Question Posted Wednesday October 12 2005, 6:19 pm
I'm a freshmen, and this girl margie has started drama with me since seventh grade. In 7th grade, she hated me for no reason, we became friends again, but then in 8th grade she decided to hate me because her boyfriend dumped her because she wouldnt let him be friends with her and he mentioned me, then she started a rumor that i did voodoo. and this year she just randomly ims me and starts stuff. if anyone has any advice it'd be greatly appreciated.

Take the boyfriend situation for example. He mentioned you, and she might not like him mentioning/being around other girls because she wasn't secure with the relationship.
What I mean is that she seemed scared that another girl would take him from her.
Ignore her. Block her IMs. Don't start drama; make her think that it doesn't affect you by not paying attention to it.
Don't stoop to her level and start rumors about her. That solves nothing, and in the end, you'll most likely feel bad about doing it.
If it really bothers you and you can't stand it anymore, then confront her. Ask her something along the lines of, "Margie, why do you always start rumors about me? I haven't done anything to you."
But, only go up to her when she's alone and not in a bad mood. Don't yell either. Just be calm and mature about the situation.
If she keeps acting like that, then I would tell a teacher or someone else who works at your school. No one deserves to be treated like that.
