Dear Paige Sprayberry:

You are welcome. I think the insults I knew about were bad enough, and now I read of more insults by the same “best friend”- all those insults, those “teasing” are wrong. They are wrong, because understandably, they hurt your feelings.

A true friend does NOT hurt a friend’s feelings.

If you told him that his “teasing” are hurting you (and this is why you don’t tease him, because you know it hurts), and he keeps teasing you, then he is definitely not a true friend.

You should not pay this price (being insulted/ teased/ disrespected), so to be in company, to not be alone.

Tell him very clearly to no longer call you these things, and write back his response, will you?
