writes: A few weeks a go, an argument which started off pretty minor got out of hand by the means of "facebook" and i'm in a predicament now on what to do and could do with a push in the right direction.The basic story is:It started with prom dresses, and girls being girls things have been said, yet this one girl, who I didn't particually like in the first place decided not to just full on bitch about my dress, (fair enough, she doesn't like it; not that she's seen it) but also started to show people pictures of it when she knew I didn't want anyone to see it in the first place, which in my opinion isn't only sad and pathetic, but is also taking it a little too far. But it's not only me, she's done it to another girl too, but she's not manning up to her face about it all. Fair enough for her.So I left her a comment over facebook, asking if it was true, even though i was already pretty certain it was, but her mates, well, my supposed mates also started getting involved, but one of them started getting really personal with the insults and just basically taking the whole thing too far. And of course, I should of known, she denied it and turned it around on me. This was a few weeks ago, I was upset about the whole thing, but now everythings so arkward, not really for them seen as they're all in one group. We used to sit in lessons together and now everythings messed up. I know the whole thing is ridiculous (that's school girls for you) and in most peoples opinions not even worth the stress, but I could still do with it sorting out.So basically, now I have no clue what to do, do I just say to them "look this whole thing was pathetic and got taken too far, i'm over it if you are" even though she did get far too personal with things. Or do I just leave it? Act like I'm not bothered and just let the rest of the school year be a total dread? 'm in my last year but I'm staying on. This is so complicated and I've gone into far too much detail, so for anyone that has actually taken the time out to read through it thanks, and any advice is great.

It may behoove you to take option A. If the girl is receptive, problem solved.
If she continues to be a bitch, you tried to take the high road. Block her on facebook and go about your life without her in it.
