Starting high school can bring changes in friendships and expose students to adult behaviors. A friend has shown toxic behavior; the individual has distanced themselves but struggles to confront her directly. Teachers have not been supportive, leading to frustration. Understanding that one's own feelings and responsibilities are separate from those of others is crucial. Acknowledging these interpersonal dynamics is vital in managing social relationships, especially when navigating changes at this transformative educational stage.
It's never too early to learn that while it's good to think compassionately about what's happening to others, ultimately they own their behaviour and you own yours.
Sometimes when people change, it's an opportunity for us to try out new friendships and move outside our comfort zones.
It's frustrating that the teachers don't seem to hear what you say, but they aren't always the best people to help you deal with the psychology of friendships.
Teachers may not have the time or bandwidth to focus on friendship dynamics, expecting you to work through issues independently.
