My first grudge


I am verging on 17, and have never ever ever held a grudge, or blanked someone. I think it's pointless. Havign gone to a girls school, of course I have been ignored, blanked, and had so many grudges held against me I have lost count. To me, it's important to tell someone that they have hurt or angered me, and then let it go. However, for the whole of my teenage life I have been plauged by the girl who is the English and non fictional embodiment of Regina George from Mean Girls. She's your friend one day, so that she can gain your accquaintances or some sort of benefit from beign nice to you, the next day she blanks you, and spreads all the dirt she can fabricate about you, or me shall we say. I like to think of myself as forgiving, i think life's too short. However, Regina (excellent code name I think) makes me feel physically sick. Her treatment of myself has no effect on me, I am used to it, her belittlement and bullying of everything I hold dear, yet clinging desperatley in times of noone else to talk to. What I cannot stand for is her constant bullying and bitching about people she does not have a clue about. Today I heard her say to the girl sat next to me 'I like your top, I was going to get it actually', then turn to the girl sat next to her, and audiably say 'That is the most hideous top I have ever ever seen.'. I can stand this type of petty behaviour from her, I'm cocky and up myself enough to bear it. However, for a less confident, shy, unsure of herself person like the girl today, this would be destroying. Just like when Regina chooses to point out people's physical defects, such as 'her arse is massive.' 'she has the most disgusting stretch marks'. So now, for the very first time in my life, I have refused to acknowledge an existence. Why waste my time on someone who will throw it back in my face and bitch about anything I did say to her? Emily, is rising above it. I am rising above the fact that she picks on weaker people, using their insecurities to feed her ego. I have never been one to let the poinions of people I don't care about sway me in any way. Which is just as well, because on a recent weekend at my dearest and oldest friend's house, she took great pleasure in ripping into a boy who is one of my best friends and once had a thing with me. Giving a reaction means she's won, so I say nothing in response to 'He's a hideous gay looking prick.' about someone she has never spoken to.
Rise.above.it.
And down with the Regina's of this world.
