Tallgirl91 Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Hey so I'm a senior in high school and am graduating in 3 days. During school I played volleyball and eventually got a full ride to a division 1 school. I got a new coach this year and he really believed in me and was really supportive. This caused a lot of girls to think I was his favorite and it bothered one of my closest friend alot "Beth". Beth is obese... I'm not being mean but medically she is obese and because of this she doesn't move as fast on the court and didn't get much playing time as she did when she was slimmer. Beth was extremely bitter the whole time and I felt a lot of that projected on to me. She'd say things like " the coach is so obsessed with you " or " even when you make a mistake he still cheers for you" also she'd say " you're playing OKAY" when I would be the top scorer. When I got the scholarship she was like " did you just send highlights to make yourself look good? Or did you send actually game footage? What if you go there and completely suck?" And when I won the MVP award she maliciously said " do you feel special now?". I really have gotten bad vibes from her this year but the thing is she is so sneaky about it that the one time I confronted her she made me seem crazy. On top of that she is adamant about coming to down 6 hours to see me play and I think she just wants to be sneaky and see if I suck. I've already lost a lot of friends over time and I don't know if I should cut her off. Then again I'm no longer in high school so avoiding her would be obvious. What should I do?
bwasroy Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 You aren't in high school any longer. You'll lose touch with her. Why risk a confrontation and things blowing up in your face when you can just slip away?
BigTuna Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 God, she sounds awful! Don't let her weigh down on you anymore (no pun). She'll realise one day her bitterness drove your friendship away
carhill Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 What should I do? Enjoy your graduation and move on to the next step, college. It's normal to leave some or all of high school friends behind and make new ones in college, as this period is a time of both marked personal growth and change. This friend will do what she does. If she wants to travel six hours to watch you play volleyball, good on her. You do what you do. Good luck.
