Solution to the Conflict

Hi a big thanks to all you guys who dropped by to read or comment on my entry :D Your kind words of encouragement and useful suggestions are certainly very much appreciated by me. I think there is indeed true that "A problem shared is a problem halved." Haha so thanks to all you guys that i think my problem is now only a tiny fraction of what it used to weigh on my mind.

However back then i wasn't as mature(hmm can't say i am now still :p) so I was really rather upset and hurt to know that I was disliked by someone to this extent. I decided not to report this to the teachers as i feared it will only worsen the situation and also because i was afraid the teachers would tell my parents about this. I tried to avoid further conflict as best i could by keeping a low profile in class and by staying out of the girl's sight as much as i could. But luckily i was able to make friends with other friendly and kind people in the class who were in the same CCA as me. And i was really touched when they actually stood up for me when others were gossipping about me by pointing out how superstitious it was to believe in things like 'jinx". And indeed after the boys(who used to sit beside me) recovered and came back to class, fewer of my classmates treated me coldly as they could tell it was just a conicidence. I was on better terms with many of my classmates except for the girl and her gang. Unfortunately i never had the courage to ask the girl personally why she disliked me so much. I only heard from some friends that it was because the boy(my study partner) that my form teacher assigned to help me improve my mathematics was the boy that she had liked for a long time. My teacher's arrangement which was aimed to help me blend in with my class better ironically contributed indirectly to my really horrible experience...lol but of course i don't blame them or anything.

Looking back now, I really don't have any hard feelings towards any of the persons invovled because I know we were all young and ignorant then. I sincerely hope that nobody will ever have to go through such situation though. I also realized that we can't expect everyone to like us just like we cannot bring ourselves to like everyone. The key word is compromise. Also, "never do to others what you would not like them to do to you."
