to make dinner she opened up the cabinet and saw the milk in there and asked me who left the milk in the cabinet and i said it was my little sister. Now you can't say that is not funny.
I remember this one time when me and brother were fighting.He was throwing socks and all this other stuff at me.After a while I got mad and remembered that I had slippers on.I took the left slipper off and tried to throw it at his head.My brother ended up ducking and the slipper hit my mom's $500 mirror.My mom heard a sound and came to where me and brother was at.She had asked what happened and I told her that he was throwing stuff at me and he hit your mirror.When I had said this my mom had slapped my brother in the arm and told him not to play around her stuff.I kind of felt bad for lying but then again I didn't since he had kind of deserved it.If my brother had left me alone in the first place,none of this would have happened.
Inever had a situation for me to blame someone eles. I either a.) just flat out lied or b.) told the truth so I would get in less trouble.
Well...my situation is actually kind of funny. Last year I really got a kick out of throwing things on the bus. Such objects as spoons, batteries, paper balls, and so on. This particular week I was throwing spoons and water bottles. Nobody knew where it was coming from, so I blamed this kid Mike Wentz, because I didn't want to take the blame. He was told to sit in the front of the bus for half the year. Over all, I think it was worth it, but eventually I got caught also and had to sit up front. It made me laugh for the most part.
One time I broke my moms vase. My brother pushed me into it. When my mom asked what happened, I told her that my brother pushed me into the vase for no reasom. I didn't mention it to her that pushed and started a arguement with him. He got in trouble, I did too but he got in more trouble. I felt alittle guilty. Oh well.
one time my girl freinds freind heard i was doing something with a nother girl! so when my girl asked me i lied like a rug(lol), and told her it was some one else. and the person who i said it was his girl broke up with him!
I have never done that before because I know damn well if that was done to me or my family or even one of my boyz I wouldn't have that because I feel that pointing a finger for your action is basically being a little female dog.I like to be 4 real about things that i do or even think about doing you have to be able to take the rap for your own left overs Imean if you do something that bad that you have to put it on somebody else you have to think what if the kid or person was straight innocent and you just poisoned their name because your immature self couldn't stay out of trouble so you simply just try to cover up a mess with a towel instead of just getting it over with.But that's just me but i know if something that i didnt do was pointed my way that person would get delt with.
there was one time were i had to push someone over the edge to not get into trouble it was me my brother and my cuzins we wnt to a part and i had a basketball tornement the next day and i didnt wanna get in to trouble soi told my mom that i was juss hout going to wawa and happend to get home at the same time but if i would of got caught i would of not been able to play in the game. but my brother made me clean his rooms for 2 weeks or i would get in to trouble
Yes there was this one time, it was about in june, and m sister and me were jumping all over the house. And in the process of that, she triped on the carpet and with a wall.The wall had a vase, and the vase feel and broke. Since my mom wasnt their we weren't dead yet. But my sister started to cry so i told her it was going to be ok. So i took the blame for her and i got grounded, a nice woop,lol, and my computer taken away for a week. But it was worth it because, when i usually come home my sister was only here and my mom wasnt so she would let me use it and not snitch.
To be honest I dont think there was ever a time where I really "pointed fingers" but there was an incident that happened when I was younger where I did tell on my brother and sister. It was in the summer and my father and stepmom went on vacation for a week. I think I was about ten at the time and my brother and sister came into my room and told me that they were going to have a party and I had to promise not to tell my dad and Barb. Well like any little sister would I agreed because who wants their older and brother and sister to hate them. Around 12:00 pm there was at least 70 people inside the house, thankfully everything was going smoothly and nothing was broken yet. It wasn't until 2:00 pm when things started to go terribly wrong, one of my brothers good friends had been drinking and he came into my room kidding around and did a belly flop on my bed. The whole bed crashed to the floor and the drink spilt all over my bedroom floor. Once every one was out of the house my brother and sister debated on what to tell my dad and stepmom but they soon came to the conclusion that there was really no way out of this one. So when my parents returned home they asked what happened and as much as I didn't want to I told on my brother and sister but it got me out of being gorunded for a month, I figured they'd get over it.
hmm lets see ahh yes one time when i was i think 10 or 11 i was playin with a candle i accidently knocked it over and it caught our rug on fire i ran into my room and turned on the tv and acted like nothing was wrong. Then my mom came up and put it out i told her it must of been my sister because i was in my room the whole time......
Not that long ago I did blame or lets just say lie about something that I didn't do and believe me i paid the price for it. My boyfriend and his best friend were going to recieve their lettermen jackets at school and wanted me and my bestfriend to go so we could take pictures for them since it was their senior year. Well it just so happens that they come over and i never told my parents what the plans were for the evening and my dad got extremly mad at me for not telling him were I was going and when I was going to be coming home. So I told him right as I was walking out of my house to tell hime were we were going. Then he looked like okay and I knew that I shouldn't have done that. So while we were driving to their school my mother calls my cell phone and tells me that I was irresponsible and that I was going to be recieveing and nice talk when I get home. So the whole night was I so nervous becuase I knew I did something wrong and that I was going to get into trouble for it too. Which was okay with me its just that I didn't know what my punishment was and if it was my cell phone that I really didn't want to be taken away. So later that night when we got home they ate dinner at my house and then left and the talk wasn't that bad its just I know now to ALWAYS tell your parents were you are going at all times and don't try to act like you are older then you are. I was so happy I didn't get my cell phone taken away. So I mean that even though its not that bad of a thing that I did I learned to always tell my parents what I'm doing.
I had to point my finger at my sister because i didnt want to get in trouble. I was going to get in trouble for stealing my dad's last piece of sweet potatoe pie. He told no one to touch it or else, i don't know what that or else was but i'm sure it wasn't good. I said it was my sister because that pie was so good, it tase like heaven. It was worth it because i never got in trouble and she did.
one time when i was around the age of 10, I was with my cousins at my grandmothers house. We were the same age so we got along very well, then we also did a lot of crazy things to my ants and uncles. One time we were fighting about soda when no one was around and then it spilled. The whole bottle was empty and everyone came into the room. They were all mad but did not know who to be mad at. They asked us what happend and i told them the he did it and i just walked into the room. After that my cousin and I were never what we used to be because he thought he couldnt trust me. I feel bad because he was my favorite and closest cousin
I have been thinking for a while about this and i honestly dont think i did do anything like blaming someone of someting that i did and if i did i cant think of anything because i dont remember. my mom always talk me to tell the truth, and that the if you lie the truth will always come out, that she will not be mad at me if i tell her the truth, an she would be even more mad at me if i did lie, and other things like that. and so if i have ever done anything that was wrong or that i would always be ashamed of i never lied to my parents or any adult. because if the truth was to come out i wouldnt want people to think of me as a lier and i wouldnt want to lose anyones trust because that is important to me, i want people to be able to truse me
Well i know this is really bad but, i pointed my finger at my brother and my cousin and this is what hapeened. When i was at the age of 11, one day my brother and cousin were going fishing and i wanted to go, but they said that i would be in the way. I was stuck home with my mom so then i dicided to go fishing in the pond at home they had really pretty fish in there so i fished. two seconds later i cought the biggest fish that was in the pond, and of course it was my moms favoirt fish. I was feeling really horible about this becuase after i cought the fish and got it off the hook it was dead :(. So i put the fishing pole on the side of the house were my brother and cousin had theres and ran inside like nothing happened. Then my mom went outside to feed the fish and saw the fish floating on the top of the water, and she knew that my brother and cousin just had gone fishing. She asked me if she saw them and i said yeah they just got home so then when they walked into the house that day my mom screamed and i didn't want to get yelled at so i let them take the blaime. I felt really bad about this whole situation, but they deserved it because they didn't let me go fishing with them and it would have never happened if they let me. My mom still doesn't know to this day that it was me nither does my brother or cousin.
well well well im sure ive been in one of those situations. there isnt any one time that comes to mind, but im sure i did it as a child a lot. And with that said, i make my first point. Its childish to put the blame on someone else. if you cant take the consequences for your actions, then you never should have done it in the first place. i think thats just being a little B***h, if your not going to take the blame for something you did. obvious;ly u had the balls to do it , so why dont u have the balls to take your punishment? that makes no sense. and also, to blame it on someone who didnt even do it, well thats just messed up. its not worth putting your issues on someone elses plate.there is no situation, me being the age i am, that i would blame something i did on someone else. maybe when i was 5 but not at 15.
when I was little I always liked to blame things on my little sister because i hated getting in trouble. One time I had taken my moms make up bag and used them for writing on the bathroom mirror. when my parents came home and saw the mirror they asked who had done it. I of course told them it wasnt me and it was my sister who did it. She got in trouble and got sent to clean it up. But after i heard her crying that she didnt do it i confessed that it was me who had done it. So i ended up cleaning up my mess and getting yelled at in the end.
One time I was in class, and i had said something that made everyone in the class laugh but the teacher didn't like it, and when she walked over to me and asked who said it, I replied that it was the kid sitting behind me and he got in trouble but I stayed after and told the teacher he didn't do it since we were friends and I couldn't let him get in trouble. He was going to tell the teacher it was me anyway.
No situation really sticks out in my memory of me blaming someone else for something I did. As little kids, we already know that everyone points the finger at the other person for everything. But, that’s little stuff. I never blamed anyone for anything that could really get them in trouble or tell on anyone for something that they did. I feel very strongly that people should not snitch. Silence is the best policy in a situation where you could get someone else in trouble. The trouble you could get in for not talking is nothing compared to the trouble you could get in for pointing the finger and getting someone else in trouble.

Im sure when i was little i blammed things on other people but it wasnt anything to serious.i havn't really had a situation where i had to blame someone else and if i was and got caught i would take the blame because you have to take responsibility for your actions. i would not snitch on someone even if i kno they did it, sometimes this can be bad because i will get all the blame but its not worth loosing a friend. i dont think people should snitch because the person that u get in trouble is gonna eventually get u back for telling on them. The situation about throwing someone under a bus or getting them killed just to keep you out of trouble or gettin killed. i could never do that my life isnt more important then any other person. sure i would like to live but so does the other person and i would not be able to live with the guilt knowin that i killed someone just to save me.
I cant really think of a time that I had to lie to not get into trouble. Obviously if I dont want to get into trouble, I dont think anyone else should have to either. I dont like getting any one else in trouble for something I did. I would rather just take the blame and get punished, than get punished in the long run. My brother and I are constantly blaming each other for something, but there really arent consequences going along with that.
Personally i've done it many times and to many different people but i never get people in real trouble when i do it. people do it to me to but i remember a couple of times i did it like once when i was in class back in the 8th grade and i had really bad gass and someone said something really funny so i laughed so hard i farted and it was loud. so as soon as i did it we all stopped laughing and i turned to the kid next to me (jerry) then gave him that you - stink kinda look and said 'eww ni**a you stink' and we all just laughed except for jerry lol. and the other time was when i broke a glass on the tbale cuz i bumped into the table and i blamed it on the dog but thats a classic one.
Well, me and my brother do it quite alot. But one time really sticks out. It was awhile back me and my brother were outside, and i trew a rock at him really hard but it hit him in the stomach, and his reaction was to throw it back, it hit my head and it started bleeding. i ran to my parents and told them that my brother threw a rock at me, but because of something stupid, not because i threw it first. they didnt even ask him what happened, he just had to go to his room for the rest of the day. im sure i felt bad about what i did. now we kinda look back and laugh.
i do not remember a situation like this that has happened to me. there might have been one like this when i was younger but i dont remember.
This has of course happened to me. It was this past summer and i had been training really hard so that i could go to lacastor and ride in a bike race. The night before i was supposed to leave my dogs got out of the back yard and ran all over the place. That night my parents found them on their way home. When they got home with the dogs they wanted to know who had left the back gate open so that they could get out. They told me that if it was me i wouldn't be allowed to go to my bike race, so i blamed it on my younger sister. It was worth it because i came in 17th out of 350 people in that race.
Well, one year when i was younger me and my brother were always fighting and one day i was ver frustrated and knocked over and big glass vase over. Of course, my mother had later on came home and didnt see the vase sitting on the table and asked us what had happened to it. No one had confessed about it and my mother got very angery because someone was lying to her face. My brother already knew how much i was in trouble already from school, so he took the blame. She my mom told me to go to my room so my brother could get his head screamed off. I felt horrible because i had heard everything that they were saying. I still feel guitly for not cinfessing up but i know that anyday he needs me to help him out ill be there
yes i have, my older cousin and me didnt get a long for a long period of time.and we hated eachother soo much that we would point fingers.well i forget what had happened but he blamed me for something he did and i got blamed but not punish.well i did do the same to him eventually and it was about adult magazines.because for some reason my aunt thought they were mine.the only thing was i had to see him get yelled at so it wasnt worth it

As little kids everyone had once in their lives either pointed a finger at their brother or sister and tell their parents they did it or a realy close friend just to get out of the problem. Indeed i was one of those people when i was little my mom always said, "Keep your hans off of what isn't yours". Of coarse as a little girl that I was I didn't listen to her. My dad had this real nice bracelet for my mom for a really special occasion that was their anniversary. I was the one who went with him to buy I really wanted it so i hid it in my room. Remember i was just a little girl who loved jewerly. That night my dad was takin my mom out to dinner and was going crazy looking for the bracelet he told me and my brothers to look for it and I said that I had found it in my brothers room under his pillow. After he got his punnishment and i got a lollypop I flet extremly bad so i told my parents i did. Yes i got into a whole lot more trouble but atleast my brother wasn't punished for something he did not do. Since that day I told myself that it was better to face up to your problems instead of putting innocent people in them.
i have not had many situations where i have had to "throw someone under the bus." i can not really remember any either but i do remember times where i have been "thrown under the bus" to help out my friend. it was worth it for him because he didnt get grounded for the rest of his life and i only got talked to by his mom. also his mom would forgive me pretty quickly but if it was him she would probably never forgive him. lastly, the situation was not that big of a deal but to his mom it was the biggest deal.
As a kid i have always gotten in trouble but one time i was playing in the house wit my brother and i hit a vase and broke it right threw the middle. I blamed it on my brother but my brother told my mom before i told her. So of course she wipped my behind for a real good reason. it was all my fault so i sholud of never lied to her.
On times i had to point fingers at someone. the other day at home i had gotten in trouble for lying for me sister so that she could go out side for a little bit because she was on punshment. so my mom said that that i couldn't go out side because i told her that my sister was staying at school when she was really out side. she said that neither of us could use the phone or go out side. she said when she gets home she could tell if we were watching tv because the tv would be hot. me being me when my mom left i watched tv anyway. then my sister said "ohh you goning to get in trouble when mommy gets home"when she had got home she came in our room and felt in the tv and noticed that it was hot. then she yelled, who was watching tv. she asked her and she said no then she woke me up and asked me me and of course i blamed it on her. but of course my mom found out it was me because i never listen to her anyway and my mom belives everything my little sister says anyway.
I never really seriously had a time where I throw somebody under the bus so i would'nt get in trouble. I do be blaming stuff on my brother and sister but we be just playing. We do that to each other but, we just be playing. Eventually we would say sike we was jk. I never really had a situation where I got somebody else in trouble just because i didnt want to get in trouble cause i wouldnt want anybody to do that to me. But then again i probally have did it but i dont remember. But if i did do that yes i would feel guilty unless i didnt like that person.
I'VE been thrown under a few buses and lived, but i havent yet been put in a situation were i felt as if someone else should bare my consicuences. I have done wrong in my life many a time is human nature. This is my thought on "scapegoating" blaming someone even though you know they didnt do it, would be just wrong if i were to blam someone for somthing i did. THE only one i can acctually say that i did it to in my christian belief is god because he bared my sins on the cross and he died for me and for everyone else.
I dont ever remember a time when something like this has happened to me, im sure it has at somepoint in my life, but none great enough for me to remember. However, if I did something, I think that I wouldnt blame other people for something they didnt do, its not right, and especially if there my friend. I always feel bad for people when things happen, and i do remember saving my brother or sister from things by taking the blame becuase I felt so bad, so im almost possitive that I probably wouldnt be rude enough to blame someone else for my own mistake. You mess up, so you take your consequences.
i have been thrown under the bus so many times. one time my brother went to my moms purse and took around 200 dollars to get some jordan snearkers. and my mom had ask who took it and he said it was me and i didnt say nothing i was shocked and my mouth was closed and i could not say anything because i didnt want him getting into troble. after that my mom said i didnt have to take the money i should of ask and she said dont do it again. than. after that she said i will take it out of your allowence. than i walked away.
i seriously cannot say that i remember any situations like this. i always get blammed so it's not like i would have a choice anyway. it's just because i'm the oldest. but it doesnt really matter to me because i never get grounded or anything, i just get yelled at. so even if it's not my fault, it doesnt bother me.
I've honestly never blamed anyone for something i do, if i do something i don't cower in fear i say that i did it and get the punishment. Now i have blamed people for something they do and i get pointed out in the crowd as the one who did it. Like bathroom stall door was broken off in 5th grade and i was washing my hands when it happened and the kid that did it ran out of the bathroom along with 1 other kid. The other kid went and told the teacher across from the bathroom in his classroom that a kid broke the door and when i was walking out i got accused of doing it. Of course i wasn't gonna get blamed for something i didn't do and told the teacher who did it. Didn't know him personally but i knew his name along with the majority of my 5th grade classmates.
Yeah it suxs blaming someone so u dont get in trobule but hey it works:] j/p but anyways no my girlfreind didnt break up with me over it and i cant really explain what had happend so we will just leave it at that!!!
I can not remember a time that happened to me.Maybe when I was younger I use to blame my younger sister and cousin for something that I might have broken or did something I was not supposed to do in the house.Some how it came back on me.I did feel guilty after a while,but they would do it to me.
Actually , before last month I had never been in the " throwing someone under the bus " situation . Ever . I normally come right out and tell my wrong doing , because 99% of the time , it's not that bad . I'm too scared and nervous of a person to do somehting I know someone might get REALLY upset with me for . I got " thrown under the bus " last month , almost literally . A bunch of us had drawn on the bus seats , I drew a penquin . Big deal . The bus driver got pissed , and told the principal stdents had been writing on her seats , no one confessed . So in this happening , the principal was going to " write everybody up " , some some girl told on me , while I was conimplating turning my self in and just taking the blame for everone , wich i ended up doing . It sucked . I got a wonderful Saturday Detention .
I cant realy think about a time when i did do that...tru i proably did do it i jsut dont know but honestly if i did that i wouldnt feel bad until somethign came back and bit me in the butt. It sounds selfish but i tihnk thats how most norml people are and some have to lie to make themselves look like a better person when they are realy jsut like me. Everyone does it to save themselves, it makes perfect sense in a situation where you dont want to get in trouble but you can put someone else on the spot its perfect.
Yeah I have been in this situation before and let me say it was definitely not fun experience. This all took place just around Christmas time when I was about six or seven years old. See what had happened was, I was playing with my dog in the living room over by my Christmas tree that my family just got done decorating. As a little kid i thought nothing of it but i would soon learn my mistake. So as we were playing my dog jumped sideways colliding with the tree and the tree came crashing down. My family heard the crash and came running out. Of course they automatically think that I did it and started starring at me. Yes they were right and i was responsible but they didn't know that for sure. So I made up some story about how the dog was chasing our cat around and ran into the tree, which was somewhat the truth. In the end I didn't feel guilty or anything because I didn't get in trouble and neither did my dog.
I have thrown someone under the bus in order not to get in trouble. I once cheated on my boyfriend. He found out because i just couldn't keep it from him.I didnt want him to leave me nd i didnt want him to get really really upset so i told him that the boy was sitting next to me and when i turned around he grabbed me and kissed me. Things did happen that way but i let him grab me and i wanted that kiss. I did feel guilty because when i first saw that boy i really liked him and having that kiss was soo amazing and then just blaming him for what i also wanted wasn't the right thing for me to do. I felt really bad because my boyfriend didnt like him and wanted to fight him all becasue of me. It wasnt worth blaming him because my boyfriend still got really upset and wasn't able to trust me no more and now everytime i want to go out he thinks im doing something wrong.
One time i had to point the finger at my sister and usally Im a tough guy and take the blame but this time was different. One day my boyfirend was at my house because he was locker out i told him it would ok if he wait at my house just to say my mom had just went to work so he came in and a hour later the door started to open it was moms my boyfirend ran up stairs and jumped out my window of course my mom found out and we got in trouble but since my sister she was the oldest I blamed it on her. but yea we both got in trouble but she got it worst lol.
Well, I have been in this situation before! haha! Well what had happened was... My mom made a cake for a Christmas party that my family was going to have the next day. Now, this was no ordinary every day cake! These cakes were only made for the major holidays like Christmas. So I did a little thinking and realized that I really liked this cake and if I let my mom take it to the party then the whole family would eat it and i would only get a little slither. So I was home alone and I decided to take a piece of the cake a little early! haha! So after eating about half the cake, I realized that I would have to come up with a cover up story so I took a plate and smeared some cake on it and left it in my brothers room. Then my brother got home shortly after, then followed by the parents, I told them that my brother had eatin the Cake! This worked out perfectly because my brother had a history of lying so of course my parents believed me. He was grounded but only for like a day or two. I felt a little bit guilty but not really, I mean he is my brother and this is the sort of stuff that we do to eachother on a regular day basis. Dont get me wrong thought, we get along great! SO... I didnt feal that bad even though I probaly should. haha
yea ive pointed my finger once or twice. nah it doesnt make me feel good. for instence today in my spanish class i had a teacher yell at me for talking and said , "drew thats is get out!" the minuite he said that i looked at him and the person behind me was talking and i literally pointed my finger at them and my teacher instead called them up to the front and kicked them out and gave them a detention. I felt horrible the instance i did it. Luckely the kid who got kicked out is like one of my best friends and didnt even care, (he hates the teacher to). but yea not knnowing that i felt horrible about pointing my finger and getting the blame taken off me and put on someone elses shoulders. it wasnt a big deal like life or death situation if i would of been thrown out, i probubly would of came to your class anyway :) but yea so in the end it was wrong of me to "throw some one under the bus" as they say. it made me feel like crap afterwords.
Being the stand up guy that I am, I dont "push anybody under the bus" or point any fingers. I take responsibility for my actions because that is what my mommy taught me. When I'm put into a situation where most people would point fingers at other people, I just tell the truth. Being honest and not blaming other people has gotten me into some trouble but it is less trouble then if I tried to lie to get away with it. I guess being honest may not be the popular decision in some situations, but at least I'm left with my integrity.
I'm not really a finger pointer. Honestly, I dont usually do things I need to blame others for. But, once when I was 8 me and my little cousin were playing outside on my mom-mom's porch and I left the refrigerator door open somehow. So the next morning when all the food went bad my grandmom called and asked if I left the door open. I told her my cousin Chrissy did it and my grandmom yelled at her instead of me. That's the last thing I really remember blaming someone else for to escape punishment.It wasn't really worth it. I didn't feel guilty back then but now that I know better what is wrong and right I regret doing it.
I have been in a situation where I had to put someone under the bus and I hated it.It was about four years ago and I broke a glass and blamed it on my sister.After I blamed my sister I felt really guility about it. I knew that there would be serious reprocutions for my actions. I was not to sure what they would be but I was sure then would be really bad. I realized that fasley blaming my sister was worse than any grounding that my parents would give me. So after thinking about it for a while I decided to tell my parents the truth. They had mixed feelings because, they were happy that I told the truth but dissipointed that I lost in the first place. I was grounded for longer than I can remember, but I was worth it to tell the truth.
To be honest i cant recall a time when i blamed someone for something else. I have had times in the past for when my sisters blame stuff on me and i just take the heat. This really shocks me because i thought i had something but pondering for the last ten minutes i don't. Sorry Mrs. Bunje.
There was a situation in which someone was wrongly accused for something me and I friend had done and I feel really horrible about it now because the boy who was accused was mentally handicapped.
When I first moved to Mays Landing, I moved into this place where there was a lot of woods. There was a path leading into the woods and me and a new friend were curious about. I should mention that I have this weird fascination with fire. Well however it happened we accidentally set the woods on fire and since the boy was seen coming out of the wood minutes earlier, it was assumed the he was the culprit.
In this case I got lucky and no one found out, but deep inside I still feel bad about it to this day and that is punishment enough.
