Three girls. Used to be friends with them. Now I'm not (long story) and they're bitching about me behind my back. The part that makes it upsetting is that act really lovely to me when I'm around... and I'm a trusting kind of person. It took ages for me to believe it.
Would you please tell me what to do? Is it better to...
1)...confront them, and a)hold a grudge b)forgive them OR
2)...ignore them, and a) hold a grudge b)forgive them.
3)start a hate campaign.
Or if you have an alternative I'd be glad to hear it (but I'm not changing schools!)

ashley15x3x3 answered Monday October 10 2005, 9:42 pm: if they are going to give you shit like that you shouldn't take it you should bitch back at them because if you take there bullshit then they know that they can talk about you all the time and you don't give a damn. they say something about you say something back, and no dont forgive them you will regret it l8er on in your life.write back [ ashley15x3x3's advice column | Ask ashley15x3x3 A Question ]

ScratchesOnTheWall answered Monday October 10 2005, 1:03 pm: Personally I would talk to perhaps just one of them (the one you trust most or, actually, just the weakest one) and ask them what's going on. Don't be too confrontational, just say that you've heard some things being said and would like to know how much of it is true and why they're doing it. Make it clear you don't want an argument, just some kind of explanation.
Chances are this is going to make little difference to their behaviour, but there's always the possibility t may make them think. If not all you've done is gain the upper hand by being calm and mature about it, making them look a bit stupid in the process.

MJ answered Monday October 10 2005, 12:13 pm: ok seriously although i love your idea of a hate campaign, i think the best thing to do is either comfront them or ignore them seriously if they see that it doesnt bother you they wont do it anymore because all that they want is your reaction, hope i helped, ~*MJ [ MJ's advice column | Ask MJ A Question ]
sbloemeke answered Monday October 10 2005, 12:02 pm: First off, if you confront them, something darastic may happen. They may turn on you, and they will not be nice and all when you are around. And they may begin spreading words aound about you, lowering you. And hate campains are NOT the way to go, as nothing good ever comes out of it.
So, just ignore them. I would forgive them, because I believe all people deserve a second chance, and they are no exception. Don't ignore them to the point that it seems like you're mad at them, just don't pay attention to them. It'll seem a lot worse if they talk to you and you don't talk back.
