Are these people really my friends

[TaraRayne]

To me it sounds like they are bullying you into things like making a facebook account. True friends respect other people's feelings so if they are doing things you've asked them not to like taking pictures of you then I would say they aren't really being good friends. When a "joke" is hurtful and only people making the "joke" are laughing then I don't consider it a joke. Hurting someone's feelings isn't funny.

Not to be mean but this doesn't sound like friends at all!To be honest the way you're writing only gives me the feeling you don't feel that fine in your class and those ''friends''.They are bulling you!You can't just take a picture of someone,without someone's permission,and then also put them on facebook!Friends also don't make a fun out of you,ofcourse once in a while making a laugh that is as sarcastic as what,that's fine,me and my friends do that all the time,but you've got to now the limit.If they go on then they don't seem friends to me.

I hope this sort of helped you,and if they keep on doing this,or go on even worse you really should go to someone,a teacher or a parent ^^

In my opinion, the definition of friend is someone who you like (in a friendly way, I don't mean that you have to have a crush on them), have fun with, and feel comfortable around. And these people sound like bullies who are just pretending to be your friend because they think it's hilarious. Trust me, I've always been a target for bullies, so I know their methods. False kindness is very common at my school. I think you should tell them to knock it off. If they keep bothering you, you should tell them you don't want to hang out with them anymore or tell a teacher.

Now... Let's see my opinion about each of your points.

They are always talking about "bad" stuff (You know things that have to do with "it") and although I sometimes find that humor funny I have my limits. Sometimes it just goes out of hand in my opinion.

Tell them to stop or just not to talk much about it in front of you? Such kind of humor is more and more normal these days with teens and pre-teens, so they must believe you're fine with it like most other people are. XD;; I don't think they mean to make you angry.

Sometimes they try to hug or touch me.

Are you touchy about physical contact? Most of the time when people hug you or try to touch you in a non-inappropriate way, it might just their way of trying to be friendly. In my first day of school, many of my classmates hugged me or kissed me in the cheek; yes, it might be a little weird on the start but you either get used to it or ask people to stop touching you. I don't think they mean any harm with this.

Sometimes they draw attention to me and I don't like that.

Did you tell them you don't want that? If you did, then they are being abusive and trying to make you do something you don't want to do.

They take pictures of me and I don't want them to. Just normal pictures, but I just don't want them taken and put on facebook or some other place.

That can be taken as anti-social by their point of view. Most of kids and teens these days are comfortable with posting pics on their facebook or other internet website. Did you explain well to them why you don't want them posted? If they keep doing it, they aren't really being good friends.

They also sometimes nag me to make a facebook.

Hm... That happened to me as well, I ended up getting one. xD I think they are just trying to learn more about you by making you a facebook, but if they insist too much they aren't really being friendly... just annoying.

Sometimes they mess with my stuff like someone drew a "private" in my planner and they want to see what is in the front pocket of my purse. One day someone printed out a photoshopped picture of a squirell (it was a very inappropriate picture) and put it on the front of my planner.

They mess with my personal stuff. Like today they almost put my cat I made out of clay on this cord that hung from the ceiling.

That's not ok. At all. They are just being bullies. If they don't stop, just stop talking to them. They aren't respecting you. Maybe they are trying to be playful by messing with your stuff, but there's a limit to it.

They gave me some weird nicknames like La La and Big L

There's... nothing wrong with that? XD People who are interested in you will normally give you nicknames. P: Some of my friends' nicknames are kind of offensive, but they know the person who is saying it means no harm. If you don't like the nickname, tell them to call you by a nickname you are used to or just by your full name.

They insult me sometimes

Up to what extent? Do you think they mean it, or are they only being playful?

They tend to mock me and make fun of me and sometimes they ask personal questions

That's not ok... but you might as well as be overreacting and understanding it wrong. I don't think the personal question thing is wrong, they might just be trying to know you better... but it depends on the question.

Sometimes we can have nice fun conversations but sometimes it gets awkward and they embarass me. They say they are just kidding and they mean it in a fun way. (My previous history of being picked on has left me incapable of taking a joke. )

That's not their fault, but yours? I mean, have you explained to them that are very sensitive and that you don't take jokes really well?


I think you should be friends on them and try to learn how to trust and take a joke. Otherwise, it will be pretty difficult to make friends.

[Devilish]

I think you should try and make new friends. I had these "friends" who got me in so much trouble, all the time. I just got rid of them, and made new ones. My new friends are soo much better. I have lots of friends, so I don't have to worry about not being able to make any. But, I think you should really stand up for yourself. Tell them how you feel. About everything. They way they talk to you, touch you, etc. Don't get to harsh..Or you'll get in trouble >.>

They are always talking about "bad" stuff (You know things that have to do with "it") and although I sometimes find that humor funny I have my limits. Sometimes it just goes out of hand in my opinion. They also talk about my body which I really don't like. Sometimes they make comments about my weight or chest, and say that I am "active" when I'm not.

My friends do that too. XD

Sometimes the purposefully twist my words around and fake accuse me of stuff and blame me for things.

I have first hand experience with an ex-friend.

Sometimes they draw attention to me and I don't like that.

Well, my one friend is known for being loud and noisy. I'm used to it, even though I hate it.

They also sometimes nag me to make a facebook.

I feel for you there. I'm not allowed to make one though.

They gave me some weird nicknames like La La and Big L

I'm Leash and Tangerine. Don't feel weird.

They insult me sometimes.

The worst insult I got was 'fat b****y c***-head,' and that was from the ex-friend.

They mess with my personal stuff. Like today they almost put my cat I made out of clay on this cord that hung from the ceiling. Sometimes they grab my purse. One time they tricked me so that way they could look at my "feminine products.

That's rude.

They tend to mock me and make fun of me and sometimes they ask personal questions

My ex-friend did that.

Sometimes we can have nice fun conversations but sometimes it gets awkward and they embarass me. They say they are just kidding and they mean it in a fun way. (My previous history of being picked on has left me incapable of taking a joke. )

I've been picked on all my life. Don't feel weird. But, my friends don't pick on me.

It really isn't all their fault I suppose. I for one am being a little too sensitive.

No, I'm like this too.

Some of the stuff they just want me to laugh with them. These subjects to them are kind of not so serious to them, but I guess I take them too offensively. I think they sort of want to get to know me, but I'm a little secretive I suppose.

I'm like that. My friends hate it.

So should be friends with these people or stop talking to them? Should I just hold out until school is over?

I would stop talking to them, because that what I did..., and sorry if I'm not much help.
