Definition: Given a real-life anecdote of a complex ethical situation, generate a suitable title that describes the main event/root cause of the situation. Imagine that the given text is a social media post, and you have to write the title of the post, so the users can decide to read the main text or not.
Input: To give context: I’m a teenage girl and I go to a pretty judgemental private Catholic  school where all the “popular” girls all secretly hate each other, and their families are pretty well off. These girls go to cotillion classes and all that jazz. The school is probably 80% white, 10% Vietnamese, 5% hispanic, and 5% other. Girls are very judgemental and you can’t really trust anyone because they do a lot of petty things. 

I’m Vietnamese, and my parents are immigrants from Vietnam. My mom owns a nail shop and my dad works as a full time employee at a grocery store. My father attended college, but had to drop out cause no one could afford his tuition even though it was $1200 a year and it was a community college. A lot of the kids that go to my school have parents that are lawyers, government workers, or military so I feel like they judge me when I tell them my parents’ occupations. 

My family definitely isn’t poor now, but we definitely can’t afford to buy airpods, IPhone XR’s, and expensive sneakers like the other kids. I’m okay with that cause I like the concept of minimalism and I like the konmari method of living. I’d like to think I’m mature for my age but I sound cocky. Sometimes the other girls will tease me lightheartedly cause I don’y have airpods or cause my phone has a headphone jack. (I have an IPhone 6)

Anyways, to make ends meet and afford non-necessities, my dad goes around to all the Home Depots in the area, buys the stuff that is on clearance (sometimes it’ll be stuff like a panini press or sink faucets for 1 cent) and he’ll resell them on Craigslist. 

I get annoyed because he’ll resell the items at the grocery store parking lot next to my school, and I’m embarrassed that everyone sees my dad doing “shady” business. The girls at my school are pretty judgemental and always talk about people behind their back. 

Today I went to a basketball game, and right afterwards my dad sold something right in the parking lot of the school while my friends were entering their cars. I’ve talked to him about how it embarrasses me, but he just doesn’t seem to listen. I started yelling at him cause I was embarrassed that my teammates would judge me or mock me behind my back. Or maybe spread rumors about me. 

I got into a pretty big fight with my dad and told him about how he embarrasses me. He also has a pretty big smoking habit, and none of the other girls’ parents smoke cigarettes.  I’ve had a girl come over to my house and mention my dad’s smoking habit with disgust since we had an empty coke bottle outside that my dad threw away his cigarettes in. Ever since then, I’ve been paranoid about having people over to the house. 

He also works the night shift so that he can pick me up from school, so he’s always sleeping in the living room after we go home. I never have people come over after school either cause they don’t understand. I also don’t usually go out on the weekends because my parents are working. 

Anyways, the fight was pretty bad and he hasn’t talked to me in two days. This isn’t the first time we’ve had a fight due to his whole Craigslist thing. Idk what to do now cause I’m just tired of everything that’s been happening. 

So am I an asshole for being a stuck up teenage girls who yells at her dad for trying to make ends meet?



TLDR; my dad resells things he finds on clearance, and I’m embarrassed cause there’s a lot of judgemental girls at my school who probably make fun of me because of it. He also has a smoking habit and has an irregular sleep schedule. Got into a fight with him and told him he embarrasses me. 

telling my father that he embarrasses me in front of the people at my school
