Lizzie Gracie and Nermonie are in a big fight. Nermonie and Gracie are on the same side. Nermonie got a hold of Lizzie's diary and photocopied the page that had all the guys she'd love to date on it then made flyers with her biggest secrets and that list and handed them out to everyone in our grade. It didn't stop there. Nermonie and Gracie made a rumor that Lizzie and her sister masterbate together and finger each other. Everytime Lizzie walks down the halls all the guys hold up a finger and say " Hey Liz, we worship you, " or something like " Finger your sister latley? " Its gotten way outta hand. I asked gracie what her deal was, and she said " Nothing, Lizzie didnt do anything. I just dont like her" Lizzie is my best friends, and I wanna help her. She cries everyday, shes sucha strong person, and very sweet to everyone, but with everyone giving her the dirty looks, holding up the fingering sign, talking bad about her to her face she just cant take it.
I wanna know what I should do to help, everynight I called her and she cries to me for hours about what somebody did to her that day. How can I end this, she never did anything. Please help <3
mitsugi answered Saturday April 15 2006, 11:30 am: I'm not sure if you can actually end it. I mean, yeah, it'll fade away in a while or you can also do the other things the other advisers suggested (ie revenge, ignore the teasing, don't show the hurt, etc..).
Since they more or less covered that ground, I'll give you something else. If I were Lizzie, I'd want someone who'll listen to me. You've obviously done that.
What I suggest is that you tell her that she can call you whenever she wants, be it night or day, rain, or shine. Anytime. Just let her feel that you are always there for her, no matter what happens. Make her feel loved. Make her feel special in little ways and basically, just be THERE.
Let me tell you that what she's going through is difficult, and you're not even sure when it'll end, but she can get passed it if she has a friend beside her, supporting her all the way.
Ten years from now, those things won't matter.. They will be forgotten... But the friendship and bond you've created over the incident will not fade. It will grow stronger and that's what matters.
Friendship does rule and with friends, you can get through anything. Make Lizzie feel that way. It's true, but she might've forgotten or she might not know or feel that way.
Support.. Friendship.. Love... All of those are sure things you can give. You can give an overflowing amount and it just means so much more. In the end, those are the things that matter.
BlondBritBrit answered Saturday April 15 2006, 12:58 am: Do not recomend her to get back at them. As far as I can tell, Gracie and Nermonie will go to any length to get her mad. It's totally fine that she cries about it after school, just make a suggestion that as sad as it may seem, people want her to get pissed at them and cry about it.
Make sure she laughs about it in public. Let people think they are laughing with her, not at her. If you do that, beleive me, the teasing will stop a lot quicker.
Most importantly, whenever she walks by the mean girls, tell her to not give them dirty looks. If she gives them dirty looks they will think that it is pissing her off and affecting her... but if she doesn't give dirty looks, they will think that she doesn't care, so they will stop putting out her secrets because it won't be as fun anymore.

TheTeenGirl answered Friday April 14 2006, 8:50 pm: Keep comforting your friend. There isn't anything that can take a situation like this back. What you should be doing about your other friends is turn them in to a teacher.
These girls humiliated her in the worst ways possible, and they definetly do not deserve to be let off easy. I know that you may think they'll know you told and start making up things about you, but you've got to drag adults into this and let them know you need help. If you just let your friend cry every night, you are letting her down by not getting someone else into this.
This is an experiance that can make someone just depressed all of the time. You never know what can happen in result of all of this. People who get made fun of start changing to stop the harassment. I know that you may think Lizzie won't change, but you never know about these things. They can really ruin school experiances.
TragicGlamour answered Friday April 14 2006, 8:31 pm: Wow. Its like your living in the movie mean girls! I give your friend such props for being sooo strong.
Well there's two choices. Conspire together for revenge and beat them at there own game. Maybe find a mutual friend who's mad at what they're doing to your friend and have her help. Or you could take the high road and do nothing or tell the principal or bitch those girls out in front of EVERYONE. Just to show everyone how stupid they are. Tell they're secrets to everyone in front of them.
This situation has gotten out of hand and needs some serious damage control. Something drastic needs to happen to stop it so I, personally, would do the flyer thing back to them with secrets or incriminating photos. And then I'd bitch her out in front of everyone. But that's just me.
I hope everything turns out for the greater good and I know some horrible karma is gonna come back to those girls. Tell your friend to stay strong and even some chick online is behind her all the way.
Swe3ti3boO answered Friday April 14 2006, 8:09 pm: Well... You know what they say, "Paybacks a bitch". Personally, an average person would want to just beat the living shit out of a person who would do this but from the sounds of it, your friend isn't the type to fight;; soo, do it the old fashioned way because you got two choices - 1) go to the principle or administrator and tell them everything about the situation. This is also called the "snitch-hitch" where you snitch and basically people either think A) shes a tattle-tale or B) leave her alone or else you might get kicked out of school. However, if you truly-truly and I mean truly want to help your friend, you'll have to take risks. Payback is a bitch && Karma's a mothafucka. Basically what I'm saying, the same thing they did to your friend, flip the scipt right back on them just in a different way. Make bulletins, signs, not flyers, do anything and everything- easy, quick and clever to get back at them. Your friend sounds like a real sweet person, and noone should be taken advantage of like that. The choice is up to you. Talking about it and planning a scheme together would help, trust me.. l0lz. I wish you two the best of luck. [ Swe3ti3boO's advice column | Ask Swe3ti3boO A Question ]
