    Hello,

    The other day some girls that were meant to be my friends have said some stuff about my diabetes. It's really upset me because one of the friends know how I feel about it. I'm not sure what to do because it's really hard to forgive them but what they said was horrible and they told a group of other people as well. Please let me know if you have been through this and any tips.

    Thank you in advance

    Meloncupcake xx

    I have had this too. I am 17 and been diagnosed 8 months just before moving away to college. I became really close with a girl who was my best friend. Then i had a slight rough patch and fell out. She started to be mean and ignore me. All i did was go and speak to her over message as I wasn't confident enough to speak in person. Just go and speak to her and try resolve things. Thats what i did and we are now friends again x

    Are you sure they are worth the bother?
    Do consider just how close you want to be to someone who can be so nasty.
    Next time they might decide to do something even worse, because they got away with it this time, and you valued them enough to try to win them back.
    Good people do not wear a mask of niceness, false ones do until they decide to take it off and show their true nature.
    If you mix with unpleasant people it gets more and more difficult to retain your own integrity. I learned that at about your age, and it was a very hard lesson - and they laughed at my distress. It is what people like them do.
