16/F,this girl who use to bully me so badly in 5th grade continues to gossip and say all of this crap about me in high school. Because of her actions, I've had a low self-esteem.
I could care less about what she says or thinks about me cause her opinions don't matter to me at all. Usually, I'll just ignore her and I won't let it bother me. I was willing to forget about the past and forgive her but she just refuses. I think that she is really immature for holding a grudge against me for so long. My best friend told me that she could be jealous or she needs to pick on someone to make herself feel better. But, I'm wondering what is her problem and why do you think she continues to do this?
Melody answered Thursday July 20 2006, 5:45 pm: Your best friend is right. She's just jealous and has nothing better to do than try to make other people's lives miserable. Don't let her get to you. Why would she hold a grudge against you if she was the one who was being the bully? She sounds like a serious baby (you're right, she's very immature) to me. So I would say ignore her, and let her gossip. If anyone asks you about some of the things she's been saying, tell them she's a psycho! Haha, kidding. Just tell them she doesn't have anything better to do with her life than gossip about you and you've learned to ignore it. Then tell the people that have asked you that if they want to believe a bunch of stupid shit, that they can. Simply ignore her and everyone that listens to her bull shit.

cheerchik answered Thursday July 20 2006, 10:54 am: Maybe this girl IS jealous of you. If she is its still no reason to pick on. The girl might have something else troubling her at home, which might cause to need an outlet for her anger and your it. I hope you can fix things.

caramella answered Thursday July 20 2006, 10:06 am: shes obviously mad jealous of you,because mabey there a guy she liked that thought you were pretty or something.she wants to get attention in any way possible cuz you are probably more popular.but in the end the only attention shes getting is ppl calling her a 2 faced hippocrit for talking about you.forget about her man,if she wants to be jealous she can stay jealous [ caramella's advice column | Ask caramella A Question ]
Mollysie answered Thursday July 20 2006, 9:23 am: A lot of people deal with almost this same exact problem including me. People are so cruel, and very immature. It sounds like this girl is just doing this because she is so bored with her own life she needs to stick her nose into somebody elses. You can talk to her, and be like "I'm not sure what your problem is but I'm really sick of all this crap, we are 16 not 10 and I've tried to be nice to you, I just think it's stupid that your gossiping nobody in there life needs extra drama they've already gotten enough" But personally I would just completely ignore her, hopefully she will relize it doesn't make you upset and she will sadly go on to the next person. See bullys like to pick on people that it gets to, it's almost like they enjoy seeing people hurt. So if you just don't let it bother you then I hope they will move on and leave you alone. If you want to stick up for yourself you most certainly can, but if you just want to ignore it and have them move on maybe even quicker thats fine too! Your best friend was right, they are probably jealous of you, you seem like a very nice girl!Don't ever have a low self-esteem because of these people, there sad pathetic people who I sometimes feel bad for because they don't have anything going for themselves! Good Luck! I hope I helped at all!
I love feedback good and bad!
Love,
