major food fight: worth feeling guilty for?
(As a note, I changed the names and places to keep it anonymous)
To summarize, basically my friends and I got into a food fight with these other kids who does not like me at all! My friend Ryan stuck up for me basically because they have been calling me names, and he punched them out. I feel ashamed because the main reason they fought was because of me. The bad kids picked on me, and picked on my friends because they were my friends. They generally didn't like me because I am "too ugly and fat". I am overweight but I feel it's no excuse. However, as everyone in the crowd laughed and observed the fight, I cried. Because if I was not there, this would not have happened. They hate me, and they beat up my friend because of me! My other friend said it's not my fault because I did nothing wrong.. but that didn't change how I felt. How can I deal with this?

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
You can't control their actions; you can only control your own.
Your friends were trying to stick up for you and even though it's the wrong way, it's still sweet of them--but I think you know that, judging from the fact that you DO feel guilty.
It wasn't your fault. They made the choice to defend you and reap the consequences. They care about you. The jerks that treated you like crap will have their crap catch up to them eventually.
You didn't do anything wrong at all. I know that doesn't make it easier to deal with, probably, but maybe knowing that someone impartial feels that way will help?
