<p>I was in English class, and this girl sitting across from me has a Gucci bag. I didn't care that it was a fake its just a bag. So this snobby girl behind her taps and asks "How much did you pay for that bag?" and the girl shyly replies "$80". So I'm looking at the girl, and thinking who cares we all know its not real get on with life. She goes again and asks "So, like, where did you get it?" and the girl replies "At the, umm, gucci store, it was on sale", to my surprise she and her friends all laugh at her and make crude comments on how poor she is and how they will never wear a fake, blah, blah, blah. I'm sitting there like ***! and thinking of something to say to defend the girl, but I didn't want to get involved with any problems, so i ignored it. But, I now wished I said something, that wasn't right what they did, what would you have done?</p>
<p>Yes, you should have defended her. That’s ****ed up how they treated her.</p>
<p>Knowing me, I would have said something about them being spoiled rich brats that know nothing about the real world, have corrupt senses of entitlement, and were prone to being killed by revolution any day the poor chose to rise.</p>
<p>But you could have at least called them *******s and told them to back off. Throwing something in about colossal wastes of money, spoiled children, and laughable corporate sensibilities could also help.</p>
<p>You definitely should have said something. If students continue to comment about it, you most certainly should. Yes, this kind of stuff makes me mad.</p>
<p>Edit: I don’t believe I’ve made a post before with this many censor asterisks.</p>
<p>Edit2: *******s</p>
<p>Knowing these girls they will make a snarky remark tomorrow in class. I will def say something, and I know others will join in. People have had it with them, its our last few weeks together and they still have the “freshmen mean girl” mentality.</p>
<p>^^Lol at Edit2.</p>
<p>Absolutely. They were total *****es, and deserve to be slapped. With your pimp hand.</p>
<p>A great thing to do would be to go up to the girl tomorrow, and tell her what **<strong><em>es the other girls were being. Apologize for not saying anything today, and tell her that she’s way less *</em></strong><em>y than those other *</em>***es.</p>
<p>Edit:My asterisks pwned Billy’s</p>
<p>It’s probably a bad idea to bring up the subject. Let sleeping dogs lie.</p>
<p>
Question: How important is your disciplinary record to you?</p>
<p>Question2: Do you have access to either (a) expired chicken incubators or (b) thousands of cloth-eating moths?</p>
<p>If it comes up again, just say something to get them to stop, like “It’s just a bag and that was really mean of you to say, so **** off!” Jk about the last part, but yeah just tell them to leave her alone.</p>
<p>Just telling them to leave her alone won’t do much. He needs to explain, with great time and detail, just how much each and every one of them is terrible terrible people.</p>
<p>Edit: **** ***** *** ** * **** **** **<strong><em> </em></strong> *** <em> </em> **********.</p>

<p>Engaging the mean girls in a verbal battle is pointless. You’ll never manage to make them feel guilty or even a little bit bad. You can tell them they’re out of line if you want, but I think it’s even better to take positive actions to show that you value the shy girl. Talk to her in the few minutes before or after class. Invite her to sit with your crew at lunch. Send her a funny text. And then DON’T do the same thing for the mean girls.</p>
<p>aw poor girl. </p>
<p>I probably would have said something. I’m one of those extremely verbal people who just say what’s on their mind. Sometimes it’s good, other times not so much, but here I’d definitely have told them off.</p>
<p>New plan: water gun.</p>
<p>Fill it with bleach</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This is good</p>
<p>Assuming the *****es would care if the OP was nice to her.</p>
<p>It’s not about the mean girls. Don’t put on a show for their benefit - they’ll expect it and they revel in it. It’s what keeps them at the top of the mean girl order.</p>
<p>Instead, make it about the shy girl. It doesn’t matter if the mean girls care that you are nice to her. Other people will see you being nice and it will mean something to them, and it will mean something to the shy girl as well.</p>
<p>Why does this even matter to you, it’s not like you know this person or stand to make any profit from helping them.</p>
<p>
This is true. And a good (albeit less flashy) plan.</p>
<p>But why is everyone assuming this girl is shy? She was only described as shy in a response to being “called out” for her purse. She might otherwise be normal.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not like it matters. The advice is still valid.</p>
<p>I know. Still, it occurred to me.</p>
<p>“Why does this even matter to you, it’s not like you know this person or stand to make any profit from helping them.”</p>
<p>Lol. What a dick. </p>
<p>Just be nice to the girl. Tell her she looks nice or something. And totally ignore the other girls. It will make her feel better and it won’t give the other girls anything to be nasty about. I can’t believe anyone would ever say something like that anyway. At my school, the girls shop at thrift stores and the cheaper you find something cute, the cooler you are.</p>
<p>@Kironide
I don’t really like this one. You’ve done it before and it’s still not very funny.</p>
<p>
This was much better. Far more creative and funny.</p>
