Sometimes it is really hard to tell your friends that you dislike the way they treat you. You're afraid that things might get awkward after that.

Especially when it's you against a few of your friends.

When you feel that your friends are hurting you emotionally, don't be afraid to stand up against them.

You are well aware that they will not stop unless you do something. Give them the benefit of doubt that they had no idea they were hurting you.

If they do continue to hurt you, don't be afraid to end the friendship.

Talk to someone else you trust about the problem. It all depends on what you choose to do to solve the problem.

You deserve to be treated better.

"Do not be ashamed to stand up for yourself. Even if it took up a tremendous amount of courage. What matters is that you tried."
