The thing is, I am a high schooler, and I have some problems with my classmates. First of all, I am in a friend group of 4 girls. One girl in the group is very problematic, she is straight up malicious. She hates everyone, she says very mean and hurtful things every day, she acts like an 8 year old with very serious mental problems. I know that she has a lot on her plate with her family and everything, but I can’t bear it anymore. The disgusting things she says to me every single day. “She is joking” the other 2 says. Meanwhile her jokes are mostly racist, and very mean. Its probably her projecting her inner problems to the outside world, but I cant/dont want to tolerate this behaviour any longer. She is slowly but surely pulls the other two with her, but I would rather leave town than let the same thing happen with me. I turned 18 a couple of weeks ago, and let me tell you, I was in a really bad place these last couple years. I had been diagnosed with depression, anxiety and bulimia, then I started taking meds, which helped me for a time. I’ve been managing since then, but I am starting to feel like “that” again. I have physical problems too, like diarrhea, nausea and I also had a panic attack. I dont want to be an outcast in my class, so Ive been keeping up with my “friends’”. But today, I left school, because I couldn’t stay there any longer. Also, this week, I noticed that they have been kinda avoiding me. What should I do? Should I stay like this? Or have a talk with them? Should I just leave the friend group and get ready to be bullied? I think I should strengthen myself, but Im not sure how.
