I wrote this long rant letter to Bro Jo. Looking for more advice
Dear Bro Jo,
I feel shallow writing this but its beginning to affect my relationship with other people. A girl from school got baptized last February. Shes not very liked at school...shes not liked at all. Everyone makes fun of her. She doesn't brush her hair, take showers or do anything resembling an ounce of effort for personal hygiene (And all of the YW have tried to help with this. Some have given her products while others have offered to have a spa day with her. Nothing works. Her response "I don't like showering. I don't like brushing my hair."
.
She started coming to church because she liked the social interaction.She liked being accepted. Since then she has this need to CLING to me at school. I don't mind saying "hi" and talking to her but she feels this need for acceptance so she yells in the hall " LIZ! I'm seeing you tonight right!!" trying to let everyone know we hang out. I don't mind that, I really don't. It's the fact she feels she needs to. I'll yell "yes, Kristen. Just like every Tuesday night." She joins every club I'm in. Tries to switch into every class I'm in.
If people I know make fun of her I stick up for her but honestly..she brings it upon herself. She's rude. She always has to get her way. She constantly tries to be the center of things. A lot of times she'll blurt out things like "I have to go meet with the bishop" (getting her temple recommend.) and its not something you announce to the room. And, I'll point that out trying to help her out. She doesn't care! She just doesn't. I gave her a lot of my clothes that I don't wear anymore. Her families poor and she wears a lot dingy t shirts from car races. I gave her all these clothes-they fit her great!...but she won't wear them. At all.
So, my friend Jake invited me on this Winter Retreat for his church. I'm going, it should be a lot of fun. My friend Stephanie (from church) is going as well. This girl after seeing that the two of us are going is also going. I'm afraid she'll ruin it like she ruins a lot of things. She makes it awkward for me. I just want to guy and hang with this guy I like but shes probably going to be clingy and rude. However, maybe while shes there I can convince her to take a shower in the cabin bathroom.......
She follows me around like a lost puppy. I can't do it anymore.
I'm at the point I wanna scream i don't need another pet or a copy cat.
She 'likes' EVERYTHING on Facebook that I do. I can't stand it. She actually goes on my pages and 'likes' what I like. It's not a coincidence.
I'm trying to be like Christ. I am, I try to say nice things and help her out. I offered to tutor her in a class. I'm trying..but I just can't do it anymore. I'm so done. No matter what I do she just says or does something so....just out of line and rude.
Sick and Tired!!
