Last year, I was at the club with my friends and we were having the time of our lives. Then, this guy approached me and asked for my number. I gave it to him and we started texting, but then I realized that he was a liar! He told me he was 30, but was 42 instead! Also, he was a stalker. Somehow he found out where I lived and I immediately blocked him and reported him before the police. Did I do the right thing?
My wife and I had an awful argument last week because she didn't give me a present for our annivesary. I waited the entire day for her to at least say "Happy anniversary", but that never happened. At the end of the day I was so mad that I yelled at her, and she said that she was really busy that day, and stopped talking to me. What should I've done?

Once, I was playing Among Us with my friends and there was this absolutely rude boy. He was like 13 years old, and suddendly started typing lots of bad words. We asked him to stop doing it, but we won't pay mind. The next day, we saw his mom at school and told him everything. Instead of just scold him, she started spanking him in front of everybody! Should we have said nothing instead? :(
I used to study Medicine at one of the best universities in Mexico City. Everything was OK, until all this COVID-19 stuff; my dad lost his job and I had to quit. You can't imagine how bad I felt, but there was no other option. What would you've done?
