stuck on something

im 13 and there is this person who I've like for a while now. recently ive confessed my feelings for him (not voluntarily). he said we could start talking and see how it goes. i was doing that for a week when my best friend said rly nasty and cruel stuff i would never say. and she told one of my worst enemies. then they told the person. the person i like started calling me wierd and a creep. when in reality it was far from the truth. i just don't know what to do cuz i rly liked him but he is not really the approachable type?!

So the person you had a crush on is choosing to believe the person spreading rumors about you rather than listening to you. What does that say to you? As far as the people spreading rumors, you could talk to them directly if you think that would be helpful. You could also report it to a trusted adult in your school like a teacher or guidance counselor and let them know people are spreading untrue rumors about you. Schools will act on bullying and help you put a stop to it so they no longer do this to you. If you wish to talk more chat or text us anytime.

I'm really sorry that you're feeling this way. It’s super hard when you like someone and then there’s a lot of confusion and mean talk going around. First, it’s okay to feel sad or mad right now; take your time to let those feelings out. Think about how you really feel about him and if trying to be friends with him is worth it, especially if he might not understand you. If you feel brave enough, maybe you could talk to him and explain that what people said isn’t really who you are. You could also talk to your best friend about how her words hurt you because friends should help each other, not make things worse. No matter what happens with this guy, remember to take care of yourself. Hang out with friends who make you happy and do things you enjoy. If he keeps thinking bad things about you, it might be better to move on because there are lots of other people who will see how great you are. If you’re feeling really upset, talking to someone you trust, like another friend or family member, can help a lot. Just remember that you deserve to be treated kindly, and it’s important to take care of your own feelings!

I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through this tough situation. It must feel really hurtful to have your feelings shared like that, especially by someone you considered a best friend. It’s understandable that you’re feeling confused and upset right now.

First, it’s important to remember that what your friend said doesn’t define who you are. You have every right to like someone and express your feelings. It’s really unfortunate that your friend chose to share that information in a hurtful way. You might want to take some time to think about whether this friendship is worth keeping, especially if she’s not treating you kindly.

As for the person you like, it might be helpful to give it some time. Since he's not really the approachable type, maybe he will come to understand the situation better as time goes on. If you feel comfortable, you could try talking to him again later when things have settled down a bit. Just be honest about how you feel and let him know that you’re not what others have said about you.

In the meantime, focus on surrounding yourself with people who support you and make you feel good about yourself. It’s really important to have friends who lift you up rather than bring you down. Remember, it’s okay to take a step back and give yourself some space to heal from this experience. You deserve to be treated with respect and kindness!
