So...I'll skip some of the teen drama here for a little bit...
A-friend-of-my-friend and I got into some silly little argument
Nothing too big, just of of those stupid "no you didn't/yes I did" misunderstandings...

Then, she does something unexpected: slaps me across the face

Now, horsing around is one thing, but I have a pretty stict "do not strike me" policy. she may have thought nothing of it, but to me hitting = serious buisness. She asked "what are you gonna do now?" I told her that I'd hit her back but that would start a fight. I sat down because class was going to start in a minute or two. As those 40 minutes passed I became a bit more level headed and tried to explain to her that I take these things seriously, but she pretty much mocked me, in my opinion. Saying something like "child abuse" while I was trying to tell her that I don't want to be in any aort of relationship with someone who hurts me like that. She toped it all of by saying before leving "I can ***** slap you whenever I want."

Well, damn.

In any case, I told my mom and dad about it and they told me I should tell the principal. I was going to today but it just didn't feel okay, I just feel like telling somebody will just cause some more uneccesary drama and I'm just overreacting. Of course my mom and dad insist otherwise. I'm going to try talking with him tomarrow about it

Some of my other friends found out about it when I posted about it on my little online journal. (I have two circles of friends) they both wanted to rush to my defense, teach this girl a lesson. It made me really happy because lately I've felt like my friends were sort of aloof with me. My brother also said he would have a few words with her that would go along the lines of "if you put your hands on my little sister again we are going to have issues and they won't be pretty." and that if it meant breaking up with my friend (who is also his girlfriend and friend of this girl who hit me) then so be it because family comes first. I guess I had forgotten how loving and protective he is of me, he hasn't stood up for me like that since we were little kids in elementary school.

I guess I'm just confused because I know what the right thing is to do- to tell the principal tomarrow because even though she thought it was funny and still acts really friendly towards me (Go figure. The fact that she's inconsistant like this just makes me even more confused. My conclusion is that she likes me but just doesn't respect me at all) I took it seriously and it's not right foe people to treat you like that. But then I sometimes think- is it even worth it? The situation sort of resolved itself out and by saying something then it would just make her mad at me, and that seems to put everybody in a tough spot. Is telling him worth all the trouble it would cause?

First off hun, you need to get away from this girl, she is no good for you,
Why anyone would see hitting as an appropratie way to argue I don't know, and she does NOT have the right to hit you anytime you want.
If the situation as resolved itself, I wouldn't go to the princpal over it, this girl sounds really unstable and rilling her up again, I don't think it would be worth it. Not that I'm saying what this girl is doing is right, it's very wrong, and it makes me rather angry to read she did that to you, Your such a sweetheart, why anyone would want to hurt you I don't understand.
I think that maybe since the situation diffused, it's best just to walk away from it, and from this girl, she doesn't sound safe at all and if she did it once she will do it again. I know it's hard to walk away from friends, but sometimes it's necssary to let friends that aren't really friends go.

I am always here if you want to talk, please keep us all updated on this.
Lots of hugs

I feel you shouldn't get everyone else involved. This will probably just make her mad. And she doesn't need that either. I don't know her situation. Maybe she's going through some things and you could make her situation worse by having everyone pile on her.

Thanks Silver. (& everyone else as well)

There are just 2 little problems with that:

1. If I don't say something then my family will anyways
2. It is nearly impossible to get away from this girl

She is in a good portion of my classes, she's with my other friend alot, heack, her locker is right next to mine. We go to school so small that our whole highschool can fit in our gym bleachers with ease! (Only 60-80 kids per class) so it's not exactly like I can just turn invisable in swarms of other kids easily either.

[Typo]

Maybe your parents should say something..if it would make this girl in her place..
Just makes us mad..makes Pip want to bite the mean girl...
We hope things work out, that this girl hurts you no more...
Hugs froms us
Silver and Pip
