How to use "Tell on" in context?
One of the harshest words that a person can utter to someone is "tell on." The implication is to betray someone in some way, perhaps by tattling to a teacher, a friend or a parent. For some, the act of tattling is a way to correct wrongdoing, for others it is simply a way to protect themselves. No matter the motivation, telling on someone is never easy.
The act of tattling can have a snowball effect and soon becomes an exercise in tattling on everyone. Telling on someone always breeds mistrust and destroys camaraderie.
