Question Posted Wednesday February 14 2007, 9:00 am
There's this girl Stacey. I went to elementary school with her and in like 4th grade we were friends and talked on AIM. not really good friends cause she always seemed kind of cold. So now we are in 7th grade and we never talk, and I have never done ANYTHING mean to her. I don't even talk with her. Wait, actually, in like 3rd or fourth grade maybe we got into some stupid little kid fight. well she isn't on my softball team but one day she came to help. Well I was at softball practice. I'm standing there, just watching the other girls cause we had a break and stacey was with us, stacey whispers to her friends., but she does a really bad job of it because I hear hear "See that girl, I HATE that girl alyssa." Oh my god, I just wanted to scream "can you TELL ME WHY YOU HATE ME?" (oh btw I kNOW SHE WAS talkING ABout ME cause I was the only other one in the dugout besides her 2 friends!!!) And her two friends nod like all knowingly, and i'm like wtf first of all, one friend hardly knows me, and her second friend is usually nice to me! Well stacey is overall a bitch and is usually only nice to girls in her "group", but she isn't MEAN LIKE THAT for no reason!! Does anyone know why she would say this?
If you want to confront her about the issue, by all means, do so.
HOWEVER, fair warning to you: By doing that, you may just cause more unwanted drama between the two of you.
If you let her know she is getting to you, she will keep doing it. That's what people like her do for kicks. If you make it clear that you could care less about her opinion of you, she will get bored and move on to something more entertaining.
See, if it were me, (and believe me, it HAS been me before on MANY of occasions) I would just say "Hate me? Well good for you." Then drop it and go on with my life.
7th grade was about 15 years ago for me, but I haven't forgotten what it was like. I know how seriously it can suck, and how nasty-mean girls can be.
I acquired an outlook of not giving a flying horse turd about what other people think about me. I know I'm a good person, and if somebody hates me, well, that is their own too bad. Their loss, not mine. I don't need them in my life anyhow. They aren't worth my time or my effort. To retort to their rude comments would only be a waste of my precious air. So go ahead. Hate me. I, frankly, don't give a damn.
That is my life. That has been my life for many, many years. And guess what? I don't feel bad about what others say to me. I don't get all hurt if somebody hates me. I know I'm better than all that. I know I am not above them, but I can strive to be above their actions. I am a perfectly happy and content individual. I don't allow others to break my stride. They aren't worth taking that away from me.

First of all, don't ask us why she'd say it. Ask her. You have to confront her. Tell her, "I heard you talking about me and I don't want to start anything, but I'd like you to say it to my face. I'll return you the favor. Why do you hate me? If you don't have a reason, I suggest you back off and keep your mouth shut about me." Usually, those kind of girls don't have guts. If her group starts defending her, tell them, "I was talking to Stacey. I could care less about what you guys have to say. Are you her bodyguards or something? Doesn't she have any guts of her own?"
You can take it and make it a little sweeter, if you thought my words were going to ask for TOO MUCH trouble. It's fine.
If you don't want to confront her, I suggest you just ignore her. She wants you to think she's all high and mighty. Porbably having a grudge about something stupid. Just being a drama queen. You could care less about her, so act like it. Don't worry about it.
