Well, she is mean, but I don't think she's a bully unless she's hurting you or your belongings.
I have a girl EXACTLY like this in my class. Sometimes she's ok, sometimes she's mean. I used to let her mean comments get to me and we'd get in a huge fight (not a physical fight!) and her mom would always end up calling my mom saying how I was bullying her little girl. Now I just ignore her meanness, and I am nice to her always, and we never get into fights.

It's actually pretty funny that the girl's mom said that I was "bullying" her little girl, because her "little girl" is 6 feet tall and I was only a little over four feet tall at the time!

DAncing doll, it sounds like she is a bit confused! A real friend wouldn't be mean sometimes just to show you up in front of other friends. I would agree with the being nice to her as much as you can: this can work in your favour! Also if she is a true friends why not try telling her that her recent change of attitude is hurting you and that you want to go back to being friends. Just make sure though that if it gets worse you need to tell an adult who knows you.

People who really belittle others are usually very insecure about themselves. Don't let this girl get to you! Be the better person and be who YOU ARE! You don't need material items to define who you are.

I really understand what you're going through. There are a couple of girls I know who do that- one day they'll be nice and say 'Oh, you're my best friend" and then the next time I see them they won't even speak. i"ve learned just to ignore them- I know when they're nice it won't last and I know that they most likely just don't like me and that's fine. I don't like having someoene be rude to me, but you get used to it after a while. My mom always says, it's their problem, not yours. They're insecure and unhappy in themselves and it's got nothing to do with you, except youre the one they chose to take it out on! Good luck and keep your chin up!

They might also have a problem going on at home and they're just taking their anger out on you.
But just don't take any notice of her rude comments and things will get better hopefully.

Dancerdoll here's a big hug from me. Its hard gorwing up honey. You'll meet people like her all through life best is to ignore it if you can and concentrate on your real friends. Talk to a grown up about it.

Sounds like a very insecure little girl to me! By making you look bad she thinks she makes herself look better. I see that a lot at school. People like that, who pull you down, are best left alone. Surround yourself with happy people!
