r/AmITheBadApple↗

People submit stories where... they aren't sure if they acted appropriately or not. We read them and decide if they were a "Good Apple", a "Bad Apple", or a "Crab Apple". Sometimes we agree, and sometimes we don't, and that is okay! We all have different life experiences, and it would be silly to yell at someone for just... not experiencing something you did. Check Rebecca Rogers YouTube channel for a weekly "Am I the Bad Apple" video including 4 of our stories!
