Don't know why I have that as the subject, but whatever. Okay... Well, today has been such a long day its not even funny. Thankfully mom wasn't yelling at me this morning, BUT my """"friends"""" have been making fun of this girl from the first day of school, I've never really talked to her(the one that they're making fun of) and well ...this morning one of the girls that use to be a friend of mine said the "nickname" they've been calling her since the first day of school, and I lost it... I snapped and right after she said it I snapped back "Her name's Katie" ... and well, there wasn't a responce, THEN the one that said the "nickname" gave me this really evil glare. I grabbed my stuff, and went to class fifteen minuets early. And through first hour I was thinkin' and writing my thoughts on my arm, and then in fourth hour I used one of the handouts we resived to write down my thoughts(The back of the page is FULL), then at lunch my (somewhat) best friend mentioned it, and then I started to cry, I grabbed my stuff and went to the office to talk to my guidence counciler, then I felt better...Up till sixth hour. I'm the type of person that gets frusterated with myself quickly, and well I did. I didn't know what our assignment was, and I snapped and started crying again. And what happend this morning didn't help the situation. My point is... Have any of you been in this kind of situation? Katie's a MUCH better friend then the other two will EVER be. Katie's a total sweetheart, she's caring, smart, funny, and ugh. Just makes me SO mad when they make fun of her, and they don't even KNOW HER! I rarly ever talk to the two girls... but still... I just... ugh. I don't know. Help? Advice? Stories? Something?! :(

i know how ya feel. some of my friends make fun of three guys we know, and i just tell them to be quiet. they never do, though.

I kind of know what you mean... I hang out with this girl everybody doesn't like (Sally Joy*)and this other girl(Jean Marie*).... So everybody is like, "You hang out with Sally Joy?" right after they were dissing her.... It's frustrating. But you'll get through it, and it might even be easier if you get to know Katie.:) :side: P.S. I have come to regret a few instances when I didn't stand up for my friends.... Just keep in mind that you'll have to live with your actions for a long time. *names have been changed to protect friends' privacy. Post edited by: popcantoo, at: 2007/04/14 22:00

Aw, that sucks chica! Middle school sucks butt, then you get to high school, and the drama takes a few years to die down. By the time you're a junior/senior, there seems, in most situations, to be less name calling and picking on one another. It gets to the point where it's not worth other people's time. That's not the greatest either, but at least they stop and don't lash out their feelings randomly. Life is always going to be filled with people who thrive on hurting other people. It's something you personally have to learn to ignore and have to encourage your friends to ignore. Help Katie realize these people have no motives for dragging her down, and don't have the right to do that. Help her see all the amazing qualities she has, and that she should just tune that stuff out, because you both know that whatever they say isn't true and isn't based on anything they really know. Jesus made her to be this amazing person... not whatever your so called "friends" are calling her. I don't know if she's found Jesus yet, but he'll be her strength and refuge from all that crap. If she stands up to them and doesn't get offended at all, maybe even says something nice to them after they ridicule her (all that turn the other cheek stuff), then they'll back down because she'll have some new found source of strength that they probably won't be able to recognize. Well, I'll quit writing a book, lol. Hope that made sense...

Haha. Yeah, it did make sence. THANK YOU GIRLS! :) I haven't had that problem. They don't say anything(from what I know) about her. And they don't call her "fairy girl," from what I know, which isn't that much. But hey. I HAD A HISTORY TEST! ahhhh... lol, I hope I did pretty good... ANYWHO...
