so I have this'best friend', and she always gets picked on at school by some of the boys. I always stick up for her as a good friend, I would call them out and say something to them so that she realises that I'm trying to be a good friend. I am a mixed race person, so I get judged on my skin colour quite often. I usually don't take offence to this. one day, an old friend starting talking shit on me, being racist towards me, nasty nasty words were used. I was upset, crying and felt alone. I hit up my best friend asking if she could please do something or at least help me out. Then she said 'look I get we are best friends but I can't do your dirty shit work and ruin my friendship with some girl if you cannot take any pain.' I was hurt. Very hurt. I remembered all the times I've lost friends over her and how I look as a person to stick up for someone I care about. To this day, she thinks nothing of it. Its always on MY mind, and I haven't dare to say anything to anyone. I needed her when I was at my lowest peak, and all she could care about is a friendship that doesn't exist with that girl.
