I don't know if this actually belongs here so correct me if I'm wrong, but I figured who else knows more about people then S&A, right?

***back story***

So yesterday as I'm cleaning out my room I find this italian bag I haven't seen in 2 years when my door rings and my friends ask if I want to go out to lunch. Without thinking I grabbed the bag I'd just found and shoved my phone and wallet in it.

We arrive at the restaurant and the guy I was "kind of" seeing offers to pay for me, and because I wasn't hungry I told him to order for me. He ends up ordering the worst possible thing (a huge ass steak) and I end up not touching it cause I'd rather die than fit a giant slab of meat into my stomache.

After everyone finished, they ended up going out to the verandah for a smoke so I stayed behind with my friend Emma's little sister. We're sitting there when suddenly she starts talking about how I'm so skinny and she's been throwing up and trying to be just like me because she hates the way she looks (there's been this thing at my school over the past couple of years where I was accused of anorexia, but my parents and my best friend know better) Anyway, I was offended that she assumed I was ana and started yelling at her for being so vain when my friends come back and end up hearing everything. I told her older sister she was bulimic and (just my luck) in the heat of things, my bag gets knocked over and some really old diet pills get knocked out. So then everyone starts accusing me of crap which was completely untrue and I'm suddenly a "bad role model" and a "hypocrite".

***Issue***

Apparently, now I'm a liar and everyone suddenly expects an apology, but I just don't think any of this is my fault to be honest. Anyways, I need to apologise nonetheless cause I've kind of split everyone apart, I need advice!

Garsh! I don't know other than that yellin' a some poor image conscious girlkins hardly seems likely to help her feel good about herself? 'Specially one who apparently looks up to you as example of Ideal Girlishness?

Might be more apropo to have a few idears from Science to slip her?

Eg. Apparently girls who eat yogurt tend to stay thin? Those who eat cereal for breakfast? Tend to stay thin.

People who walk regularly? Stay thin.

Easy stuff. If it don't work? It don't take much time or money...

Girls who get yelled at? Might need to eat humongous ice cream...

Well, I didn't yell at her intentionally but I guess my emotions got the better of me. I just can't stand people who act like retards when it comes to the way they look.

Better to send Ms Lazy Girl to her room to fantasize she's Kylie/Britney/Madonna gettin' ready for her World Tour? How she wants to warm up before she goes to rehersal?

So, she dances/works out for a couple of hours so she won't look too dumb to the crew/dancers at the 6 hr Rehersal...

Makes more sense than lying on her bed with her headphones on looking a posters on her wall & wondering if she should barf/take laxatives? For two hrs, only twitchin' her foot? Why should a schoolygirl expect a free ride to slimness if a woman like Madonna who's three times her age? Could kick her ass with one hand behind her back?

It's a bad situation to be in without that shit happening... Sounds to me, like, though, you need to ask yourself how good of friends are these people.

Sounds to me like they're a bunch of assholes that were trying to find some reason to bring you down. You aren't using those diet pills, they're just from a time long ago. But though, as people will do, they'd rather run with the lies than to listen to the truth.

So, I'd suggest you take some time to understand what a real friend is, and who's just there for the sunshine and smiles. While you most likely weren't the nicest to the little girl, you were telling her what she needed to hear. Women, all of the time, see skinny girls and think about how much they want to be like them. Enough so that they'll do such stupid things as make themselves puke up their food... How strange and disgusting.

But yeah, best of luck sugar bum. And don't let them get to you.
