My Ex friend lied about me forcing her to committ a crime.
The story
hiya! so basically i've known this person ,we'll call her Lauren I guess, for about three years now. we met during classes one day and we sort of just became friends, she wanted things I had (food, money, drinks etc.) and I wanted friends. so she convinced me to do all these things such as skipping classes, skipping meals, and other things of the like. she would tell me really sad things about herself (that I'm not even sure whether they're true anymore) and then i'd feel obligated to give her stuff, or comfort her. then she would get involved in my love life and things and ruin my relationships. she kept getting me to buy her stuff, and do stuff with her, then she blamed ME when we got caught. and so about four weeks ago, I skipped class and went downtown with her. and then when we went back to school, she was really distant and stuff. and then a friendly acquantance told me she'd went around talking shit about me after she got back. which pissed me off a little. so I messaged her that evening going
me: "heyy lauren! how was your day? yeah someone just told me you talked shit about me?"
her: "well one of my friends just pointed out we dont do good things together"
me: "you mean the things you reccomend?"
her: "well I reccomend we don't be friends anymore"
me: "no I mean you recommend and ask me to do all the things your friends are warning you about."
and so I blocked her and told her to fuck off. then the next day she went around and talked shit about me AGAIN.
and she started coming up to me asking me for shit. then one day i got called into the principals office and they said "do you know of any stealing from the gas station down the street?" so I was confused. and said I didn't know. then after the made me write down I had no idea anyone I knew was stealing. then Lauren said "oh yeah they have footage of me slipping a drink in your bag when you weren't looking. but I just said I was forced to do it." obviously I was very confused and a little pissed. because I wasn't aware she put the drink into my bag. and so then I heard from one of the teachers daughters that Lauren told them I forced her to do It. so I told the principal what Lauren had told me. and she got in a lot of trouble, and in even more trouble from the teacher for lying. so then she wasn't too happy about that, and gathered a group of people (her 'friends') to lie about me. but one of the people she asked to lie about me, told me what she was going to do, so I went and talked to a deputy principal. I told a few of my friends what had happened, and she said to anyone who would listen that I was a manipulative bitch, and started dead naming me, then said me "talking shit" about her was really getting to her. then she came into school the next day with a hangover. and started saying she had 30 shots because she was sad about me. then her friends started "Warning" my friends that IM the bitch who ruins everyone's lives. and then she still has the audacity to come up to me and talk to me.

oh jeez, that sounds like such a rollercoaster 🎢. i mean, having a "friend" like lauren must've been a real headache for you. been in sorta similar situations myself, where people just seem to drag you into their drama and then act like it's somehow your fault. you did mention some pretty questionable behavior there, like how she "convinced" you to skip classes and stuff; got me wondering how she pulls these shenanigans without getting major pushback? honestly, it really makes you question what kind of logic some folks operate under, doesn't it? maybe it's just me, but it almost feels like some people thrive on drama like it's their life fuel. kudos to you for standing up for yourself and taking it to the principal. sounds like you’ve got a better grip on handling these messy situations now. just be careful out there, ya know? seems like lauren has more tricks up her sleeve, and you wouldn't wanna get blindsided by more nonsense.
wow, this whole thing sounds like a mess. not saying you're wrong, but feels like some stuff is kinda one-sided. 🤔 maybe lauren had her reasons, even if they weren't cool. skipping classes and all, sounds like choices you made too. idk, seems like talking it out might have helped. sure, she did some shady stuff, like the gas station trip, but both of you made mistakes, right? just think maybe it takes two to tango in drama like this. hope things get better for you both, honestly. 🙌
hey, feel like there's more to this story than meets the eye. maybe lauren's actions were outta line, but also feels like you had a role too. once had a similar thing with a friend. we both made choices that weren't great, and it just took a chat to sorta clear the air. 🤷♂️ think communication and owning up to your part might help. hope things start looking up soon for you both.
sounds like you were dealing with a classic case of manipulation and deceit. it's unfortunate that "friend" of yours, lauren, exhibited manipulative behavior under the guise of friendship. such individuals often exploit vulnerability, making one compelled to engage in deleterious activities. remember, genuine relationships do not involve coercion or deceit. lauren's behavior seems indicative of someone who lacks integrity and accountability. associating with such a person is detrimental. that confrontation and subsequent reporting to the principal was the right course of action. be cautious of individuals employing duplicitous tactics. you deserve better.
hey, sounds like there's a lot packed into what happened with lauren, and honestly, feels like the whole thing could have been handled differently. gotta say, the idea that you were only in it for friends and she for your stuff seems a bit one-sided; maybe there's a part of the story where both of you might have contributed to things going south. for example, when she "convinced" you to skip classes, felt like a decision you both made rather than just her making you do it 🤷♀️; it's important to recognize how these negative dynamics can escalate if ignored. had some drama with a buddy before, and while it was messy, owning up helped mend things a bit. hope you find a way to move past this.
sounds like you went through a lot with lauren, and i honestly think it's tough dealing with someone like that. her behavior seems pretty manipulative, and it's never easy when a friend takes advantage of your kindness. i had a similar experience once, and it took me a while to see the red flags. trust is so crucial in friendships, and it seems like she broke that trust. i'm curious though, why did you keep giving her stuff when it seemed like the friendship was one-sided; did you feel like there was still hope for things to change? hope you find better friends who truly appreciate you.
i think it was how she just put herself into my life, she talked to everyone I knew and was always there unfortunately, she's done this thing where she befriends everyone you know so that when you finally stop being friends with her you have no one left.
man, this whole thing with lauren sounds like a soap opera. honestly, feels like there’s some personal responsibility missing in your story. you knew she was bad news but still chose to follow along with her schemes??? you said, “she convinced me to do all these things,” but it takes two to tango. like, come on, was she holding you hostage or something? i had a buddy who was kinda toxic too, but at some point, you gotta realize that you’re not a puppet on someone else’s strings. seriously though, didn’t you see the red flags when she kept blaming you for everything?!!! might wanna rethink who you’re hanging out with next time.
yes, I did see red flags!! but she is a very good manipulator and made it so she was involved in my life so much due to being in the same classes, same activities, being friends with all mine. that made it feel like I had to be friends with her or she'd take everything from me. and you'll never guess what happened when I did stop being friends with her
