Last year I was on the track team on the four by 100 meter relay. It was awesome and I loved it. This year was not the same. I was absent for a few days and missed my chance to be on the relay team. Another girl, who I happen to not really like, got on the team. This is her first year to be in sports and she honestly thinks she's better than everyone. She's one of those girl's whose egos are bigger than their wardrobe. I was upset, yes, because I wanted to be on the team not her. I was mad and her and I got in a little fight. I got over it quickly because I realized that it was stupid of me to be upset, but she got her "BFF" involved. A few days after the last track meet her BFF posted this in her xanga hopeĀ you did great at the trackĀ meet w/ YOUR relay team..and showed kristin whos relay team that really is..! (because we ALL know its not hers)... I'm upset, but I don't know what to do? Am i right to be upset?

Second, I can see how you are upset but the best way to go about with this is probably just to ignore it. Try out again next year, and be as civil to her as possible, because treating her badly isn't going to make her treat you any better. [ OrangeChikn's advice column | Ask OrangeChikn A Question ]

TiCkLeD_pInK540 answered Friday April 15 2005, 11:56 pm: heck yes i would be so mad at her! not her, but her best friend. if it were me i'd tell her "BFF" to stay out of it and if she wanted to be involved she could just have a piece of you, heck the whole thing. Work it out with the girl, NOT her best friend. And as far as i am concerned, it's not ANYONE'S relay team, there's more than ONE person on the team so i think that's really self-centered. you don't need to tell her that though, that would probably just make things worse. just prove that you are worth every cent and that you don't need her pity or her comments, you can stand strong and do BETTER than her. I would try talking to the coaches and say "yeah i know i wasn't there, i had some conflicts that just happened at the wrong time and it unfairly affected my position on the team. If there is any way possible to redeem myself or possibly fill in for someone who is absent, please do not hesitate to let me know." other than that, i would just ignore her...and travel in a group of friends, they'll feel less intimidated if you're with people. hope i've helped in one way or another! good luck!
always,

Wait until next year then you can show her that she isnt all that when your on the team too. you get wat im saying? sorry girl i know it sucks to have to sit back and grit your teeth, but i hope you can stick through it.
