Punished with bad clothing

Bullying is a problem in America. Parents, school administrators, and law enforcement have taken all sorts of tactics to try to quell the destructive actions. This ranges from punishment to intervention to education, and one Utah woman decided to teach her fiance's daughter, Kaylee, a lesson with bad clothing. The girl had been making fun of a fellow student for wearing what she deemed to be sleazy. According to an article on Yahoo! Shine, the mother took her bullying daughter shopping and when Kaylee described certain clothes as ugly or embarrassing she bought them and made her wear them to school. The mother said she wanted her to experience the embarrassing feelings she evoked in someone else.

This is an interesting way to tackle bullying. Teaching embarrassing lessons is not new, but I think this form of punishment is a smart way to make the bully understand the emotions stirred up in others by their comments. In this case,  the lesson worked. After getting made fun of herself, Kaylee delivered a genuine apology to the classmate she bullied.
