Question of the Day: Day 34
When you have been accused of something that you did not do - how did you respond and did that make the situation better or worse?

We are looking for answers to some hard questions as we dig deep inside and explore our own core values and how that guides not just our own lives but the very world that we live in. These questions will be asked to a group of high school students but we would also like to hear from the world at large. While we hope to keep this forum wide open we do reserve the right to delete responses that we find to be offensive or combative in nature. Thank you for participating with us.

i been accused about alot of things and now i'm getting use to it but what i did before did not help the situation at all it made it worse but now i just let them think whatever they want and that helps.
Yes I have been acused of alot of things in my life time.
I remember this one time when I was about 9 or 10 years old, I went to my cousins wedding and after the ceromony there was this huge lunch. Anyways, there were these cute little party favours I guess you could say and after everyone left my grandmaother who was my leagal gardian at the time told me to take a few home with us. My cousin Susan saw me take them. She didn't bother asking why I was taking them and told her son that he wasn't aloud to hand around me anymare because she didn't want him to be around a thief. She was really rude and when my gandmother found out got angry and told her that it was her who told me to take them and to never call her grandaughter a thief again. That made Susan really feel stupid about her actions.
WHEN I AM ACCUSED OF SOME THING I DID NOT DO, I GET MAD AND I YELL.
THEN I CALM DOWN AN EXPLAIN. IT HELPS .
Yes I have been accused of something I have not done before. I reacted in a rude way, and that did not help the problem. It made it worse.
When you have been accused of something that you did not do - how did you respond and did that make the situation better or worse?
I usally say I didn't do it if I get accused of something that I didn't do and if they don't believe me I'll show them my proof and or witness'!

I have been accused of some stuff and I have been innocent. my reaction was not a good one I ended up fighting. I regret that I had been so defensive when I didnt do anything.
I get accused of putting empty milk cartons back in the refrigerator all the time. it's never me but i respond by buying more milk. it makes the situation better because i don't like to argue.
I got so angry that I got accused of something that I just went off. So when I'm accused of something I did not do. I do things so I want have conseqences for nothing and it want hurt so bad. But it still hurts a little because it's wrong.
I can recall a time when I was accused of vandalising a neighbor's tree. I told my dad, "I didn't do it". I had always fessed up in the past if I screwed up, but my dad didn't believe me that time and beat the tar out of me in public. I was pissed and threatened him if he ever laid a hand on me again.
Days later, my neighbor's daughter admitted to my dad that she had done it. My dad never apologized to me. I totally lost respect for him that day. We've had a terrible relationship ever since.
I don't know for a fact if my threat made the situation worse, but in hindsight, it probably didn't help.
I would say that I tend to just explain what I know and move on.
The truth will almost always rise to the surface and making the situation worse by pitching a fit would certainly not reflect well on me when it was all over.
On the flip side of this it is also a really good idea to always take respsinbility for the things that I have done wrong and being honest about that. Then people are more likely to trust me when I say that I didn't do something.
I respond with it respectfuly & walk away that makes it better
I tell them I did not do it and dont blame me tell you know the facts and who really did it.
