i dont know what to do about my friends. Please help me, I r


Question Posted Tuesday June 21 2005, 11:22 pm

Ok, I love my friends very much don't get me wrong. I have so much fun with them. But tonight I just broke down and started crying because I was so pissed and upset. I feel like I'm always the one being laughed at. We all make fun of eachother, and we laugh together, but I feel like I'm hardly ever taken seriously. One of my friends kept saying stuff, saying I live in the ghetto when I don't. And he knows it, he just wants something to laugh at. I didn't care, and it was funny, but it kept building up. Does this happen with anyone else? What do you do? I'd really like to talk to anyone in the same situation. Thank you so much.

For One thing is that if these so called friends are making fun of you then They are NOT your friends, yes its ok if your friends do it once in awhile but if it keeps building up then that cant be good. Yes, this has also happened to me. the best thing to do is to talk to them about this problem.<<<< I kno that isnt the easiest thing to do but if you want them to be your friends then you really should do that! If that doesnt work (meaning after ya'll discuss it and they still make fun of you) then sadly you'll have to tell them you dont want to be friends anymore.<<<<Once again that isnt easy.
If they aren't good friends, you should trying making new friends, Making new friends isnt easy either but at the end its worth having good friends instead of the "friends" you have now
I hope i helped, good luck!

Hey! I'm been in the exact same situation as you lately. My friends recently have just been cracking jokes about me being Asian all the time and just never.. I don't know how to explain it, but I'm sure you know. I haven't really done anything about it yet, but I'm planning on talking to just one girl first -- one of my closest friends in the group. I'm just gonna confront her online, [because it might be harder to explain in person] that it really bothers me when she continuously does that because to me, it was maybe funny the first few times, but now it's gotten a little... tired. Then when you're around her, maybe when your other friends crack jokes about you or certain other things, your friend will stick up for you and just be like, "hey guys, that's not really funny". Eventually it will get down to a lower level and then they'll finally stop. I hope this helps! Good luck with your friends <33 xox

hey
i'm in the same situation too. What i usually do is get it all out in writing (by either diary/journal, poems, songs, letters) and the best part is you feel better afterword and you dont have to show anyone. L.O.L i hope that helps its how i get my anger out . L.O.L but after that try saying what you feel to them but if that doesnt work then forget them ! its summer and try to make some new friends n forget about the old ones if you really can't stand them. I honestly think starting out on a clean slate is always the best! hope i can help! if you need any advice ley me know!

I haven't been in this situation but here's my adivce. I think you should talk to your friends about this. Tell them how you feel and how bad you feel when they say stuff like that even if they are just kidding. I'm sure they will understand and stop. Hope I helped.
