Question Posted Saturday January 29 2005, 11:05 am
I was bullied at the age of eleven by my so called best friend, because she was jealous of what I had. This made me depressed from a very young age.
The weird thing is, I'm still friends with this girl now. She's changed, and after all she was only young when she did this to me.
However, the bullying still scars me. This girl and I are forever competing with each other for peoples attention and we argue often. We never talk about the past because it's over now, but I think we're both hurt inside.
What should I do?

Explain to her that you still want to be friends with her, and that you still love her just as much, it's just you wanted to get it out in the open because it upsets you. If she is a real friend, of course she will understand this, and want to talk to you about it, to make sure your okay. However, I think when you decide to do this, it should be when perhaps you two have spent some quality time together, and it is just the two of you with no-one else around. (Also, face to face, not on AIM or MSN or on the phone). Hope it works out okay. [ aimee's advice column | Ask aimee A Question ]

Are you sure you want to be friends with someone who hurt you and who you argue with and compete??? Why would she be hurt inside if its you that go hurt?

a) go with the flow
b) Stop being her friend
c) ignore her and that will make her ask you why you are ignoring her and than just say that your still hurt about everything.
