You should tell the principle because I bet he/she could have a talk with who ever is bothering you. Sure they might come up with some remark like "You wimp! I can't believe you told the principle...baby.." But just say something along the lines of "Well you haven't got enough common since to know that if your gonna play with fire then your gonna get burned." =]. I have the same problems right now. I know how it is when someone does things like that to you.

I really think you should bring it up with your parents, as well as a teacher you trust. You don't know for sure it was your best friend so don't mention her if you can help it....but say that you haven't been getting on very well with a friend lately and you don't know for sure but they could be involved.
In the meantime, the only thing you can do is to keep your head down and act like it's all washing over you. The more you look like you're checking over your shoulder, so to speak, the more of a kick they'll get out of it.
On a side note, if this does have anything to do with your best friend, you may wish to reconsider that friendship. After all, I don't really believe that a true friend could turn around and treat someone like that. [ Vikki27's advice column | Ask Vikki27 A Question ]

Its the best thing to do trust me, last year i got into a fight with my BEST friend alex for 7 months, yes i kno 7 months is crazy for a fight to last but that was because we never talked we always fought when we talked and it got us even madder at eachother. THen finally when i went up to her and tried talking with her and discussing everything that happend and say my apoligies it all ended. When we fought i got nasty text messages and IMs and i just ignored them its all stupied immaturity to scare you. Dont be unless it gets really serious. I hope things with you and your friend work out because i know what if feels like to be in a fight with my best friend and i hate it.. bye xoxox [ iiLoveRyOUx0's advice column | Ask iiLoveRyOUx0 A Question ]
