Was she serious?


Question Posted Wednesday March 13 2013, 2:15 am

My "friend" told me that people talk bad about me at school. I know that, but she said there will be something "going around" about me. She sort of overreacts and stuff, so yeah.

One time, our friend moved and she said "Once it'll get around, you'll know the story", and it never really "got around"... It only got around to a few people. So do you think she's serious, overreacting, or just trying to scare me? I'm having like a panic attack so yeah...

I don't think your friend is being much of a friend. Who knows if she was serious or not. Either way, if she is or isn't serious, don't freak out over this.
Kids and teenagers are dramatic and like gossip. You can't change it, you just have to be the better person. You know whatever is going around isn't true and since she overreacts to things, it probably wouldn't be something ridiculously huge that will affect your life very much.
Just let this go and if people start talking, let them but don't let it get to you because apparently that is what your friend wants.

Anyways, other than that, I think you shouldn't be talking or hanging around this friend of yours. She doesn't seem trustworthy and just freaks you out over stupid things. If she was a real friend, she wouldn't be doing this and if she heard a rumor, she'd tell you what it was.

You're not having a panic attack! Panic attacks (I've had one) mean you can't even stand up for like 20 minutes and struggle for breath.

As you over exaggerated the panic attack, I think your worry may also be over exaggerated. The thing is, you know your friend over reacts right? I have a feeling that whatever gets around, it wont be something that totally damages your reputation, as she'd have either told you it herslef or not at all, being a "friend".

Also, remember, if you're of school age, everyone gets talked about at some point badly. If it seems like some people don't, it's because they learn how to deal with it better.
Just say this to yourself. Ok, so something may be spread about me, but I know it's not true, and what they say isn't rational, so whilst I accept they may have spoken badly about me, I refuse to take it in.
The happiest people in life are the ones who can just let go of what people say about them, and carry on as before. You don't deserve to be made to feel bad about yourself by anyone else.
If any rumour is too bad to deal with, just speak to the school staff-it's what they're there for.

Be careful who you give your friendship too. Friends protect their friends from things that they know will hurt them, so why is it she brings something to you attention when she should be minimizing it?

When people find someone weak,then they try to irritate them,As you said that you became panic.The first thing is that she is just trying to scare.
