14/f and he's 15/m and we're both in 9th grade. This is really immature and childish but can you just read and answer for me, please?
So, there is this guy [let's call him Scott]. He's bi/gay and he's a major drama queen [no pun intended]. He'll get mad over the slightest thing. For instance, he got mad at my bffl because he always wore the same jacket. He got mad and started yelling at me b/c I didn't bring a cookie b/c I forgot. He drags me to the lunch line every other day and basically orders me to buy him food with my money.
Well, about a week ago, he suddenly called on Monday after school and said he was going to come over right that instant. I said no because I had homework and a violin lesson later that night. Then he said that all I did was homework and that I needed to get a life and be a teenager. Well, we went back and forth saying yes, no, yes, no. Well, about two days ago, my other friend and I were going down the hallways and I jokingly said that I was going to come to his house one day and he said that I already lost my chance? I was like okay then...but then he seriously went into full drama mode and said "If you don't hang out after school, I'm not going to talk to you." Or something like that. So I finally snapped and got so pissed off because he was getting mad at me for controlling my own life. So I told him that if he wanted to be a b*tch then he could be a b*tch and walked off.
Well, I don't really care that he's mad at me and I'm glad that I'm free from his drama because frankly, I was sick of tolerating him making me buy him food, yelling at me, and getting mad at me for stupid things. Right now, he's going around saying that I'm being a b*tch and overreacting and making a scene...when I'm ignoring everything. So, my question is am I overreacting? Is it reasonable for me to be mad at him?
Sorry this was so long.

I don't think it was nice to call him a bitch, but other than that you did the right thing. If he wants to be a baby, let him. It's not your job to buy his lunch. It's not your job to drop everything just because he wants to come over. It's especially not your job to let him get away with criticizing the things your friends wear.
beckss answered Saturday May 12 2007, 2:25 am: You're definately right because this kid has no right to tell you what to do and be mad at someone for wearing something a lot? That's ridicolous. Compared to me, you're a really patient person because I seriously would not tolerate that kid for like one day lol. Anyway, I know that feeling where you like feel good to finally have someone out of your life that's all about drama that you dont want to deal with, trust me. You're not overreacting. Hopefully, he'll mature one day and stop acting like a drama queen. Dont feel guilty for finally telling him how you feel. It was the right thing to do, to let him know how you feel. If hes mad, so be it. You're way better offffffff. [ beckss's advice column | Ask beckss A Question ]
christina answered Friday May 11 2007, 11:43 pm: No, you're definitely not overreacting. I'm surprised it took you this long to snap though. Knowing me, I would've snapped the first time he DEMANDED I buy him lunch. Seriously, just stop being his friend. You'll be so much better off & there'll be NO drama for you.

owns13927 answered Friday May 11 2007, 11:03 pm: (15/m) i definitally would say it's all his fault. he shouldn't be telling you how to run your life when it's yours. it seems to me that the guy has some huge problems that he needs to work out. and really, making you buy him lunch... that makes no sense, he should be buying you lunch.(you should smack the guy silly) hope i helped.
