Bullying
There was this one day where I was randomly added into a group on snapchat, in that group there was this guy whose name I heard for the first time who confessed that he had a crush on me. I texted someone who was in that group "what do I do, I barely know him", then in the group I peacefully rejected him trying to be careful to not hurt his feelings a lot. Then it turned out to be a stupid prank. They started making fun of me so I left the group. I was like what in the world. I was trying to be nice and here they r making fun of me.
I had a crush on a guy who is popular, so one day his ex girlfriend texted me saying that he likes me. I kind of took it seriously and texted one of my popular friends who knows her and the guy. It was pretty shocking bc he barely gave me any attention so I was thinking of moving on. Later my friend tells me that she did it as a joke. I was so angry that now my feelings r a joke. Today I still text her sometimes but I barely text her.
In my school there is this one girl who is a huge joke and is made fun of all the time because she has weak English. I wanted to take a stand for her but I don't want to become a joke in the school. Its not that I'm not a good person. I tried to support her many times but she always lies about dating popular boys. Its like she just wants a whole lot of attention. I don't think she realizes that she isn't getting the good type of attention. After a lot of efforts I gave up on her and ended my friendship with her because it was starting to impact my own life. Did I do the right thing? Today I still see jokes about her on social media and when school starts I'm so sure I will hear more in the hallways.
Sometimes the so-called-popular kids don't understand when a joke is taken to far. They don't realize how much it hurts someone's feelings. I'm like the average types, I kind of have a good reputation but I know that somewhere I'm a joke just bc I had a crush on a popular guy.
I understand why you would be bothered by their behavior. It can be hurtful to have people make fun of you and others. Is it possible to keep your distance? Also if they add you to a social media text group you don’t have to engage, I get that wouldn’t be easy, but you don’t have to engage no responses or response. Think about reporting maybe to school officials if it doesn’t get better. Hope you have a good night. Text or call anytime at 888-222-2228.
