I admit this is a weird question but please just answer it rather than going off track.
If a teacher said to a pupil who had low self esteem (or not actually) that they would give the pupil an honest answer about whether that person is ugly or not... and they admitted yes, I think you are ugly. This is simply an honest answer to a question.
BUT, suppose that person then commited suicide based on the answer. (whether this could be proven or not, who knows, discuss?)
Could/ should the teacher be sued or held responsible in some way?
Suppose it is the same situation, only the adult requests to be paid for their honest answer (making it more likey they'll tell the truth) Would this make it any different in your opinion? Remember that kid was still willing to pay, not forced into it. Knew that they would be getting an honest answer.
First, does anyone actually think that the person offering to give their honest opinion has done nothing wrong? Even if the kid commits suicide?
