The Anti-Friends ;
The bully
Every school has one - a person who likes to push other people around . If you're dealing with someone who makes physical threats , talk to a teacher or trusted adult immediately . Don't worry about how it will look , just let someone know that this person might get physical . At least someone will be watching and will understand if you have defend yourself .
The Rival
You got a 95 on the math test , she got a 97 . You got tickets to a cool concert , she got backstage passes . You made three assists in the soccer game , she scored two goals . This kind of enemy can drive you crazy , but she can also force you to work harder and get better . Just make sure that you don't become obsessed with beating her . Do your best , and hope that she challeges make you stonger .
The Loudmouth
"Sticks and stones may break my bones , but words can never hurt me . " Yeah , right . The truth is words can hurt . But try to keep in mind that the problem is hers , not yours .
The next time the Loudmouth starts teasing , try to imagine her as a squawking chicken , flapping her wings and letting her feathers fly . You wouldn't let a chicken bother you , right ?
It takes time , but if you just ignore her -the way you would a television with the sound turned off - she'll get bored and move on .
The person who dislikes you for no reason
Ouch , this can hurt . But there will be people in this world with whom you just don't get along . It may not make sense , but there it is . Don't waste your time trying to win this person over . Just accept that not everyone can like you , and focus on spending time with the people who already do .
The backstabber
It hurts to have a friend who turns on you , or talk about you behind your back . Try very hard to see this person for who she/he is . You can't trust her/him with secrets , so don't . Be wary , too , if she claims to have changed and wants to be your friend again . Friendship is earned , not given away for free .
