Q&A for How to Take Revenge on Your Enemies

Parents can be really aggravating at times, and it's understandable that you're feeling this way. Unfortunately, revenge doesn't make you look mature, and doesn't help you build credibility in your household. When you're feeling especially angry, give yourself the time and space to chill out by yourself so you can get a better perspective on the situation.

That sounds like a really frustrating situation! As tough as it may be, the best, most mature step to take is to not give your cousin any extra attention and to be the bigger person. As you both get older, you'll be a seasoned pro at dealing with difficult people, and she may learn that not every adult will automatically believe what she says.

That's a really difficult and hurtful situation to deal with. The fact that you're reaching out for a second opinion is already a great first step—taking time to reflect and separate yourself from the situation can be a helpful way to calm down and get some perspective. At the end of the day, remember that while you can't control another person's thoughts and actions, you can control your own. True friends will stick by you through both thick and thin, so try to lean on the people in your life who aren't buying the false rumors.

Take a couple days to think through what you are going to do. The best thing to do is to turn the other cheek or just forget about it. Breathe and rethink what you are planning to do and whether or not it is reasonable.

Sit her down and calmly explain the truth. But if you had a habit of lying to her, it's understandable that she wouldn't trust you.

You can make your friend think that you are better than the person who stole them by being extra nice to your friend.

Then do the same back. Don't give them any of your time or any space in your head. Forget about this "enemy" and move on with your life.

Don't try to get revenge on someone who has done nothing wrong. It's natural to not like someone, but you shouldn't punish them for the way you feel. Just avoid them as much as possible.

Ignore them and move on. They're probably just trying to get you upset and get attention from you. If you don't give it to them, they'll probably stop.

I would first talk to him. Find out what changed, why he's so mean. You never know, he might be right to be angry, if you did something you aren't even aware upset him. If so, apologize, then learn from it and avoid it in the future. But if not, confront him with it. After all, you're close friends. He should allow a conversation about it to take place; close friends owe each other at least that.

If you learn to forgive them, you will be in less pain. There is a famous quote that goes, "Resentment is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die." This means that you're only hurting yourself by holding onto your anger and sadness. If all else fails, consult a therapist, this is exactly the sort of thing they can help with.

Pull a face, a determined face, and say: "Oh wow, I am as sexy as a world famous popstar." And dance off in delight.

Friends help each other every time help is needed. Even if the last hundred times help was needed it was always you helping her and now she needs help, you still help her. That's what friends are for. And you don't get anything in return, no reward, no money, no claim, no nothing. Friends just help. But you can re-evaluate your friendship. It should be about fun times, adventures, spending quality time with someone you trust. If that balance is lost, you can point this out to her, or invite her to hang out, go out, go on an adventure, or simply end the friendship.

Be careful not to build up any more ice with her. It's likely she will start to gossip about you, and if she does, try to ignore it. Get on with your life as if she doesn't exist and make like she's not there whenever she comes near you. If she hassles you and tries to speak meanly around you, just walk away.

It's always better to not have enemies in the first place. And if you do have enemies, forget them, avoid them, end all interactions with them so you're back to having zero enemies. If it does come to a rivalry, and you absolutely can't avoid competing with one, you can either win or lose. If you win, be noble, don't gloat, don't add insult to injury, but be gallant, kind and forgiving. If you did your best and still lost, there's nothing left to do but accept the loss and move on.

Even though your enemy slapped you in the face, you shouldn't do it back because there are many consequences for physical abuse. Try ignoring her and eventually they'll leave you alone. If they don't, always find a trustworthy person to consult with. Meditation is also good to calm down as well as trying new things. But don't do it again, it makes you as bad as her and you'll get a nasty reputation.

If they have feelings for you, try to accept it and try to be polite. Being mean is not the way to approach someone you like, but liking someone is difficult, as well, and but being mean back is like fighting fire with fire.

Talk to your parents privately and tell them the truth. Give them examples of circumstances, particularly ones that she has manipulated to fit her story. If they don't believe you, then you need to remind them that you are the one they need to trust, not her.

Speak with your enemy and your friends and try working things out with your enemy. And if your friends are "true friends" they wouldn't turn against you just because someone else is telling them things. So just talk with your friends and if they are hearing rumors, tell them they are untrue.

A wise man once said, to get revenge you must gain the trust of the enemy. Once you are close, you pounce! Or, you can become friends with people close to them. If you steal a friend from an enemy, it really gets to them.

If someone committed a violent act against you, contact the police and press assault charges, or if you're a kid/teen, tell an adult. Don't retaliate with violence; two wrongs don't make a right.

Nothing will make your enemy more jealous than your success. Use their hostility and anger towards you as motivation to work harder at work, school, or the gym. Your academic, financial, and physical success will fill them with jealous anger, and you won't even have to do anything to them! What's more, you'll look and feel better, and you'll be more successful. Talk about a win!

The reality is that if you're succeeding at something, there will always be people who are jealous and want to see you fail. Instead of plotting ways to humiliate or get even with people who hate on you, let your haters be your motivators! Use their hostility as fuel for your fire to work harder and focus on your own goals. Your success will make them even more jealous, and you'll be too busy winning to care about what they think, say, or do.

Enemies at school are always a nightmare because you can't avoid seeing them. But you can control how you react to them. The easiest way to deal with them is to simply ignore them. Act like you can't even hear what they're saying until they lose interest or realize that they can't bother you. But if you want to get your hands dirty, you can always try a little revenge prank, such as getting them to eat a donut filled with mayonnaise instead of cream, or by placing a pack of bang snaps under the toilet seat before they go to the bathroom to scare the daylights out of them when they sit down to do their business.

If you don’t like the person back but they still talk about it, try talk to them in private and tell him that you found the comment insulting and have no interest in them whatsoever. Aiming to get revenge because someone likes you isn’t really a good idea. Other than that, if the guy still goes on talking about your chest, it is best to bring up the concerns with that guy.

The pain and anger will simply continue.
