My friend is constantly putting me down. I am a very sensitive person, and if I start to cry for something that she doesn't feel is a valid reason, I won't hear the end of it. If I am around her and start to cry, she will make sure all of my other friends know. They are nice enough to leave it alone, but it makes me feel really self-conscious. What should I do?

    Friend?
    What good is a friend who always puts you down? Real friends are people who help you out in times of need. What you need to do is let her know how you really feel. She can't change anything if she doesn't know what to do. If it is too hard to talk to her face to face, you can write her a letter/email. Then you know that you have done something about it and you can sort it out from there. Remember that it is alright to cry, it is better letting out all of your emotions then bottling it all up inside and ending up breaking down because no one knows what is going on. Keep a smile on your face and look at the bright things in life...everything will be ok.

    Drop her now!
    I have a friend that also makes comments about me, but I don't cry or get upset because I know she is playing with me. But maybe she doesn't need to be your friend if she is always putting you down and making you cry. If you drop her as a friend, you will feel much better about yourself.

    She's not your friend, PERIOD.
    First of all, anyone who makes somebody else more miserable than she already is DEFINITELY NOT A FRIEND. If she makes it a point to rant about your problems and make you feel small, then it's high time you look for another hang-out buddy; somebody who can help you build better self-esteem and who'll be there to listen and not criticize you. STAY AWAY FROM HER....she doesn't deserve you, or anyone else!

    Third party
    I agree with all these people, she's not being a good friend. If you're too angry/afraid to talk to her, speak to a mutual friend about it. Tell the second friend why the first is making you upset. If that person is a real friend, she'll mention something.

    This girl isn't really your friend if she puts you down like that. But you're going to have to stand up for yourself and tell her that what she does really hurts you. Then you're going to have to dump her. It may hurt, but your feelings are more important.

    She's NOT a friend....
     I was in the same situation in middle school. The girls in my group didn't listen to me when I told them problems or stories. It hurt my feelings, so I stopped hanging out with them. If she doesn't care about you, and you feel that she's not respecting you as a true friend, she's not worth your time...TRUST ME! Find people that have a positive energy. That way, they won't bring you down.
