MSMWBTUA1718 answered Tuesday March 27 2007, 4:26 pm: You don't have to ditch them, but i'm recommending you confront them. Communication is important when solving a problem. if you don't speak your mind, no one's going to realize how you feel, and they'll treat you even worse. If your friends are telling you how to eat, and how to talk, then they aren't accepting who you are. true friends accept you for who you are, and try to help out rather than rudely criticize. if they want to embarrass you in front of people they know will react, then that's just cruel. who cares if you don't curse, it's not like it's an accomplishment. good for you that you don't curse. i think you should confront them, because if your friends don't care about your feelings, then they aren't being such good friends.

If I were you I would talk to them and tell them how you feel, or else they will never stop. If you tell them and they still don't stop then it's time to get new friends.
