A mother taught her son a great lesson after knowing that he was looking down on others for their circumstances.
Cierra Forney, noticed her 13-year-old son, Anthony Forney was full of himself and he was mocking people for shopping at the goodwill or other low-end clothing stores.
After knowing all this, Cierra decided Goodwill is where he will shop. She gave him 20 dollars of his own money to buy a weeks worth of clothes from the Goodwill.
This was Anthony’s punishment for looking down people and he had to go to the store he was making fun, with 20 dollars and spend his money on clothes for the week.
After teaching him a lesson, Cierra posted a picture of her son on Facebook and explained the whole incident.
She wrote: ‘So lately, my 13 year old son had been acting a little… entitled. Acting like he’s too good to shop at Wal-Mart or making snarky comments about kids at school who shop at the goodwill and quite a few other things. I don’t tolerate that. Today, he took his own 20.00 to the goodwill to buy clothes to wear the entire week to school. Whatever he found is what he would have to wear.”
”He isn’t happy and shed a few tears but I firmly believe in 15 years he will look back and laugh at the day his Mom made him shop at goodwill.
I want to teach my kids that money isn’t everything and if you have to degrade other people because of where they shop, then you too will shop there. Side note, I love the goodwill!!’’
Her post went viral and social media users praised the mother for teaching her son to end bullying or mocking others. But there were some people who didn’t like the way she made her son realize his mistake.
All the public shaming and saying my son will grow to hate me, sue me and later kill me are just awful,” she wrote. ”My son and I have an amazing relationship. He tells me everything and trusts me wholeheartedly. I DO NOT care what anyone has to say about my post because I SOLELY did this to help my son become a better man.”
”All the positive feedback and comments have brought me to tears and so have all the negative ones. All that matters is my son is completely 100 percent okay with what happened.”
”My son has learned a valuable lesson from this AND he is rockin’ the button-up shirt he bought from the Goodwill with PRIDE today!!!”
Anthony told Fox 5 News: “Don’t be spoiled, I might just tell them (my friends) to be thankful for what you have.”
