writes:Quick question for you:Am I expecting too much in that I want my best friend to stick up for me?I'll explain a bit more. At school we are in a group of 7, but of that seven me and this girl both agree we are best friends, however one girl in the group hates me and is always picking on me. I stand my ground and defend my self, pesonaly I think shes pathetic and have no time for her but this is a almost constant stream of insults and snide comments and I just feel like at times it would be nice if my best friend could just stick up for me. I know I have to fight my own battles but I think ive proved I can do that! Is it fair for her to say she doesnt want to get involved? This is what she says when I talk to her about it. Im not asking her to fall out with anyone but a simple 'leave her alone' isnt gonna hurt anyone, and I believe this is why the mean girl feels she can get away with it. Its making my life miserable, when my best friend is being hurt im always by her side defending her, not overly, I realise she can fend for her self but im there to back her up but am I mistaken in thinking thats what a best friend is for? I just dont know anymore

 Well see i thought part of being a best friend is that you stick up for each other.
Im really lucky i have 4 best friends and we hang about with each other, we always stick up for each other.
Its fair enough that sometimes she may not want to get involved, but its noce to have someone to defend and back you up, so i see what you mean.
If i was you i would ask her if you is truly your best friend if you could stick up for sometimes as its hard to always defend yourself.
Good Luck!
Tell me how you get on.
