who is worse?

<p>Hello Everyone,</p>

<p>I have a question regarding a good friend of mine.Let’s call her X. X’s roommate is a busy body.She bullies everyone, yells at other’s if things do’t go her way, eavesdrop on other’s conversations and asks numerous personal questions.In short, She doesn’t understand the concept of privacy,manners and politeness.On the other hand, X is very polite,well-mannered and timid.</p>

<p>One day X came to realize that her crazy roommate had been snooping through her closet and has read everything ranging from her personal files,passwords, emails to her private journal.X writes all deep thoughts in her journal and felt completely violated that someone has read her journal for the purpose of entertainment. She couldn’t take the stress, her grades plummeted and she ended up taking therapy.</p>

<p>Now, a few months later, during a casual conversation, X told me something shocking.Apparently, her roommate ended up getting a scholarship she was hoping to win.X felt it maybe due to her roommate’s higher SAT scores.So, when her roommate was out,she snooped into her file cabinet to check out her SAT scores.</p>

<p>I am completely shocked.As far as I know, X has never done something like this before.Am guessing she did it because she was super stressed out with this whole scholarship thing. I dislike her roommate( she has been mean to me as well) and like my friend better.But really,who is worse? I can’t decide as my answer will be biased.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Why do you need to figure out who is “worse”? It sounds like something you shouldn’t be involved in or concerned about. Let your friend work out her roommate issues herself and stay out of it.</p>

<p>Hi joycind,</p>

<p>By looking your post I can guess that you are such a emotional which always thinking about other. First of all by a single incidence you can’t choose worse or not. But looking SAT score in such a manner is height of limit.</p>

<p>…why does it matter?</p>

<p>Neither one had any right to snoop through the other’s belongings and they both seem to have a loose grip on other’s privacy. Isn’t it enough to say they were both wrong without going into who is wrong-er?</p>

<p>They’re both in the wrong. Neither one is better than the other, and even if one was, it’s not your place to judge. Accept that your friend isn’t perfect and move on- or ditch her. It’s your choice.</p>

<p>I’m going to answer the question you asked:</p>

<p>I think the roommate is more wrong because she seems to be disrespectful on a regular basis, it seems to be part of her personality. X, on the other hand, seems to have had a weak moment (out of frustration, maybe?) and did something stupid that could happen to anyone.</p>
