Cry out for help in desperation

  Tiantian, a naturally talented and intelligent girl, but extremely poor in her studies. She was a troublemaker who worried her teachers, pained her parents, annoyed the people around her, and lacked self-confidence. Tiantian started dating boys from primary school, causing them to fight over her, even threatening to kill her. This made her afraid to go to school or return home after class, creating chaos at home with broken glass and a burned warehouse. Often, someone would wait for her at the school gate with a knife, frightening her classmates. Eventually, the school expelled her. Her mother, who had always spoiled her, finally lost patience and picked up a stick, leaving Tiantian feeling hopeless and trapped. She thought of suicide...

  This is a very pretty girl, slender and tall, dressed in a stylish outfit, with delicate and curved eyebrows. She has long lost the mark of a student on her body. With her head lowered, she sat across from me, deep in thought for a long time. Suddenly, she raised her head, tears streaming down her face, saying:

  "Teacher Xiao, can you save me? If not, I have no choice but to die. I don't want to go home, my mom and dad both hate me and won't give me a good face. Those men come to our house looking for me, and my dad gets so angry that he has heart problems, but I also have nowhere to go. Teacher Xiao, do you think someone like me only has death to look forward to? My dad says I'm only fit to die..." She cried even more sorrowfully.

  "Tell me why you died, was it because the threat from those men was too great and you were afraid, or because you felt that living was meaningless? You must answer truthfully, you must tell the truth, did you hear that, you must tell the truth!"

  My seriousness made her pause for a moment, and she apparently realized that she couldn't brush me off. After thinking for a while, she said in a low voice: "Both are."

  "Alright, let's solve the first 'fear of threat' problem. Everyone's personal safety is protected by law, no matter what reason they threaten you, it's an illegal act. Why not seek help from the judicial department for your protection and sue them?"

  "I don't dare."

  "Why?"

  "Because... because..."

  "What's wrong? Are you afraid they'll reveal some of your secrets that you think are shameful and you're afraid of losing face, right?"

  She nodded and lowered her head even further, saying in a low voice:

  "How did you guess?"

  "Tell me, what have you done with them?"

  She looked at me with a helpless and shy expression, begging me to say:

  "Teacher Cai, you promised me not to tell anyone else, I trust you the most, even my mom doesn't know... I've had relationships with all six of them and have had an abortion too... If others find out, both my parents will be devastated... Teacher Cai, do you think I'm shameless?"

  "No! You can't use such words to degrade someone's character."

  "You think I also have personality?"

  "Don't look at how you're dressed up and looking pretty, but actually you're not confident at all. Even prisoners have dignity, why don't you? And it's not like you didn't know what you were doing, you just did something stupid when you were young and ignorant. That doesn't mean you don't have dignity. The reason you're sinking deeper is because you know your behavior isn't glorious. When you first had that inappropriate behavior with a man, you looked down on yourself, so you started to act recklessly."

  "Teacher Si, you're absolutely right! My heart was indeed like what you said. If someone had told me this earlier, I wouldn't have turned out so bad."

  "Who says you're bad? You're not bad at all. You're afraid that your dad and mom will find out what you've done and be furious, which shows that you're kind-hearted and have a sense of filial piety that kids these days urgently need. This is a very precious quality. Your parents' feelings are understandable - which parent doesn't hope their child grows up to be a good person? Sweetie, think carefully about this: when you grow up and become a mom yourself, will you want your own daughter to waste her youth and emotions like you have?"

  She shook her head vigorously and said: "No! Absolutely not! I'd rather beat her to death than have her end up like me..."

  "So, now the only thing you should do is to make up your mind to change your old ways, start anew, otherwise you will sink deeper and deeper until there's no way out."

  "Teacher Xiao, what should I do? If I could live again, I wouldn't be like this, really..."

  She closed her eyes painfully, threw her head back and grasped at her clothes with both hands. I thought that if this were a place without people, she would definitely burst into loud sobs. I didn't comfort her or speak immediately, but just let her emotions vent freely. Because I knew that only when one's pain reaches its peak can they turn things around and have the possibility of awakening. After a while, she slowly exhaled and finally calmed down. I softly said to her:

  "Everything can be replayed, except for life which has no turning back. If you don't want to ruin your own life and your parents' lives, you have to bravely face reality. Don't hide from those men who are bothering you, go find them and talk it out. Loving someone is your right, not loving someone is also your right, nobody has the power to force you to accept something you don't want, especially emotions. It's impossible for a person to never make mistakes in their lifetime, as long as you realize it and have the determination to correct it, then you're fine!"

  I emphasized the three words "hao yang de" very heavily, and she immediately asked me:

  "Can I?"

  "If you think you can, you can! You have to remember that you are a human being, with your own personality, emotions are yours, what right do they have to force you to accept something you don't want to?"

  "Teacher Si, hearing you say that I'm so excited, it's as if I have a kind of unprecedented power... I'll go solve it myself, I can do it!"

  "That's right, the more you hide from them, the more arrogant they become. Tell them that you once thought of killing yourself, tell them that you're not even afraid of death, what else is there to be afraid of?"

  She jumped up from the sofa excitedly, clenched her fists and waved them over her head.

  "I'll listen to you, and I'll go make it clear to them tomorrow."

  "Yes! Go find them with confidence and tell them that if they continue to be unreasonable, you'll report them to the police. If they try to threaten you by mentioning your past relationship or abortion, just say to them: 'If I'm a loser, then you're criminals.'"

  "Teacher Si, I'm really not afraid of them anymore."

  "Do you still want to die?"

  She said with embarrassment:

  "Don't worry, Teacher Sai, I won't let you down!"

  "Whether I am right or wrong is not important, what's important is whether you are right or wrong to yourself, and whether you are right or wrong to the parents who raised you. A person living is not just for themselves, but also for a sense of responsibility to their loved ones and society. Only with this sense of responsibility can you learn to regulate your own behavior, and learn how to be a person..."

  I repeatedly reminded her:

  "When dealing with those 'men', be careful not to be too intense, try to avoid using hurtful language. If you enrage them, you'll suffer the consequences and it won't help solve the problem. If you encounter any unsolvable issues, call me immediately. At critical moments, I can directly communicate with them on your behalf. If necessary, I can even seek assistance from the judicial authorities for you."

  Obviously my words gave her great courage and confidence, she excitedly grabbed my hand and cried: "Teacher Sai, don't worry..."

  She walked out of my house with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face. It wasn't until her figure disappeared into the dimly lit corridor that I slowly closed the door, but my heart remained restless for a long time. Because she was going to face several ignorant and brutal thugs after all. Why did I let her take the risk instead of letting her parents help her solve it? Because her parents were already powerless, and they couldn't calmly face it either. My intention was to let her face it herself, because this was the path she had walked, the mistake she had made, and she had to face it herself, solve it herself, which would be beneficial for her maturity and growth, and help her establish a sense of responsibility towards herself and others, so I encouraged her to bravely face it herself.

  I always believe that no matter how ignorant a person is, he is still human. As a human being, there must be a vulnerable side; no matter how savage a person is, he is still human, and as a human being, there must be a weak side. When the sweet and innocent Tiantian suddenly appears in front of them with a strong sense of justice, it will definitely have a huge impact on their psychology, which has a wild but not confident heart. Because I believe that even the most evil person has a moment of conscience. If Tiantian can seize this opportunity, she may be able to turn defeat into victory, which is very beneficial for her future confidence and courage as a human being. However, my heart has always been uneasy, just like planning a big battle, "war" will not end, my heart cannot calm down. As the "military advisor", I know better than anyone else how big the risk factor is here, because it is "war", there must be victory or defeat.
