my friends don’t like her.What should I do?
There’s this girl at my school my friends don’t like. When they pick on her, I want to tell them to leave her alone. What should I do?
answer: There may be a way to stick up for this girl and keep your friends too. The key is to be low-key. Don’t attack your friends for being cruel—or cop a self-righteous attitude. If your friends make fun of her,
simply say something like, “She’s doing the best she can,” or point out something you like about her. Let your friends see you talking with her. Such subtle gestures should make your friends realize that they’re being unfair and unkind. If not, you may need to find some friends who are more compassionate.
