Warning: really bitter thoughts up ahead.
GAH, have I got a story for you folks today. I have a friend. Lets call her Clara. She is 14 years old, super talented for a 14 year old, and acts older than her age (not in a bad way). She goes to my theater and we are good friends. There is another girl who went to my theater. Let's call her Patrice. She is 17 years old. She now lives in New York City.
Last summer, Clara got a role that Patrice wanted. Patrice, being a drama queen, is not happy. Patrice is butthurt but doesn't do anything particulary bad aside from a few snarky comments. Later, Patrice moves from Texas to New York.
A few months pass, and Patrice, completely out of the blue, texts Clara paragraph after paragraph of bullcrap just dragging her across the ground. I don't have the full text message but it was at least three pages worth of crap (double spaced, size 11, Times New Roman). She talks about how Clara is fake, annoying, untalented, worthless, and undeserving of friends. She goes on to THREATEN TO TELL THE AUTHORITIES AT OUR COMMUNITY THEATER THAT CLARA IS HARASSING HER. At this point I'm like, "This girl is absolutely crazy and needs help." This 14 YEAR OLD GIRL gets bullied like I've never seen before. She is clearly very upset. My sister, being a shockingly wise girl. Helps Clara feel better, and aids in composing a response that does not retaliate too much but tells Patrice how she is wrong. Patrice then goes on her private Twitter, and posts the entire text conversation. Her caption called her a "petty @** b****" and called the response "weak" and praised herself for "not cussing once." She posts all of this believing that she is in the right and has done nothing wrong (keep in mind that literally no one else has problems with Clara). Clara heard about this tweet and is even more upset. My sister has a word with Patrice, but it otherwise is left alone as not to cause trouble. Clara blocks Patrice on all forms of social media. Guess what? She forgot to block Patrick's spam account on Instagram. Today, one of my friends posted one of those stupid "like this picture and I'll send you a name. You have to give a TBH about this person." Patrice likes the picture and guess who she gets? Clara. She says "backstabber, gets away with pretty much anything, praised wayyyy too much for being talented. I like their hair." Patrice also put the role that she didn't get (Kathy from Singing in the Rain) on her resume in New York City which is a boldface lie. If I had different morals, that girl would probably be dead. Anyway, sorry about this. I'm just super duper pissed.
