Who doesn't require assistance occasionally? The funny thing is that whenever we encounter subjects like this, pictures of the underprivileged, sick, or poor come to mind.

Then we start looking for groups doing such initiatives so that we may donate to them or perhaps start one ourselves and feel good about having helped them. When you help someone, you are implying that they are in need and that you are in a better position to provide for them "at that particular moment" since you have what they need.

Given how infinite human needs are, they may be words of encouragement, prayers, money, a job opportunity, knowledge, food, clothing, housing, medical assistance, legal support, or any number of other things. In today's story, the OP offers help in the form of shelter to a 19-year-old girl named Amelia, whose parents mistreat her.

Amelia needed to get her car’s oil changed and wasn’t able to make up her rent because of it. She gave her parents what she had, but they still kicked her out.

She called the OP and asked if she could sleep on her couch until she figured things out, and the OP was glad to help out. The problem now is that her 16-year-old son does not like having another person in the house, and he showed it in his actions, which the OP condemned. 

And here's the headline

The OP meets Amelia who she described as a very sweet and smart girl but her family mistreats her

The OP's daughter's love Amelia but her son does not like having another person in the house

The OP has tried to punish him but every time she tried, he’s gone back to his dad

We've gathered some of the most upvoted comments from redditors for you to read through below

The OP's son is already feeling neglected as there's no way he's getting much attention

This sort of thing should be discussed with the rest of the household first

The good news is that no matter how "help" is provided, it always acts as a sign of love, a glimmer of hope, a source of courage, a haven of serenity, and a subliminal reminder that the recipient is not alone in the world—all of which would eventually set off a domino effect. Redditors gave their verdicts, and in the end, it was decided that everyone in the story sucks.
