My "friend" keeps insulting me?

Hi, my ex-best 'friend' keeps insulting me with just little nasty comments

For example, if the group of friends Im in ask to see my homework I'll show them. Beth will come up and say something like "you done THAT? Look at mine, thats what you SHOULD of done"

And today I said I wasn't too worried about the coming exam, (because Ive done all the revision I need to) and Beth said "oh my god Hannah, you need to write that in a book, you're always having panic attacks about exams"

If I get an A* in something and she comes lower she calls me a swot or something, but if she gets an A* and I get lower (which is left often, so i think she may have a touch of jealousy) she boasts and expects me to congratulate her!

These kind of comments definately dont hurt me by any means, it just annoys me that she always gets away with it, and thinks she can just insult me so much

Also shes the most popular person in the group, even though shes so nasty to me, so I dont want to turn people away from me, but what can I do/say?

Thanks very much, Hannah :(

    Insult her back then. -.-

    Don't just sit back and let her do that to you.

    Teach her a lesson.

    There's not much you can do. It sounds like she suffers from a huge case of insecurity, and you can't and should not try to fix her. Either that, or she just has a HUGE ego. Either way, try to ignore her. You can call her out, and if you're smarter than her, you will win. You will either cut that ego down, or make her feel more insecure and maybe make things worse, so you have to decide where she is on that spectrum. The best thing to do would to ignore her, and, if anything, stand up to her when she makes fun of you.

    she is getting away with this because you let her, i don't think if you defend yourself that you will lose friends, in fact i thing they will congratulate you. because you don't know how many of your so call friends don't really like her. you are suppose to take up for yourself and not let people run over you. if you do lose so call friends they weren't your friends in the first place. and maybe its time that you find new friends, because if she 's got them wrapped around her fingers you don't need them, or her as so call friends. ex best friend sounds good to me, if she is a ex friends then you can say whatever you want to her and not worry about hurting her feelings, because she is not worried about hurting your feelings. so speak up for yourself and stop letting her run over you.

    I went through the same thing. You should sit down with this girl and tell her she's being a jerk and you don't like it. Explain to her trashing your reputation to fit in with others is not OK, and real friends will care no matter what other people she hangs out with. It is possible. If it persists, tell her u wish to end the friendship and wish her luck.

    i had a best friend just like her, you should just get on with things, keep getting your A's, study etc. act like as if you dont care what she thinks or says and if she starts being like to me "your acting like a ***** to me" or whatever just say well your always tryna put me down, tell her all of the times shes done it to you, even better if its in front of your friends cause surely one of them have coped this too, the worst thing to do is let it effect you confidence or work, that's what i let happen to me and i regret it so much. its like i let her win. if you keep getting your A's and doing good at school, shes gonna get jealous of you and that's her prob. not yours! good luck and hope you get rid of her cause ppl like that are the biggest waste of time and can do alot of damage.

    Your question is kind of weird. I would just ignore what she says.

    Sounds like you are the more intelligent one. Be proud of that.

    I wouldn't say anything. Just keep doing what you are doing and get good grades!

    Don't let friends mess with that

    Well I can't exactly provide you with a comeback if I do not know what he/she is pronouncing, so just go "shut the **** up you slag" when ur so called mate says some thing. It would be better in the event you definitely put what he/she says to you, cause then i might be in a position to give you a appropriate comeback. And tbh most of the insults here are quite sh*t, use em and you'll be able to sound like the sort of ****.

    there wil be always that sort of person every where you go. She will become less and less popular, and eventually you won't have to worry about her

    Say "Beth - you're a complete knob-end, do you know that?" and leave it there.
