In Class Rivalry

There are many ways of dealing with classmates who try to make you look bad. The most direct among them is to confront the mischievous individual openly and calmly, showing him or her that you are willing to listen and understand the person’s reasons and accept any responsibility you may have.

In my high school life I had a rival or maybe I can call him/her a rival since I started to enter school. I don’t need to tell who he/she is. I just wanted to express my thoughts about him/her. I will only identify her/him as a girl. He may not be a girl, he may be a boy. She is very boastful. She always mind my business and criticize the way I interact with my classmates. Seeing her continues my hair stood up. I just don’t know how to deal with her anymore.

She messed up my life. Even my plans are her plans. One thing that really makes me feel bad about her is that I feel that she doesn’t want me. Sometimes when I greet her she will not response. She doesn’t like me. I know that she doesn’t like me because he is so cold. How I wish I could make the best of friends with her. I like her to be my friend and not a rival.

You know what, in life it is not impossible to have no enemies. Of course there are people that will make your life a little bit of clumsy. And sometimes you cannot tell those tornadoes. They will suddenly come on your way without any things to say. When they make your life messy this will make your life more challenging. And makes your life more blue.

One time we have an open forum with my friends, and without her. They asked me that among my classmates whom do I hate. I said that I don’t like her because of those incidences I mentioned a while ago. I was also scared that she would gossip me again and so I don’t talk with her anymore. And my classmates said that why should I be afraid with her that she is only a girl with no right to treat me like that. She may criticize me because she has the right to make her opinions but not that harsh.

I thought that what if I will not pay attention on what she is doing on me. I am really tired of letting herself ruin my life. And if I will talk to her for once maybe she will realize everything and stop me. And if she does mend her ways, it may be too late, no one will want to be her friend. I can’t imagine why she is behaving this way. Maybe I had done wrong which made her feel disappointed. But still ruining my life is still very irritating I wanted to have peace of mind. And I wanted to have no enemies. In fact I’m practicing not to be grouch.
