My best friend and half my school turned against me.
Question Posted Saturday March 24 2012, 1:52 am
I know this is kind of long, but I need advice on what to do.
Okay, so my best friend, who i will call Sally, for protection reasons, and i had this huge fight. She was picking a fight, too. We were joking around about her birthday party and she brought up her friends opinion on it. Now, consider, Sally and I both know I don't like her friend because shes a mean drama queen. Sally and i also have a promise to alwaus be honestand open with each other. I expressed that her friend was rude to me and I didn't like her, and Sally exploded at me about how I was "talking smack about her friend since she was five" She stormed out of the room and left me stunned and confused. Later on, in Drama, we were arguing and she said that "I was trying to lose all my friends and i treat everyone like garbage" and when (after her asking a question for the sixth time and me answering for the sixth time) i made on comment about her being blonde, she said "i hurt her in a way she can:t shake off" and then started telling people i shoved her. Even though i wouldn't do that. She told me she spent lunch crying, and so did i, but the difference here is that I was alone, in a classroom eating pizza and sobbing into my knees. After that, on several occasions she hascalled me bitchy and said that i was the rudest person she has ever known. She has a small army of people all against me and I've been having emotional meltdowns daily for more than a week now. We hardly ever fight and I don't know what to do. I've apologized, but I don't think she ever wants to make up. I'm about to seek therapy and transer schools. HELP!!!

When you're in school, everything seems so dramatic. I haven't talked to or cared to talk to anyone really after high school. You move on. The "popular" kids are no longer popular. It doesn't matter. Everyone is in college or working doing their own thing. So keep that in mind when you're stressing out about this stuff. If you are being bullied by them, go to a counselor, a teacher, a parent, a sibling. An adult. It's unacceptable to be bullied. Don't give those people a reaction, especially "Sally". Ignore them. If they were your true friends they wouldn't be so dramatic and make up lies about you. If she doesn't want to make up then it's her loss. She'll see that when you're the mature one about it. Just don't deal with your emotions alone. Talk to someone about it. Tell your parents. [ xomegaroni's advice column | Ask xomegaroni A Question ]
