So jealous of all your lawn violets! We had tons at our last house, but none here.

They reseed like crazy so one packet of seed thrown around the lawn will just keep on spreading year after year.

One of my friends challenged me to a arm wrestling match. I lost. One of my other friends was quite shocked. I then told him, "I prefer reading books".
Some people don't get that I don't do sports. I only ride my bike for fun.
I prefer chickens and BYC now.

Smart choice.

I have a bunch a girls in my classes talking shi- bad about me. They are calling me clingy and annoying. I get it, maybe I am. The one was caught v@ping last week, and I was simply talking about her vaping to my friends who also dislike her. They wouldn't tell on me to her. One who I wrote a note to, telling her to stop spreading false rumors about me, told her all these lies that I was calling her a (Female Dog) which I wasn't. The vaping one came up to me just minutes ago, as I was just scrolling on here, since I am done with my work. She started yelling at me, and I looked her in the eyes and said, "I am only talking crap about you, because you are talking crap about me. I never called you a (Female Dog), but I was talking bad about you. Stop talking bad about me, and I will stop." She got so mad She went," I am only calling you clingy and annoying because you are, and stop talking abut me." I looked at her and replied, "I know that I am clingy and annoying. You aren't going to change me." Then she stormed off. I am going to post tax when I get home. Sorry about the language, I just need to get my anger out. I am about to go talk to her again I think. Wish me luck to not be killed.

Big breath. We are here!
I don’t really have much useful advice except to stay calm and don’t let yourself get drawn in.
And a big word of encouragement - this stuff gets better. I dunno why young girls have to be so mean to each other. But is older ladies tend to be really kind and supportive to each other.

That looks cold.

It was 31F out and the ground got warmed enough its melting from underneath.

You are very smart young lady and although these sorts of conflicts are difficult, its good to learn how to gracefully (as possible) manage them now. Us grown ups (myself included) are inclined to say; this will evaporate when your older and minimize it but to tbh it doesn’t go really away. I would say it definitely declines and becomes more hidden but definitely doesn’t disappear. Handling conflicts will be a useful lifelong skill.

My unasked for advice is this: Stay as calm as you possibly can, avoid cursing (its just unnecessary and almost always makes thing way way worse), and choose your words carefully, words may not break bones but they can still hurt.

I have complete faith you will find a way to as peaceful a resolution as possible.

So glad someone had some advice. Good advice tok I think.

It's not worth getting in an argument with her. Ignoring will actually make her madder while keeping you out of trouble. Look though her and simply don't respond, react or otherwise acknowledge her existence. She's wanting a reaction.


Tax

True, lol. My patience declines as I age. I do try to take a few seconds to calm myself before I respond when I get aggravated, I don't always succeed but I am getting better.
