too bad that tattletale kids usually turn into tattletale adults. what irks me about tattleling is most hardcore snitches do NOT do it because they are doing the right thing. they tattle because it is a powertrip for them. they like to see other people get into trouble and will tattle on the tiniest thing. sometimes I have known these type of snitches even Lie and make up things to cause trouble. you can tell they enjoy it because of the satisfied glimmer in their eyes and the smirk they have on their face.  No wonder others would like to pound the crap out them.

"I'm tellin'!" is one of the most annoying childish responses ever. And for me, I was always at the butt-end of tattling as I was usually the smallest kid in the room. When something went wrong in a room full of kids, you could be fairly sure that the blame would fall upon me as one of the other kids would point my way and say this annoying response.

Nobody likes a tattletale.

Or Linda Tripp. . .

Battle cry of a future Narc. Best response is always - so what? Takes the wind right out of their sails.

Great way to blackmail someone as a kid.

my littlest brother was such a brat he used to blackmail me when he was 5. he used to tell me if i didn't give him a cigarette he would tell my mom that me and my friends were smoking weed. i would just smack him and he never told. it wasn't all the time and its not as bad as it sounds really.
