Are We Really True Friends?

[Whisk_Luva]

Well hitting her back wont do any good. Have you tried talking to your teachers? Is home life tough for her? Are her parents still together? You need to dig deeper and find out the reason. Teachers could probs do this better as she cannot hit the teachers. Do you have a school counserlor? Maybe thats the best thing for her... to talk out the reason why she does it?

Hope this helps,

She needs counseling. That's all there is to it. And if the other girls are not mature enough to be your freinds even if you don't like her, it is time to find new friends.

Did this friend move from Ireland with you? I suggest you learn now, while you are young, that no one can control your life or your friends unless you allow it.
If you want to talk to the other girls then do so, if they don't because of this girl, then I suggest you find friends with a higher level of maturity. Thinking so low of yourself to allow this person to cheat from you and then still tolerating her abuse tells me that you could use some counseling for your own self esteem.

I would dump those people, there acting lame.

It's better to have one friend than none .. in this case it would be better to have none.

I don't have any best friends, I just hang with people when I want to have fun ... that's why I hate with best friends .. there's fights, jelousy ect ... and it's just not worth it too deal with it, you can get depressed.

Wow, I didn't realize things still worked that way. That's exactly how it was when I was your age. There was a "leader" and every one in the group liked who they liked and did what they wanted to do. I remember it being very stressful at times. I went to a very small school, so my options were limited as to who I "hung out" with. Having been through that situation, I can now say, as an adult, I wouldn't be friends with her AT ALL. But then there's the issue of all the other girls following her and being mean to you too.
I don't know if you'd be able to do this, but try it. If she says she's not going to be your friend anymore just tell her it makes you sad she chooses to do that. But don't let her know it's bothering you. Like you said before, she'll get over it in a couple of days. And if she doesn't....then I think it's time to find a new set of friends. I know that's easier said than done. Like I said, I've been in your shoes before. I'm sorry you are going through this. Good luck!

The title of your thread is, "Are We Really True Friends?" If she's treating you like you describe, she has a problem. It is never right to abuse someone like she's doing to you. No true friend would ever act like this.

She hits you, slaps you, makes fun of you, kicks you, and cheats off your school work. You need to get away from her. All the friendships in the world are not worth enduring this torture. Most importantly, you need to report her to school authorities. This behavior is inexcusable. If you continue to allow yourself to be treated this way, eventually, others will pick up on it and start treating you the same way.

Right now, you need to stop hitting her back also. That's only bringing you to her level. Find some friends that treat you like a friend should treat you. Good luck.
