Teenage girl called a liar for not teaching cousin piano 🎹
A young girl has been accused of lying about her piano-playing abilities after her aunt and uncle demanded she teach their daughter. Despite explaining that she had never taken a lesson and only knew a few songs from online tutorials, the family attacked her and called her a liar. The incident has caused a rift in the family, with the girl's parents insisting she apologize for standing up for herself. Many people online have come to the girl's defense, calling out the aunt and uncle for being hypocritical about their supposed lack of funds for lessons. The situation raises questions about the entitlement of some family members and the pressure to provide free services simply because of familial ties. The comments and reactions to this story have been mixed, with some sympathizing with the girl and others calling her disrespectful. What do you think?
