    My friend used to hang out with this kid, Connor, and he was such a jerk to us. He was a kiss-up too. the teacher has a picture of him on her desk and it's been there since he left school. she thinks he's a good kid, but he's not.
    He Cusses at other kids and says really gross stuff and my friend never said anything. at all. he called me a ****** and made fun of my laugh. then he cussed at my other friend and called her fat. he makes fun of kids with "issues" and he's racist.
    My friend didn't care though. He told her it's just his way of having fun. My other friend and I tried to explain how terrible this kid treated us, but she said she didn't care, yet, I ME MEEEEEE I, stood up for her when he called her ugly. she turned rotten and didn't know it.
    Yes, she's change now, but do you think she made the right choice by hanging around him????? He was a bad influence on her.

    probubly, people have a nac for that. or its probably because your friend is easily deceived. either way connor sounds like a jerk who doesnt deserve social attention.

    My answer is no...she did not make the right choice...

    How did he become a Teacher's Pet anyway? Is he good at faking being good or something?

    Teachers can be so blind and unobservant sometimes...

    Anyway, the point is she did NOT make the right choice. Hanging out with the wrong crowd is never a good thing.

    You should tell your friend that and encourage her to never do it again. It's important that she knows who her real friends are.

    I say yes. She did make the right choice. She didn't give into peer pressure and followed her own vision, giving her at least a chance for a more hands-on experience and see things both way.
    Sometimes people don't follow the path you want them to. I'm not agreeing with how she changed, but it happens. They have an opinion of their own. Deal with it.

    People who do that kind of thing are often pretty shallow. If that's the type of person she wants to be to seem 'cool' because it worked for Conner, that's what she's going to do. In the end, the best thing you can do is write her off until she sees how she's acting and keep true to yourself. People change and sometimes it's just not in a good way. We all have to accept that and just know the person for who he/she is and let them be so we aren't dragged into their messes. I know it sucks to deal with but sadly, it's just the way it is and you'd do yourself better by finding friends who are more true to themselves and not insulting others just because it's fun and the 'in' thing to do. Shame on the teacher for not seeing what kind of kid Conner was, but maybe he had a side to him too that she noticed. I suppose in the end, even if your friend now, and Conner, were lame by mocking others, they must have some redeeming qualities that are recognized. Hopefully, your friend wakes up sometime before she gets out of school because real life will teach her how stupid she's being if school doesn't.

    I think that she didn't make the right choice but I guess you can't really do that much about it except try to tell her not to hang out with people like that. But you can't control her actions so if she wants to hang out with people like that it is her choice I guess.

    She did what she wanted to do, and that choice might have made her happy to an extent. That is the right choice, but what she is doing now is wrong. Try to steer her away from saying hurtful things, and let her know how you feel.

    i don't know how he became such a teacher's pet. He kisses up to all his teachers so they won't suspect that he's doing such cruel things.
    the people who say she made the right choice, i see your point. but others hung out with him,too. they were all jerks though. that's why I MEEEE thinks that she didn't. and it really wasn't peer pressure . it was just that he was real flirty with her. he was flirty with a bunch of girls and they all turned into jerks. it's like he wants everyone on his side.

    She didn't make the right choice by hanging out with him but she did make the right choice by leaving him.

    It is NEVER a good idea to hang out with the wrong crowd like I said.

    Because sometimes if someone gets with the wrong crowd it can change them for keeps which is something you do not want...

    Make sure that you talk to her and tell her that.

    And like I said before it's important that she knows who her real friends are.

    There are those who can be trusted and those who cannot.

    Some people will even try to deceive others into believing that they are their friends when really they are not. You should tell her that too.

    People like that make influences no matter what. Hopefully your friend will return to her normalself soon. It was a stupid desicion on her part.
