Is NOBODY wrong in the post ? POST : So today is Valentine’s Day, and there was a nice kid who decided that he wanted to get roses for everyone so no one felt left out. Now, he meant EVERYONE. There are nearly 2000 student and staff here, and he bought real roses for about $1 each online. 

This seemed fine, until he went around asking for donations and admitted to me that he had to borrow money. And this was where I began to express my concern. I worried that this kid was going to get 2 Gs deep and not be able to do anything about it. He’s a senior almost on his way to college, from a less fortunate family.

Now, I went about expressing my concern the wrong way, because I hadn’t fully thought out my words. I ended up saying, “He could’ve done something more beneficial with that money. Maybe he could’ve looked after himself instead of getting all those roses.” Like an idiot, I tried to correct myself but really only made my position look worse. It ended up sounding like I didn’t think this kid was being nice just to be nice. 

After the misunderstanding I was frustrated that I couldn’t get my point across and that came off as bitter or unappreciative. So I just went home. I really do feel like the asshole, I also think I need to shut my mouth more often.
