Okay, so there's this girl that I've known/been friends with since the beginning of last year. We'll call her Rachel. So, last year Rachel and I had one class together, and we got along pretty damn well, it took us a while to really make friends with each other, but we got there. This year, we have Language Arts/Social Studies together, and since we sit in alphabetical order, she's right in front of me. Sometimes I want to strangle her. She...She talks too much to other people around us, which normally I don't have a big problem with, but now...Ai. Two kids near us(guy/girl, my friends, I think they're having a conflict or something) pass notes to each other, usually I'm the delivery girl, they never use Rachel anymore because from what I gather, she intercepts them and tries to force herself into the situation or something. Today apparentley they wrote some bad things about her(most likely because of her attitude and other things I'll explain later) and she freaked out. I stayed out of this whole thing while one kid tried to defend his actions and Rachel threatened to show the teacher.......It's just annoying.

So, enough of that, on to why she's annoying me. See, Rachel is the type of person who won't hang out with you if you aren't very popular or whatever. Because of that, she's usually how I measure where I am on the popularity ladder. Anyway, I almost feel like she's using me for something. We sit near a bookshelf in LA/SS, and she's always like "Jordan, go get me that book!" while I give her a "WTF?" expression and tell her it's 5 feet away. Which it is. Plus today, I was not feeling very good, and "talked back to her." and she told me I was being rude when I wasn't. At all. I was just trying to let the substitute call on me when she wanted to. But nooooo. "MRS. S. IT'S JORDAN'S TURN TO ANSWER." And telling me it's my turn in a tone I didn't like. It was after I sort or retaliated that she told me I was being a bitch. Whoa.

Okay, really what I'm getting at is, I think she's being bossy, rude, and...I'm not sure if I just keep her as a friend and give her a few more chances, or cut this one loose. I'm aware that this entire post probably made no sense, I'm tired and again, not feeling very good. Just wanted to get this out in the open. What do you guys think?

*takes a crack at this one*

I think you should just talk to her. Tell her what's been bothering you... Just sit her down and have a serious conversation with her. If she's being rude, then point it out! "You know, you're being really rude and I don't like it." If she's really your friend, then she'll try to work it out with you so that the two of you can be friends and have a smooth relationship. If you try to talk to her rationally and it doesn't work, and she just says "Oh you're just being a bitch" or something, for instance, explain to her that it's not right for her to treat you that way. Tell her that if she continues to treat you badly then the friendship is over. I'm sorry to say this, but if she refuses to listen and continues what she's doing, then you should really just cut her loose because she's not your friend and she's not worth your time. You can't have a friend who's constantly bothering you and making you upset; it's not healthy. But I think you're very smart and you're realizing all of this already.

I hope that helps. ^_^ I hope everything will work out okay!

I have to agree, though talk to her nicely. If you can't directly talk to her, try writing it in a letter. If she's being the bitch again you directly tell her that she's being a boss. Here: If she's a friend she'll take your compliment and accept it, and will try to change herself. If she doesn't take it as a friendly comment you tell her it's a comment from an observer/peer. The sooner the better... ~Resha

My friendship with this girl has just plummeted.

She said I looked slutty today because my shirt (that was red and had a jacket over it) was a TINY BIT see-through on my stomach (which, as my friend Abrielle points out, is fine because I apparently have the stomach for it). Also, it was "soooo low-cut!" when it wasn't. She then proceeded to say that I looked a stripper. A stripper. So I tell my friend Jessica, who freaks out and gets really mad at this girl, then she tells our other friend Jayde who yells at her: "God, why can't you just leave people alone?!"

Apparently "Rachel" was rude to Jayde as well, and it pissed her off that she was at it again. Jessica also tells me that she's really sick of her talking about people behind their backs and just being an all around bitch to people.

Which she is. I just realized something, she takes this really creepy and sick enjoyment in embarrassing me and making my self-esteem go south. So, I've decided that this girl isn't worth my damn time anymore.

Kinda sad, huh?

Not really. Some people just aren't worth the effort. The friends that stood up for you; they are. Ditch the bitch.

No problem there. I'm not dealing with her making me feel like crap anymore. Friends aren't supposed to point out your flaws at the top of their freakin' voice, are they?


EDIT/UPDATE:

I. Am. Going. To. Kill. Her. Dead.

According to her, she was talking to this guy (who pretty much nobody likes, the guy's a jerk) and he asked her who liked him. Well, she's friends with the girl who really does like him, and to "protect her" she lied and said someone else. Me. Now she is asking me to pretend to like this guy FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR. I told her I would to avoid some big fight, but am I really going to? No way in freakin' hell. Feel free to yell at me for this, but I almost feel selfish for not...

Never mind. Anyway, what the hell am I going to do? I'm not going to pretend to like some total jackass so some random girl that I've probably never even met can be safe. God...

What the hell is wrong with her anyway?! First she tells me I look slutty (by the way, you'd have to be blind, deaf and retarded to not see that that actually hurt. Then she tells some guy that I like him and wants me to pretend that I really do. So basically she insults me then asks me a favor. You know what? Screw her.
