Speak to the teachers again. Write down some key events and things they've said to you and show the teacher your "bullying diary". It's the school's job to deal with this, so don't feel you shouldn't make new friends with other people. ~Good luck, Aurora
I know exactly how you feel, Ezza. The best thing to do is keep a diary of all the events and then show it to your principal. Completely ignore the girls as if they're invisible. If they name call you again, I know as horrible as it seems, try to ignore it. They're the ones with the problem, not you! Tell your parents too. I hope I've helped. ~K 15.
Dear Ezza, from now on, I don't think you should be calling those people your "friends," because from what I have read, they aren't anything like friends. I think it's time you make your own circle of friends and ignore your former ones. Soon enough, they'll realise that their comments don't work on you anymore, and that they've lost a brilliant friend. Make sure the people you choose to be your friends are people you like and people you know would never let you down. Good luck, Ezza, and be strong! Bullying is a worrying thing. I went through it. If these girl's become TOO violent, I suggest you talk to your parents about it. ~ Laurie
Okay, trust me, you are going to have problems like this all your life. I mean, I had the same problem with girls I had been friends with, but one day they hated me. It got to the point where the principal was getting involved because they were threatening me. Don't get torn down, stick to your true friends, and don't forget to ask for help. Also try sorting things out with them. Just ask why they do not like you, or if you can all please just stop this. Good luck! ~Jenn 13
Did you try to go to your friends and see what is going on? If not, go to them and search for the problem. You are bound to find it. Oh, and if they still don't treat you right, are they really your friends? A true friend doesn't care how many friends you make. But before you start to judge them, search what is in their heart. But if you're shy, go to your school counselor and have you and your friends talk about your problems at least twice a week. Remember, a good friend can have fights but it's also true that a good friend is always a good friend ~ezibre
These people that you called your friends were not your friends in the first place. 'Cause true friends do not get mad at you for making other friends. Just ignore them. If they are friends, they will be back. If they don't come back, who really needs friends like this?
I have had the same thing happen. The best thing to do is ignore them. If they are going to get jealous just because you're friends with other people, then they're not worth your time. And if they are truly your friends, they will stop and apologize to you. Otherwise, remember the saying that there are plenty of fish in the sea and with friends like that, you don't need enemies.
Look, I understand. Try to explain to them or tell them that you have the right to hang out with other people and they shouldn't care who you should hang out with. I have the same problem, though I ignore my mean friend and hang out with anybody I want to. Bye :)!!!!!!!!
If your friends can't accept that you have other friends and are mean to you, then maybe they aren't true friends. And if they can't take that and are even meaner, then maybe you should go to a school counselor. They can help, it's their job!! Love always, helpful
I also had the same problem! My advice to you is to try to talk to them and ask why they are being mean. Also, I suggest that you talk to a guidance counselor or even uhmmm..... have an open forum!
With friends like that, you don't need enemies. My best advice is to forget about them. They are not worth your time. If they wanna talk to you, they will come and apologize to you. But I would not give them the time of day otherwise
Are you sure these people were ever your friends? If your friends aren't going to accept you for who you are and who you like to hang out with, they're not your true friends and never were.
Don't let them see that they're bothering you and every once in a while, say hi to them and just be really nice. Just act like you're living your life, like you would as if nothing happened. Then they will notice that you don't care what they think. If they were real friends, they wouldn't have treated you the way that they did. And soon they will realize that you were a great friend and that they messed up big time.
I think that there are just some things in life that you have no control over and you have to learn to accept that. You can't do anything with what people think, but you may influence their opinion. I'm sorry to hear this has happened to you because this happened to me about a year ago and it is really hard to just let go of a friend or see a friend be mean to you.
I was in the same position before. My teacher told me that the world is such that we cannot possibly please everyone around us. Let them be mean, but don't be mean to them. Just ignore them. People who are mean just simply have miserable lives. Listen to songs like SugarBabes's "Ugly". It helps me get through the day.
Dear Ezza, Your friends are being really mean and unreasonable. They are not real friends if they turn on you just because they maybe don't like your new friends. Tell your parents and your teachers all about it and also discuss it with your new friends and perhaps try to talk it through with your old friends, ask them why they're doing it.
Hey, I am Gargi. I'm 14 years old and am from India. I have gone through the same things as you have. You know, there's a saying that we follow here in India: "When you have a person in your life, leave the person to go wherever he/she wants to. If the person returns to you, the person is yours. If not, then he/she was never yours." If some of your friends just try and be mean to you for a simple cause like making friends with others, then I think it is better you look out for some better friends 'cause today if you choose your friends according to their wishes, tomorrow you will have to choose your boyfriend according to their wishes. The ball is in your court. Still can't decide? Ask your heart.
Hey, Ezza. Listen, girl, if they are going to be like that, maybe it is time to move on. I was once in the same situation not so long ago and I'm much happier with the new friends. And you don't know, maybe one day you and your old friends might be mates again.
They aren't real friends if they turned on you for being friends with someone else. Real friends would let you have other friends. If they treat you rudely because of that, they aren't loyal like they should be. Tell them that you don't feel appreciated, and that you think it is unfair that they are being mean to you because you had new friends one year. Go through some hurtful things that they did to you that really hurt you. Tell them that you think that you deserve better than that. Remind them to treat others the way you would like to be treated, and look right into their eyes, and see what they have to say. If it isn't nice, just say whatever, and turn away. Remember, they aren't real friends if they treat you that way, and don't except you for moving on in life, and meeting new people.
Forget them! You don't need to be friends with people who don't treat you the way you deserve to be treated. A friend who would be mean to you just because you befriended someone else is not a friend at all.
Don't try to please them; that is pointless. But I would go to the principal, your parents, and your teacher again. Also, if you have to, you should have your parents talk to your friends' parents. -Fred
What you need to do is give them a call, invite them over and talk about it and also invite the new friends you made over and talk about all of you becoming friends.
Talk to them. If they don't want to talk, you have to respect that. But, still, you can be friends with who you want. Try introducing them to your new friends. Maybe they are just jealous and want YOUR attention.
It's so sad that these girls are being mean to you just because you are friends with other people. Just ignore them. If they are going to act like that, they aren't worth your time. Also if it continuously gets out of hand, keep this teacher posed on everything that goes on. These girls have no right to ruin your time at school.
Don't worry about them. If they can't accept the fact you made another friend, they're not worth it. And as for them being mean to you, just walk away from them and try your best to ignore them. Trust me, I had the same problem earlier in the school year. If they don't like that you have another friend, then they must not really want to be your friends. Because if they did, they would try to get to know your new friend.
Um, if your friends can't accept the fact that you're interacting with other people, then, they're not your real friends. Do your new friends treat you like this? If not, then you're going to be just fine. Hang out with your new friends, and just ignore your old friends if they're being like that.
I think you should confront them and tell them how you feel. Another suggestion is to ignore them, or you could just be friends with everybody, it wouldn't hurt!! If they have a problem with you hanging out with other people, you should tell them in a good way that that's the way you are and they should deal with their problem. Don't forget to be a little bit tough! Don't worry about them; they are human beings just like you and you should confront them and not fear them.
Talk to your 'friends' about how you are feeling and if they are your real friends they will understand and stop. If they have a go at you for talking to them about it, just walk away. If they don't let you have other friends and upset you, they're not worth bothering with. ~Aliena,12
Invite them over for a girly sleepover just as you were when you were friends and see if that will make them see if they're wrong
Hi Ezza! Just 3 words for you: OH.MY.GOD! Your friends (if that's what you want to call them) are totally out of order. If I was you, I would sit them down and tell them how you're feeling and how upset you are. If they're like, "Oh, Ezza, that's really mean and stupid of you", just say, "You're the ones who are mean and stupid", and walk off. Who knows? They might even come back and beg you to be their mate again. But if they don't, so what?! If they can't understand you need other friends too, then you are so much better off without them. ~Becky
