There is this boy in my class at school, his name is Jordan and i really like him. I'm not asking about dating or anything but i just like him but the problem is there is this girl in my form class who i don't get on with because she just acts all that to get Jordans attention. She not even really pretty but she just thinks she is and dresses like you wouldn't believe if i told you. I don't care about what she does but its just that she knows i like him and she does things all the time that bug me in front of Jordan. I wish i could hide it on my face but i can't and i get raging mad about it inside even when i'm trying just to do my work. Mum says to ignore her and try and be friendly towards her and i have tried but how can you do that when you are revolted by someone so much?Its waisted on her anyway because she really don't like me either.

My suggestion is to apologize for anything you have done that is wrong. Best to pray and ask God to help you with that. Then, do not expect an apology back from her, but do what the bible says for this situation..

Rom 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Rom 12:20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Rom 12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Being friendly does not mean you are excusing her bad behavior, but it may cause her to become sorry for the way she is treating you as well.

Oh, btw, it isn't worth it to fight over a boy. Even though it is hard, just try to be friends with everyone leaving the competition of impressing him out of it.
 
Yea thats pretty much what mum said as well. I don't even mind being friends with her if she would just can it with her face.thnx michelle

Grace, the advice to apologize to this girl is good advice, but its not the first step. The first step is to decide to love her (regardless of what your emotions are telling you). This first step will be difficult because it will take time and lots of persistence. If you persist in this effort, the time will come when your attitude toward her softens because you'll understand that God loves her too; reconciliation won't be possible until then.

I don't car anymore about Jordan, he's a fake even if he looks so good she can have him alwayz. I talked to him about his facebook page and we chatted a bit then he asked me swiiming and i said i didn't want to go swimming but we could go see a movie and he seemed tickd. Then later when he was with his mates he just ignored me when i went to talk to him and they all laughed. So i don't think it will bother me any more because he might look like Justin Bieber but thats all hes got is his looks.
 
[h=2]If[/h] If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;
If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!

Our psychology is one that reacts, no matter how exaggerated the claim is, according to how we believe we have been treated by others. It is highly probable that she is intimidated by you, and feels that you inadvertently stand between her and her desires. She may or may not be aware that she is doing this to vindicate a perceived transgression against her ego. As a Christian we are asked that in respect to the example of Christ, by whom we are saved by grace (receiving that which we are not worthy of), to react according to how God has treated us (thus to follow Christ in ministering the gospel of Grace in word and in deed after His example), rather than avenging and vindicating ourselves. For the problem with revenge and recompense is you can only exercise this right if you are perfect by the law (for Christ warns, "as you have judged so shall you be judged"), but we are saved by Grace and should bear fruit according to what God has bestowed upon us rather than trying to avenge ourselves, which "resists not evil."

"If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory....(Keep reading yourself; Col Chap 3).

For the contrast is surely not of Christ. "He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes...For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? ...If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also." (Various verses of 1 John)
 
Grace,

Maybe rather that further agitate the situation. Pray for them. I have found that when I pray for those that hurt me it gives God an open door to work in their life and mine as well.
