Me: 13 (almost fourteen)
Him: 14
Both in the eighth grade
Today, I finally took a stand for myself. My best friend (who is a guy)had jokingly called me a bitch for the past three weeks, and he treats me like nothing. So I finally told him that, and he called me dramatic and won't talk to me. He's now running off with girls that he knows don't like me, just to make me jealous. I really want to keep being his friend, but I really don't know. I

you have a couple ways you can go about this:
1. do exactly what hes doing and go around talking to guys or girls that HE doesnt like and make HIM jealous. you dont NEED him, so show him that.
2. you could just ignore him all together and not play his games.. which is basically the mature route. it would also probably make him jealous or even mad because he would see that what hes trying to do doesnt effect you.
3. try your best to talk to him calmly about it, in person [which is best since he wont talk to you right now] or over the phone [verbally] because writing notes or e-mails/IMs could get turned around on you or even twisted. tell him how you feel and let him speak also, even tell him that it really hurt you and that you dont want it to ruin your friendship. and if that doesnt work, he's not worth anymore of your time.
plus, if he treats you like you're nothing, why try to be his friend ? what do you benefit from it ? ... feeling more worthless ?
Consider those questions hun :]

Also, any relationship you have with him down the road is likely to not result in anything that long term or even satisfying, so you don't actually have to get all that invested in having him part of your circle.
You can just start ignoring him or tell him to piss off or put up with his crap. It's up to you. Just don't come to us complaining about him if you choose to rekindle your association with him. You have to take responsibility for your own decisions. Take control of your life! [ VoiceofReason's advice column | Ask VoiceofReason A Question ]
Teen2TeenHelp answered Thursday May 12 2011, 10:44 pm: You stood up for yourself and if he was such a good friend and person, he would not be so immature to treat you that way. I think you should give it some time before you approach him again. If he treats you like nothing, then why are you his best friend? He doesn't seem like a person you want to have around for company.
