Should I change my number?
I'm planning on getting a new number (Because I've had the same one for SO long, and I've gave that number to people I don't talk to anymore), but I'm kind of afraid of something happening...
The service recycles the number after 30 days of non-use, so I'm scared that my one friend that has my number (I only like to give my number to family) will text it. I don't want to be associated with her anymore. She's "bad news", if you know what I mean... That being said, I won't give her my new number.
Should I be scared? Or is it just me? Also, we don't really text anymore.

Your being very dramatic over such a small thing, don't you have something of importance to worry about? Also what reason to you have to be scared? Did you belong to a gang or make meth together? Idk what the big deal is you got all these answers of just ignore if I changed my number after a telemarketer got it i would be changing it monthly!! why would you change your number? Just do what all the nice ppl said, sorry but I had to be the one to say hey Drama Queen ask something that matters this is highschool stuff

I'va had the same number for years and I would hate to change mine. But i've considered it a few times just due to some harassment issues.
Maybe instead of changing the number you could just block the bad news friend's number. Contact your cell provider and they may be able to block it for you. That usually works for me.
You could also just not reply to her if she does text you. She will probably get the point eventually.
If it's a really bad situation, where you are being harassed or threatened then I would change my number over dealing with that any day.

I'm not American so I don't know whether it costs you to receive a text or not. If you don't like someone, think they are bad news, than why care if they can't reach you?
I would get a new number and make sure you don't give it out except to family. Don't take the phone out at school and only use for emergencies. If anyone asks if you changed your number tell them your parents put you on a new plan for emergencies only and leave it at that.
The moment you give the # to anyone at school they'll all have it. Stick to Facebook and have your phone for family either that or see if you can block texts and calls from certain people now.

If you don't talk to her then who cares? If you change your number then it's entirely up too you whether you want too or not. IF she does text just delete it. Simple as that

You just admitted that you dont text anymore. If you chose not to change your number and this "bad news" girl is the only one you are really concerned of hearing from, then the occasional call or text from her should be easy to ignore. Just because she texted or anyone whom you dont wish to associate with any longer has texted you, it doesn't mean you have to respond.
But let me explain one thing...even if you change the number, because in life you are going to experience this somewhere again.
If you start a relationship with a girfriend, or even a dating relationship with a guy... and over the months as you get to know them, they let down the false identity they showed you and know you realize you don't like them at all, then you need to end the realtionship.
So for the future here's how you end a relationship as peacefully as possible without causing problems for yourself.
When someone stops talking to you, don't you get curious and wonder why? If you just stop seeing someone without some explanation they are going to be curious too, maybe even angry and upset.
Can you tell them the truth as to why you don't want to associate with them any longer?
Nope! It won't work. If a person thinks there's nothing wrong with their behavior and you tell them that there is and thats why you dont want to hear from them any more...then that will just make them angry, vindictive and they may want to make your life hell by phoning and texting multiple times a day. I've heard of people writing in here who've experienced that.
So, if you can't tell them the truth, what can you say? Place the reason on yourself as you thought that maybe you had a lot in common with her/him and have discovered over time that you have less and less interest in hanging out cus it's just not fun. Tell them, maybe that you have changed and are looking for a different type of friend. With a guy its even easier, you just say that you've given it plenty of time cus he's a very nice person (even if he's truly an A--hole) but you don't feel any chemistry with him.
The reason you don't piss someone off these days by letting slip that there might be something deficiant in their behavior is because there are more people these days with mental health issues, and there are more over stressed people or very depressed people around that you may not realize are ready to 'snap' or 'explode' and do something rash. Think of all the 'road rage' out on the streets and highways...thats explanation enough.
I hope this helps you dear. If I can help with anything else and you wish to hear from me specifically,then you can go to my column and write to my inbox.
