'The simplest petty revenge is often the most satisfying': Pranksters try to scare middle schooler over text, she plays along and outsmarts them

Middle school can be brutal, especially when you're trying to navigate so many changes in your life. Kids have always been mean, but now with phones in the mix, being able to hide behind a screen has made kids even meaner (adults, too). Back when I was in middle school, we had these online message boards where people could anonymously write whatever they wanted about you. If there was even the slightest thing to pick on, you'd hear about it on your public message board (along with the rest of the school).

Now that cyberbullying is a thing, the best revenge is to beat them at their own game. At least that's what this teen did when she started getting threatening prank texts from a random number. At first she was terrified, but that was short-lived as she quickly figured out exactly who was behind it. Instead of freaking out, she played along and sent the pranksters into absolute panic mode with one text. After this experience, they probably never tried to mess with anyone again.
