What should i do about my friends?

On valentines day i received a card saying that they love me, my smile brings a lighter shade to their day, their heart burns for me, and some other things like that. I was so happy when I read it,i couldnt stop smiing. It didnt say who it was from though. I was very surprised when I found it in my bag, unfortunately my friends saw me pull it out. I did not really want them to read it, but i figured that they would be bothering me all day about it if i didnt let them so i did. They didnt tease me about it or anything which was good. There is a girl that I really like and i had a feeling that she liked me too, so i was kind of hoping that it was from her. I was trying to figure out who wrote it so i asked around.

Turns out the card was fake and half of my "friends" were laughing at me behind my back. And what was worse still was that the girl that I liked was the actual one who made the fake card and came up with the joke. I didn't think she was so heartless.

They don't know that I know it was fake because I didnt get told until after school was finished.

This all happened a few hours ago and I don't know what to do when i get back to school tomorrow. This was apparently just a big joke to them, but I am so angry and confused right now as to why they did it. I've never had anyone tell me they love me, or anything like that. I'm just so angry and confused as to why my "closest friends" and the girl that I really liked decided it would be funny to fuck with my feelings and emotions. Am I over-reacting? What should I do?

    If they mention it, laugh along, otherwise pretend you've forgotten about it - that it's no big deal.

    I'm sure they didn't mean to hurt you as much as it did.

    It depends what sort of person you are to me that is cruel but ignore it cause they don't seem worth it, maybe it's made you realise that the girl you like isn't all she seems? Life is cruel so you just have to get on with it basically :/

    Love is a very delicate thing. It effects the mind, body, and soul.
    I'm sorry I'm soooo late on this reply I hope everything went ok. What they did was cruel and my heart goes out to you. But maybe this was something life threw at you to find out this girl was not the one.

  • OK so heres what happened when i went back to school the next day. I confronted my friends and made a big speech, telling them that I knew what they did and that what they did was low, etc. Most of my friends approached me later and apologised and so now i have forgiven them. After forgiving them though I discovered that the full plan was to keep writing letters to me and after a long time say that they wanted to meet me. Then they would be there waiting as a group and surprise me and laugh at me. When i heard this it felt like hitting a brick wall. I never would have thought anyone in their right mind would have done that. I've still stayed with my decision to forgive them, but I'm so glad that i found out before it got out of hand. Sorry for writing so much by the way.....

      I'm glad that the situation didn't escalate to that degree. It's great that they apologized and that you've forgiven them. Hopefully from this point forth when they plan jokes, it won't be to this extreme again.

    If this was intended solely as a joke, then you have every right to be upset. I don't think you are over-reacting. But there's another possibility you should consider. Perhaps she wanted to express those sentiments to you, but not take responsibility for them (it can be hard laying yourself on the line like that). She may have wanted to express true feelings but call it a joke so she herself wouldn't be ridiculed.

    She went to the effort of getting a card and writing it out. She either wanted your attention (and has gone a stupid way of getting it) or she really is just a nasty piece of work. Don't necessarily assume the worst. You could even use it as an opportunity to begin a conversation and discover her true feelings. Maybe give her small hints that you half-wished the card was real, and see if she bites. It might be the opportunity she's been waiting for.

    What your friends and that girl did was very cruel. It's okay to joke but not to that extreme. The thing I'd suggest you do is getting your friends and possibly that girl involved in a group conversation so that you guys can sort it all out. They need to know how you feel and that it's not funny.

    I'm pretty sure they didn't do it to intentionally be cruel. It was probably just a joke they did for laughs but just turned into something uglier in the process.

    If they're good friends and if they'll accept responsibility for their actions, forgive them. Even the best of friends can make mistakes and an important part of friendships is to learn from those mistakes and to grow together.

    As much as revenge sounds awesome for something like this, I think I agree with PapaGee- act like it didn't bother you, and if you act angry or hurt, then they'll win. If they end up admitting to you that what they did was fake, and they admit that they thought it was funny, then have some sort of neutral reaction, or act like it didn't bother you.

    They probably didn't realise how horrible that was. They probably saw it as a joke and thought you'd see it the same way. Maybe, I don't know them. Talk to them about it, let them know that you're not cool with it. But revenge never got anyone anywhere.

    What they did was cruel.
    Walk right up to the girl you like and tell her you love her, that it was the nicest thing anyone has ever said to you and that you want to make love with her tonight.
