Thoughts.com Blogs - Friends or Not

It is amazing to me how people can say the most rudest and hurtful things to their friends and automatically think that an I'm Sorry will make everything better. I've had one of those moments recently. I was trying to do what was best for the integrity of our school newspaper because I am the editor-in-chief. A couple of my staff members started yelling at me and saying the most hurtful things. When we had finished whatever it was that we were doing I went to the bathroom and just broke down. None of what they said was true and I was trying to do the right thing and they pretty much just ganged up on me. Hey let's bash the editor for not putting our story in this issue. I even took my own story out of this issue because we were running out of room but apparently that doesn't matter either. I've seen the other side of these people who were supposed to be my friends. I have come to the conclusion that friends don't talk to their other friends that way. I am willing to salvage the working relationship for the sake of the paper for the next month but there is no way that I am going to be willing to salvage the friendship. It's not worth it. I have told myself that I have to put up with them for this next month and then I will never have to see them ever again. I know that sounds kind of harsh but that is the way that I feel. Does anyone have any advice? All of this stupid high school drama has me mentally and emotionally exhausted so I am going to try to relax before I have to face all of this tomorrow at school. Wish me luck!
