Have you ever been wrongfully accused?

Hi dear, There are many, but a touching one is here. It was happened when I was in school. As I was not well, I didn't go to school for 2-3 days. All the students were supposed to give a small donation to red cross fund. And it was the last day to collect the money. As I was not totally recovered and not feeling fully well, I didn't prefer to play out at the drill period. I just come out of the class room and was standing near a wall by seeing all the childrens were playing. One student said he has some money with him and it is missing, which is supposed to give as donation. Sometimes my parents used to give coins for chocolates but I will not buy chocolate and had a habit of collecting the coins and keep the same for a long period and make it use of some good purposes. As I had the money already with me, I paid the donation from what I had. The student said I am the student who took his money. And many other students also supported the same. As nobody agreed that no one had took the money, the teacher beaten up all the students from the class. I got certain special punishment and took me to the head master. I said I am innocent and I didn't took the money. Next day parents were called for. My father came to school and he said, they didn't given the money for donation. So again I become the robber. I explained the entire thing what was happened and I told it was the money which I had already with me. But no one listen to me. After a few hours later, the other boys parents come to school saying that it was a mistake from their son and the money was in a different shirt's pocket and his mother got it while he took the shirt for washing. Within few hours, all the students come to know that I had taken the money and I was caught for stealing money. But on the next day school assembly, the head master called both of us and announced that it was wrongfully accused and they punished on doing no crime. They advised the other boy for moral behaviour and I was awarded a small gift and all appreciated me. However, it is little lengthy, and boring. Still I am happy that I got a chance to recollect the past incident which happened at the age of 10 years old and I will never forget this. Regards, Thank-s

Yes,it always happened to me all the time. I'm accused of doing a thing that i haven't done. I fell like confronting the person that spreading it and tell him or her that maybe your the one doing the thing that you are accusing me. Now i am cautious to those kind of people. I don't like knowing even a person that in the end will destroy my character to others. Happy mylloting.

Thank you for sharing by the way. I haven't experienced being wrongfully accused of the similar thing as yours but my current boyfriend does. and I lost a lot of friendships because of that. Here's a summary of the story. My friends are against him because of the "rumors" that people have spread against him even before we met. I confronted him about it and he told me everything that proved all the rumors wrong. I gave him a benefit of a doubt but I guess its just wrong for my friends to accuse him because in the first place, they don't even know the real him at all. There are really lots of judgmental people. We should really know the person well before we judge them. It's just unfair. Anyway, as of my own experience of being wrongfully accused.. it happened 4 years ago when me and my best friend were accused of stealing a phone at school. We were asked for lots of interviews to investigate the matter. It turns out that the "accuser" only made up that crap after all. What a b!tch. I'm glad that me and my friend were given a clean slate in the end.

Yes, this has happened recently but not with a friend but with someone I did business with. I think it's very unprofessional for a business and very unloyal as a friend. I've had this happen to me in the past with friends also and it is very aggravating to know how disappointing 'friends' can be.

Yes, I hate this, I choose my friends very carefully now as I have lost friends by this, mostly when I was younger and in school but it did happen as well in my late teens with some older people, this annoyed me as I thought they should have grown up! I would never go around accusing anyone of anything, I think its childish, cruel and I wish people were caught out doing it.

yes. A lot of times! I just laugh about it. I do not have any idea where people get those information. I just think about rumors as " I am worth people's time!" at least people give effort on me, gives me their time! Whereas them, poor them nobody gives them time.

I am always being accused of things I didn't do because I am an easy scape goat for most people, but lately, I am no one's scape goat. I am done with people walking all over me and I have been taking matters into my own hands. If people want to accuse me of things I didn't do, I will correct them, and then I will walk away from them and never speak to them again unless they apologize.

If we think hard enough about it, i am sure we can all think of time we have been accused to something we didn't do. Sometimes it is hard to own up to wrong things we have done in our lives. When we are accused of things we haven't done, it can be harder to deal with. When this has happened to me in the past, it was difficult to get past the anger I felt of being accused. why was i one to blame? Trying to redeem yourself from being accused unfairly can be a struggle in itself. You wonder if it is worth the effort and if you will be believed in the end.

Hello such things are common in houses, i mean family and job too, though it is injustice.. I have taught in university for over 45 years, one i faced false allegation, i had to fight in the court of law to win, Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Professor

YES, I have already experienced it! and it hurts me so much especially when i know that the person whom you trusted with, and you think that the only one will understand and support you, but its not! despite they're the one who pointed out and accuses you..

I think most of us did. I was wrongfully accused many times, but I don't bothered them. What is important is that I don't do it.

Yes a couple of times by the same persons. I just kept quiet, I did not confront her. But luckily my friends knew me better. At the end, people saw that I would have never done what was accused toward me.

Yes, I've experienced it before. I became well known in the place because of the gossips my supposed friends were spreading. It was very stressful but in the long run people discovered I haven't done anything wrong and I am the victim in the said situation. Good thing I didn't talked back nor argue with them I keep silent.Not a single word were heard from me.

It happened to me also all the while you thought that your friend know you already but she's the one spreading bad things against you. You really can't tell or expect others that they know you well expect your self and your family .

If I hear someone spreading something about me like that, I embellish it until it becomes absolutely absurd...If people lie about me and it gets spread around, it is their sin. Gossip is compared to Murder in the Jewish faith because it takes a "piece of a person and kills it". It is a serious sin and it is mostly a woman's sin. I do not care and never have cared if someone believes gossip. If they truly know me and care about me, they will not believe it (and help me with the embellishing). I also will not listen to gossip and will call a person down in public for doing it. This often makes me very unpopular. It seems that most folks don't want to be gossiped about, but they themselves wish to gossip.... Glass Houses...Etc. Shalom~Adoniah

I have been before and most people dont believe me because of my past. But when i am wrongfully accused i always find who is spreading the lies and i make them tell everybody while i am there so i can defend myself. Then at that time everybody will see who is the liar. This has happened alot but i also keep everything under control. I cant stand to let people say lies about me when i am not around.

Yes a few times, of course, during High School, there are a lot of people who really have nothing better to do. Therefore, they tend to spend their time spreading rumors about people that are quite frankly not true. Of course, a lot of the time, that will happen beyond High School. It is just the fact that some people grow up while others just merely get older. Still, I just ignore it for the most part. People for the most part, have some short attention spans. Therefore, they are going to really move onto the next thing, if I do not fan the fires by acknowleding what happens. There are times where rumors really burn out, unless someone denies it. Then you run the risk of someone wondering if you really hiding something from your friends. So, yeah, people have spread rumors about me, but I try and ignore it. Its just a way of life.

OUCH!!!! I was accused of doing something that was totally against my character also. It was about 2 yrs. ago in a worl place. I was protecting a student from getting her tail kicked and moved her out of the way. A kid took a picture on his cell phone and looked like I was man-hndling her. 6 weeks later, cell gets confiscated, AP looks at it and without asking the details (of which were all documented at the time) she assumed what she saw was truth and pretty much laid into me wagging her finger in my face ( extremely unprofessional). Needless to say, I left that employment of my own volition. The hurt goes incredibly deep to this day. Actually, this week it happened also....student told mom I didn't give him enough time on a test, she calls and complains.....They fill the postition I'm filling in for ASAP...He lied, he wasn't even the last one done and I asked at least 3 times if anyone needed more time. He never said Boo! Do you think mom called and spoke with me? Nope. A sad day today... feeling down. ( I sub) First time in 14 yrs. a parent has complained when I've been on a long term....

In my first year of highschool, someone shouted out to me and called me a man lover. Then everyone else started thinking that I was. Then half way through my first year of highschool, some guy saw my in the library early in the morning, later in the day he called me out in a hallway filled with a bunch of my old friends, he called me a nerd. Then everyone else joined in. First year of highschool was hell for me.

it sucks
