Hi there,
Thanks for writing to me about what’s going on with Chloe. It sounds like a really upsetting and confusing situation for you, so I’m glad you felt able to talk to me about it.
It sounds as though Chloe bullies you and says horrible things about you at times, but then is nice and asks you to play at other times, which has understandably left you not really wanting to be her friend. I think it’s great that you don’t want to hurt her feelings – you sound like a really caring person.
I wonder what you think might happen if next time Chloe asks you to play, you talked to her about how you feel when she bullies you and says mean things about you? I understand that it can be scary to tell people that they’ve upset you, but no one deserves to be bullied. The way Chloe behaves towards you isn’t right, and you have the right to tell her that she’s upset you and you don’t want to be friends with her.
It might also be worthwhile having a look at the Bullying section, which gives some support and ideas for people who are being bullied, and may be helpful for you.
Well done again for writing to me, and remember that you can contact ChildLine any time you want on freephone 0800 1111 or for a 1-2-1 online chat via the website.
Take care,
Sam
