'It was a joke, lighten up': Mom cancels daughter's sweet 16 party after daughter claims she is not her ‘real mom’ in front of dad and his new wife

Teenagers are mean, that comes as a surprise to no one. They are mean to each other, their parents, little kids, and even to complete strangers. It is part of their journey to adolescence, and to be frank, there is not much that can be done to stop it.

What can and should be done is to teach teens that their words can hurt and that actions have consequences. Just because we know teens can be mean doesn't mean we should stand aside and let it happen. It is actually highly important to take advantage of those moments and teach those kids a valuable lesson in accountability and responsibility.

When the mom in the story below, for example, was the subject of her soon-to-be 16-year-old daughter's mean joke, the mom decided she was not going to simply take it. Her daughter had to learn that some jokes are not funny, and she should probably think before she voices them. 

How did the mom teach her daughter this lesson? Keep scrolling to read the story and find out.
