If the person being tattled on is punished for it, they will blame the tattler. The thought process for an adult is, "Nothing was being harmed, so it wasn't any of your business". In the end, being a tattle-tale can create many enemies, and will likely only come back to harm you. For siblings or schoolmates, it can result in an escalating rivalry of trying to get each other in trouble - which is good for nobody. | |
