Hi Janine,

You did a very good job describing how that new suitemate treated you because I could almost feel the hurt myself while reading it. This must have been very disappointing and difficult for you. If it were me, I’m not sure I’d be able to live in that environment. Thank goodness you had your own bedroom.

So this living situation you described, is this the suite you lived in last school year (fall 2018-spring 2019)?

What year of college are you in now?

Do you have any idea why this new suitemate would treat you this way? What do your instincts tell you?

Yes, I think it’s logical to conclude that the reason the other girl on campus (the one who’s the head of the club) was rude to you is because her best friend (the new suitemate) may have told her something about you. Obviously, you don’t know that for sure but it’s plausible.

What about the other girls in that suite? How did they treat you? Do you consider any of them your friends?

What’s your current living situation this school year? Are you living with any of the same girls you lived with in that earlier suite?

Sorry for all the questions. Last one: How did your peers treat you in elementary, middle, and high school?

Maybe we TB members can figure out why this is happening to you and then come up with some ideas on how to improve your situation. What do you think?
