My friend/crush said 'Go kill yourself', laughing to me… after I got a better grade on an essay compared to her friend (mostly everyone in the class got Ds I got a B, her friend got a D)… She has no idea how many times people said 'Go kill yourself' to me. I'm making a serious thread this time. I'm not that good at speaking up for myself. What should I do?
I wasn't the one who first talked to her. She was the one who talked to me first, and I'm not good at finding another friend (unless they're in band or we talk a lot).
Ignore her. Or tell on her, it may be called tattle tailing, but you don't really want those words to you.
I have received those words quite a few times myself. I know how you feel. I learned to ignore them and say, "Right back at you (with the occasional "Bitch.")" I understand this may be hard to say if you have a hard time telling the truth, but if they tell you to do something that is irreversible such as killing yourself, say it, find someone you trust, and stick with him/her for a while. That is what I do.
Defensiveness with some Offensiveness. I was the, well lets say, The School B*itch. But I used my strategy and am know the most feared person in school (I still have friends but they all respect me) :-)
