Dear Sam: There is this one girl at school who hates me. I never did anything to her, but I am told constantly how she badmouths me behind my back. I try to ignore it, but it is really starting to annoy me, even though what she says is not true. How can I try to get her to stop? I don't want any enemies.
Hurt
People who put others down do it to
feel better about them self. It’s not really about you, it’s about her
and her lack of self-confidence. Keep your attitude right. Don’t
retaliate with hurtful words. Forgive her and pray for her. You are
never responsible for other peoples’ actions or attitudes, only our own.
