Recently my (ex) best friend and I got into a fight, and Im not talking to her. All my other friends tell me Im doing the right thing, but Im just wondering what I should do next?
Ever since we got our AS results and I did better than her (good enough to get a med offer from Cambridge), she's been rather unpleasant. I don't rub it in her face or anything, or mention it at all in front of her (I dont like boasting and I dont want to hurt her or anyone elses feelings, so I try not to mention it).
Shes been making quite scathing remarks about me, for example about my weight or appearance, and it often hurts quite a bit and makes me really insecure. Also in lessons, if I get something wrong she would rub it into my face for the rest of the day and call me stupid or make jokes about how Im an idiot. She always makes fun of me in front of other people now and just generally makes me feel bad about myself.
I've been very forgiving and putting up with it, because I figure hey shes just jealous, but lately its been getting much harder as it really hurts when shes rude. But still, I've just turned a blind eye on it.
But then last week, I was ill for three days. During the time I was talking to her, and mentioned a homeopathic treatment my mum was trying on me. My parents were born in a completely different culture and the homeopathic treatment was from that culture.
Now when I get to school on Thursday, suddenly everyone (people Im not friends with or dont even know/like) are coming up to me and laughing at my mum and mocking me. Even teachers seem to know and are laughing about it.
Now my 'best friend' is the only person who I told about this, so its quite easy to put two and two together and realise that she was mocking my mum to other people.
Well I got really angry and (she wasnt in school so couldnt shout at her face unfortunately) sent her a really angry text saying she has no right to mock my mum, especially to other people behind my back. Im really protective over my mum because she tries really hard and we have a very good relationship, so I get really angry when people make fun of her.
Now she (my friend) gets really defensive and says she didnt say anything (impossible-shes the only one I told) and that she didnt mean anything by it.
Then instead of apologizing (I would have forgiven her and moved on) she is now ignoring me and acting like I'm in the wrong.
Should I completely cut her out of my life? What should I do? I have other best friends/ friends so its not like I would be alone if I were to cut her out of my life, but we've just been through a lot together and it makes me really sad.
What are your opinions?
(Im sorry this is all very childish, we're 17 going on 18 so I dont understand why she is acting like this)
Put the internet to work for you.
