This person is not a friend because friends arent mean to you like that! But if you really do think this person is a friend, or want to have a friendship with this person then you have to tell him that friends treat friends better than that. So hey, lets still be friends, but lets also try to be nicer. When you get older this may make more sense, but think of it this way. You should surround yourself with people that bring you up…make you feel good about yourself and happy….not those who just bring you down.

But if this person is just a bully and you dont see a real friendship there then I would avoid him, and to avoid being bullied, punched, getting in fights, etc make sure you stay around other people…safety in numbers thing. Your bully is less likely to do something if there are tons of people around because I”m sure he doesnt want to get caught and get in trouble.

If anything does happen where he physically hurts you (like breaking your finger!) then remember this. You have to look out for yourself! And you’re not a tattle tale if you tell a parent or a teacher that someone hurt you. You dont deserve that, so dont let it be a secret that you feel you have to keep.

I hope this helps, and good luck.
