Well, it all starts at the beginning of my school year. I met this guy name Raymond Gallo. At first I thought he was some nerd, and I hated him at first. Yet, we had every class together and we mostly sat next to each other {because of seating charts}. Well, after a while we became really good friends, but he had another best friend too. Madalyn Lefiert. Madalyn and I quickly became very, very good friends. We always hugged each other, hung out a lot, she lets me touch her hair {Which is special, 'cause she hates when people touch her hair} and a lot of other stuff.

Well, We had a field trip. To a water park. During the field trip I hung out with another friend, Michelle bukkeghyi while Raymond and Madalyn went to the slides. After the field trip on the way back to school on the bus, Raymond tells me that Madalyn said "I don't want {MY NAME} to be in my classes next year because she's really annoying and weird." At first I didn't believe Raymond 'cause he has a thing for lying to your face about stupid things, but Raymond kept swearing up-and-down that Madalyn said that. Madalyn sat across from us, so I confronted her. She also swore up-and-down that she said no such thing.

Once we got to school, we had 4th period. Raymond kept telling Madalyn to tell the truth. She refused. Once the period was almost over, She FINALLY admitted that she said that and kept trying to apologize. I didn't take that shit and ignored her.

Am I doing something wrong?
Should I forgive her because she still wishes to be my friend and we ALWAYS hung out? Or should I ditch her? Why or why not?

P.S. Sorry for the long read.

Sounds like they aren't true friends, Especially Madalyn as she spoke about you negatively behind your back.
Still communicate with her, but try and talk to her about how you feel and ask her such things as why she said this, and see if you can come to a compromise to a point where both you and her wil get along.
Even give her some space then attempt to talk to her.
You have done nothing wrong by doing this, as she was the one that made the statement, and you simply reacted in a way that most would in that situation.
Forgive her over time. If she realises where she has gone wrong and is truly sorry she will come back and be nice to you and hopefully not make a statement like this again.

I think this thread would be a bit better suited for the Life Issues forum.

Anyway-- I'd stay away from Madalyn for a bit and see how things unfold. Sometimes people just say shit, even if they don't mean it. But if she talks more crap about you behind your back, then you should drop her. I wouldn't totally discredit her as a friend just yet, but keep an eye on her for suspiciously unfriendly behavior.

Fabby is on point about this belonging in Life Issues, so I'm gonna give the topic a little nudge in that direction.

I'm careful for who I call friends. I have two people that I talk to; and they're the same two people I've known since second grade.

You should watch yourself and only pick TRUE friends, but to be honest. I think true friends are nearly in extinction anymore. I mean, I have nerdy friends. By the way, is there something wrong with nerds?

As I was saying; I have nerdy friends because those people are the people I feel I can trust. But, I'm going onto my senior year next year, and my best friend and I were at each others house EVERY day. On the weekends, and on summer. Everyday.

But now were splitting up; I can feel it. He has been getting anger issues among anything. He's been hanging out with the wrong group of people.

So you're not the only one hun. You're not doing anything wrong.
Friends can just suck sometimes. *Shrug* It's life I guess

I've found that people deserve a second chance. But beyond that, no. I had a friend, Caleb Sexton, who went out with my ex. Every single thing I didn't want her to know, including my sexual orientation, he told her. Not to mention everyone. He kept trying to apologize over and over, and after awhile I got sick of it.

I wish I could say I ended it maturely, but I punched him in the face. <.<

Sometimes you have to be carefull on who to trust. It sucks but most people aren't very good friends.
I was 'friends' with this one girl a year or two ago and all she did was talk about me when I wasn't around. When I found out I confronted her and she said sorry. But I ignored her after that. But yeah it's hard to find true friends.

They don't sound like true friends, maybe Raymond but you said he sometimes lies straight to peoples faces, then this Madalyn girl talked about ditching you with Raymond behind your back. Friends who talk behind peoples backs aren't true friends at all, and I recently had to leave about 7 friends because they were dividing into factions and slurring me, spreading rumors, for no reason other than I wasn't on either side. If someone is going to talk about you behind your back (or tease you, hit you) once, they will do it again. (Learned about the teasing and hitting with a friend I'd had since 1st grade and left in 9th). And it seems like Raymond may have participated and you might not be getting the full story. Raymond and Madalyn were friends with each other before they were friends with you, so if Madalyn ditches you (or visa versa), Raymond may be persuaded to leave you by Madalyn, or maybe they were both planning not to have classes with you next year, and Raymond just didn't let the part about him slip. Madalyn, you should definitely take out of your life, but you also need to get the entire story about Raymond, Raymond's part in this sounds like there was more to it, such as what provoked the topic, whether or not he said anything as well or influenced her even more to not want you around, and whether or not he feels the same way.

Long story short:
People who hurt you in any way once, will do it again, Madalyn is not a good or true friend, she probably only hung out with you because of Raymond and this special right with her hair may have just been tolerance. Raymond may or may not also feel this way, and it sounds like he knows more than he's told you so you need to talk to him about how he feels about your friendship, and what caused this to happen with Madalyn.

if I were you I guess I would still talk to her but not like a friend friend anymore...
then again i'm pretty friendless (shy and quiet you know) I melt whenever I have to talk to anyone.
... maybe she didn't mean it...
give her another chance .... everybody deserves a second chance...
... sorry if this doesn't help...

Some people aren't mature enough for a REAL friendship.
If she honestly thought you were annoying and didn't want classes with you, why not ignore her?

some people cant be trusted with that type of stuff, they cant simply handle it and truely you should find someone that can handle it. To be truthful you should seriously just find another person that you know you can trust.

thats horrible ;-; i hope you find better friends

@Vesta: It's harder than you think to make new friends as such the time of year. By that time, everybody already had their groups and friends, so I was kind of alone. Raymond actually never really understood me. I keep a lot of things away from him because he's the kind of {Loser} who doesn't understand nor care about anybody's feelings, so I can only relate to him with very small things. I wish he could learn to listen, but that's just how he is.

{I blocked out a potty word with 'loser.' XD}

Trust no one.

Maybe there is a misunderstanding between Madalyn and you... I think you should talk and give her the chance to explain. Maybe you can resolve the problem by doing that... just say it in a nice way! ^_^

If Madalyn doesn't generally like people touching her hair, maybe she actually doesn't like you touching her hair, but is too nice/scared to say so? Which would kind of make her justified in not wanting to stay too close to you, since you do know she doesn't like having her hair touched yet you do it anyway.

If you don't want to stay friends with her, that's entirely up to you. You're young, you'll make more friends.

But I talk about my friends with other friends all the time. We all know that we get talked about between friends, but we don't do it maliciously. So we don't care. But maybe we're different to most people this way.

Bravo to The Lady Who Knew. Listen to what she says about finding out the connections between Madalyn and Raymond, and trying to see what part Raymond has played in this as well. He's lying to you, too, by glazing over facts that might incriminate him.

I say have a good, long talk with both of them, separately, as they are bound to defend each other if together. Double-threats, from personal experience, are never a good thing. However, I wouldn't completely ditch them. Yet. The fact that you have doubts with both of them just says that maybe it's time to move on, but if they're truly willing to patch things up, then it's worth saving.

Does the good outweigh the bad?
