Question Posted Saturday December 10 2016, 11:51 am
Ok first off I'm a lesbian. I came out a couple months ago to people at my school, and I've been out to my family for about a year now. I've gotten good reactions except this one girl, who isn't exactly a homophobe but annoys me all the same. So she keeps referring to me as her "favorite lesbian" "lesbian friend" "best lesbian friend" etc. Like she brags to other people about how her "best friend" is gay, and if she sees me in the hallway she'll be like "AMIRA MY FAVORITE LESBIAN!1!1!" (I'm saying my real name because it's a common Arabic girl name.) In her bio she lists her friends and writes a comment about them. Mine is "Amira (fave. Lesbian friend) and in one of her snapchat stories she had a picture of me saying "my favorite lesbian." All of this annoys me, it's so extra and unnecessary. I don't refer to anybody as "my favorite straight girl" and I'm sure if I called her that she'd think it's annoying too. Despite this she still calls people faggots around me and told me a stories about how she called a girl a lesbian as an insult out of no where. The third thing she thinks that because I am a lesbian I'm going to drop my panties every time she pays me a compliment. She keeps putting her hands all over me(not in sexual way but like just come up behind me and swing her arms around me and wrap herself on me.) I don't like touching. There's nothing much to it I'm just not that type of person. No one else does that to me because they know that because it's really common sense but she still does it. Like it just makes me mad she isn't even pretty and her breath smells like shit. The thing about my school is if you don't like something and try to express your opinions/feelings everyone will just call you triggered and a Tumblrina special snowflake/feminazi or something like that. How do I get her to stop?
Unless you tell her to stop acting this way she will continue on as ignorant as ever until someone else if that calls her on it. Talk privately as that's not making a big issue in school of doing so in front of others. Speaking up is RIGHT and consider the source at school. If someone doesn't like someone else for speaking up tough shit on them. Definitely talk to her.
In the event that doesn't help see a guidance teacher or administrator and tell them that you are a lesbian, this girl knows it and thinks she is a friend and is making remarks about gays and you specifically that you find offensive. They can handle her if you need to approach them.At any rate you don't have to put up with this at school or anywhere. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]
