Okay I'm so sad! There's this unpopular girl in my class who has only one friend. When I was walking come she called me a bitch. I never even talk about her and I'm not popular myself and never said anything mean about her or to her and she's not even in my class! I know you'd probably be like, don't think about it. But when somebody calls me somethign mean or accidently, even accidently calls me something a little bit mean, I get realyl sad about it and remember it for years and I don't want to add thsi one on the list. I shouldn't be so sad about it but I am and I've been crying for hours because I'm so emotional
This girl is probably bitter and possibly even jealous of you. Like the saying goes, misery loves company. If someone is bitter and jealous, they probably aren't going to be too nice to everyone; They'll just spread their misery, and this is exactly what this girl is doing to you.
You really need to have confidence in yourself. People are going to say things about you for the rest of your life. It doesn't matter how perfect you try to be; People will be mean sometimes, but it's up to you to know who you are.
Be nice to her. I'm not saying that you should befriend her, but if she says anything mean to you, resist the temptation to fire back with another insult. Taking the high ground is very good for your confidence. (How many confident people have you met that are mean?)
People will say things about you, but that doesn't mean that you should believe it. You know yourself better than anyone else.

It's hard, but whenever something like this happens, you've got to remember that there are a lot of horrors out in the world. I had a problem like this once. Perhaps their life at home isn't exactly a happy one, she may not be fortunate to have caring parents. She may have suffered great losses, such as losing family--that takes YEARS to get over. I'd suggest that maybe talking to her, not mentioning what she said to you, could make her feel like there's someone out there for her. If she still doesn't give a nice reply, try not to get upset. Some people out there just aren't the nicest. But we're all here for you. [ Swiss's advice column | Ask Swiss A Question ]
Kate032 answered Monday January 29 2007, 5:50 pm: wow. okay i am sooo the same way. when someone says something to me like that even possibly as a joke i take it to heart and think about it for days. you seem to be the same way. really this just means that your a very sensitive person and you must have a good heart if what she said really got to you this much.
im assuming this must have to do with why she is so unpopular. she probably isnt a very pleasant person and feels the need to take her angry emotions out on innocent people like you.
please dont take what she said personally. believe me i know its hard not to. im sure if it was anyone else she would have said it to them to. you were just at the right place at the right time for her. like you said, she doesn't even know you.
Blondie3233 answered Monday January 29 2007, 5:17 pm: i think you should talk to her see why she said that and tell her that you have never been mean to her so why should she be mean to you. but also you never were "nice" talking to her, and just sort of like paying attention to her either.

Im sure this girl just has a hard life and takes it out on other people. im sure she didnt mean anything about it because im sure your a good person. just maybe tomorrow talking to her and saying hi or something. dont bring up the bitch part because that would be awkward but make some social contact. i hope it helps.
