This is the worst

Actually feel hopeless. I hate that girl, she's disgusting, she's purposely triggering other people who are supposed to be her friend. And my best friend is caught in the mix, getting anxious because of her and GCSE's coming up. We can't do anything. It's like we're trapped with a wolf in sheeps clothing, and she doesn't even understand how it's affecting us, or she does and she enjoys it because she doesnt stop, it's not just attention seeking anymore, it's potentially bullying. But we can't do anything, other than HELP her 😡😭

To survive this you will only be able to do so if you change how you react. There is so much info in your post to tell that there are v serious and complex issues around this girl's behaviour. There is definitely something very wrong. Can you observe without becoming emotionally involved? Just let her get on with it and with others noticing these things, they may be able to communicate.

It is very strange indeed, and we're really worried about her because we can tell something is wrong, but I doubt she will get the right help because she thinks she's depressed/has anxiety but it's clearly something else. I wanna tell a teacher but I really don't think they'll believe me. That and I think they'd say that I should stay out of it.

Hi why are you renting room space in your head to that girl? It sounds like she is getting to be a bit of an obsession with you and it's time to start detaching yourself from it a bit and giving it distance.

One hard lesson I had to learn in life is that you can't control how others act, only yourself. If you can't change what's happening then you have to change your attitude to it.

I should imagine the teachers are aware of it and I agree it is best to stay out of it for your own sake. x

Yeah your right, it's just very difficult when she's constantly around you and in your classes, I'm trying my best to ignore it and so is my friend, it's just what she does triggers her, and it really annoys us. We've got intervention today and we're just gonna try and ignore her completely

Yes I know it's difficult to ignore her but if you can do it you will feel so much better. x

I do have a v strong feeling that teachers already know. I think,however, it would be a good idea if you could discreetly approach a suitable teacher to ask could you talk. Try to take a calm and mature approach and explain how it is affecting you. I would also find some new way to deal with your frustrations, think about something you could do that is energetic and would release all those happy hormones. Focus on you for a while and try to ignore a lot, just let it was over you and don't make this your topic of conversation with others. Change the subject and get some joy in your life with your friends. Good luck.

I could talk to a teacher, but I wouldn't want to sound horrible about it, because it already sounds horrible enough. I go to a club called energise once a week though and that helps a bit and thank you x
