Getting her to stop crying.

There is a girl in my class who yesterday and before was teased and even bullied in class. Anyhow, and this is weird and strange. Today she was hiding before class crying in one of the cupboards in the school. I told her to come out, she refused and said there was no point, she does not have any friends and she will just be teased again in class. I said I would be her friend, she said 'do you promise?'. I said yes. After that she finally came out. I realize I have made a promise and should abide by that. Especially considering she is intending to study A levels at the same place I will be. I do not know if she is intending to go to the same university as me though. Anyhow now that I have made a promise to her, what should I do to fulfil said promise?

:console: Aww. That's nice.
For one thing you should realise that you have just made a huge mistake.

You have in essence made a promise to an extremely damaged person who at a few kind words is now assuming that you are her only friend. .

Now it may be that she is a lovely person and you two will get on famously and be besties foreversies.

Though i more think your in for an edward cullen stalker type of friend who is going to be hugely dependent on you
You would be "her friend who teaches her how to become an independent person", not "her emotional parent". That's what she should understand.

lol leave it out.

OP, just hang out with her at lunch and break etc. Exchange phone numbers, and invite her to social events with your other friends etc.

Just try to include her :smile: Don't worry about what he said up there, if it becomes that you can deal with it.

just try and integrate her with your friends, invite her to sit with you lot in class and at lunch time and invite her when you socialize

it might be worth having a word with your friends about how you think you should try and hang out with her sometimes as you don't want to invite her to sit with you only to have your mates be horrible to her as well

That last sentence does not sound altogether too pleasant.

Ok, thank you.
what u did was very kind. its horrible be isolated and bullied. maybe you could feel better helping someone else feel better. perhaps it won't even feel like a burden in the end and you could have a good friendship.

Rep given.

This is a really kind action and will help her get her confidence back. Do you know who is doing the bullying?
