Question

How do I learn my enemy weaknesses?

Community Answer

Watch them closely. See what they talk about, or maybe ask a friend to become 'friends' with the enemy to get personal information and their weaknesses. But do not be a bully or torment them. Play fair, be nice and ignore them.

Question

My enemy's friend is my friend. My enemy hates me, she wants to steal my friend away from me. What should I do?

Community Answer

Just try to stay close to your friend. Make sure you don't do anything to upset your friend. Don't try to spread rumours about your enemy, or badmouth her. This will only make the problem worse because you can't be sure your friend won't tell your enemy what you say. Your friend will realize what is happening and hopefully choose you.

Question

How do I stop my enemy from stealing my friends?

Community Answer

Tell your friends how much you need them and care about them. Tell them what they mean to you. If you feel them slipping away, remind them of good memories and help them when they need it.

Question

How do I defeat a friend who is not talking to me?

Community Answer

Well, to be honest, your best bet right now is to talk to your friend, or one of their other friends, and see what you did wrong, and perhaps apologize. Or, you could just completely ignore them and act like they were never a part of your life.

Question

I have many enemies that are all friends with each other. One of them calls me names, another one gives fake compliments, and others just flat-out bother me. Should I use a different plan for each one?

Community Answer

If they make you a victim, PLAY the victim and expose to everyone how cruel and unfair they are. People will think, why are they so mean to someone who didn't do anything to them? Make people feel sad for you, and think poorly about your enemies.

Question

A group of boys I used to be friends with bully me regularly, and when I say something to them, they bully me even more. I am not physically powerful, so I can't fight them. What should I do?

Community Answer

Have you spoken with an adult? Filing a complaint with the police is another option: an officer coming to speak with them might scare them into decency.

How can I avoid a fight with my enemy?

Linda Tan Siew Lan

Community Answer

Simply ignore them. If he or she wants to fight, ignore everything she said and do not respond. The person will likely get very embarrassed if you do that.

Question

How do I overcome problems after a fight?

Community Answer

Continually choose the higher road. Be kind, be humble, be willing to apologize when you know you've been in the wrong. Refuse to carry a grudge, and be ready to casually chat with or compliment your former "enemy". Also, understand that you can do all the right things and still find yourself at odds with someone if the other person isn't willing to meet you halfway.

My enemy is spreading lies about me. What should I do?

Tell your enemy to stop, and if they don't, tell your teacher or boss about it (yes, the person will be mad at you, but who cares?). Try to ignore and stay away from them as much as possible.

Ignore him/her! This is the best way to annoy the enemy so he quits with the pranks. If he doesn't get a rise out of you, then he eventually should give up.

Rub your victory in his face. Always remind him that you are on top for a reason, and that he did something to bring his fate upon himself. Turn his friends against him, so nobody will be there to help him up.
