Question
i dont want to be friends with this girl named sara, but i dont know how to tell her. she's really mean. i ignore her text messages, phone calls, and barely talk to her at school, but she isnt getting the picture. please help!
Answer
If trying to give her the hint is not working, I think that you are going to have to be direct. When Sara asks you to spend time with her, tell her that you do not want to, because she is mean to people, and it makes you uncomfortable. If Sara is mean to you, tell a parent, a counselor, or teacher, and do not spend time alone with her. Good luck!
