Don’t want to generalise, but in my experience friends who have been bullied in the past aren’t domineering in friendships ? They don’t wanna hurt people like they were, and they’re more accommodating. I’ve yet to encounter someone like gabby who was bullied and didn’t have friends then goes to bed leaving there friends stranded cos they’re late LOL, it’s always her way or the highway
You’re right completely forgot about the personality of the person ! Some people are just terrible people. I also recall a person saying that Gabby wasn’t bullied but would choose to have no friends and sit alone and be rude at college (on this site or YTT) obviously not a reliable source but i wouldn’t be surprised if it was like that. Shame none of her school mates care enough to comment on herI've seen the opposite. I befriended a girl who was bullied really badly, really really badly, by practically the whole school year.
Her bullying started off completely unprovoked but the few people who got to know her and tried to be her friend, ended up being her enemies too because she just wasn't a nice person.
And it wasn't much of a defence mechanism because this would be maybe halfway into year 7, going into year 8 so early enough for things to turn around. But she'd be nasty to people who had never done wrong against her or others. It was just her personality and it got much worse by year 11, which by then was more justifiable because it was years of bullying.
She acted like the queen bee of her small and dwindling friendship group, was rude to me on multiple occasions and actually teased some of her other friends.
It can go both ways tbh and I wouldn't be surprised if Gabby was similar to the girl I knew.
Hey gabs. You know what’s good for the immune system to help infections & your body to heal VITAMINS. Stop demanding the spaghetti hoops on pasta monstrosity & eat some greens you tit.I can’t with this girl...
I’m in the medical profession and I’ve seen hundreds if not thousands of laparoscopy scars. The umbilical wound is prone to infection but can be easily avoided by just keeping the area clean! So I’m not surprised hers has got infected lol. It’s not exactly the end of the world though, it’s just a superficial wound infection. Certainly no reason to go “back to bed”. She’s so lazy and self entitled!
Sorry but regardless of who she is, teachers know exactly what’s going on & often don’t act on it (especially if the student being ‘bullied’ is not likeable, as I’m guessing Gabs wasn’t bc she’s a dick). I was bullied for my weight in school as she probs was an I was embarrassed to tell anyone because I thought everyone thought the same about how I was fat etc it’s a complex thing mentally. But what I will say about her is she’s a grown woman like why she she dwelling on this stuff, she needs to get therapy and let go
Oh I 100% agree that sometimes schools do know what's going on, and don't act on it. I went through it myself for 8+ years. I just know of people growing up who were also bullied by people outside of the school premises and classes and a lot of teachers didn't realise until way later.Sorry but regardless of who she is, teachers know exactly what’s going on & often don’t act on it (especially if the student being ‘bullied’ is not likeable, as I’m guessing Gabs wasn’t bc she’s a dick).

Given that Gabby seems to expect people to just silently, magically know what's wrong with her or why she's upset (just one example here - not telling Hobbie she's annoyed he didn't text her happy birthday) I can totally believe she just sat in the loos singing like a weirdo and didn't tell the school to be honest! She seems to expect everyone around her to be mindreaders.As a teacher, this is absolutely untrue. I’ve had several cases of bullying reported to me that I’ve had no idea were occurring. We teach hundreds of kids and can’t possibly know what is going on in the lives of each of them.
Is she not practising basic hygiene, this is the woman who has had plenty of operations and needs no advice from othersWhat “cut” has she got that’s infected??
Is she talking about her surgery incision? Wouldn’t really call that a cut
I can’t with this girl...

Maybe going back and forth to the fridge? Or maybe she got some lasagne bath water or ham juice in it, poor girlMy lap cut got infected and I’m really anal about hygiene, to be honest it’s in an annoying place where clothes sit on it so if you’re up and about (like I was) it gets rubbed a lot. Given she’s basically been laying down constantly since hers, I really don’t know how she got an infection
It's infected because she doesn't bleeping wash, the dirty witch.I can’t with this girl...

I was thinking she must have dropped pasta down itShe probably dropped crumbs in it and it got infected. Scruff.
Apologies for the sweeping generalisation there, I should of said in my school the teachers knew and chose not to bother acting on it.As a teacher, this is absolutely untrue. I’ve had several cases of bullying reported to me that I’ve had no idea were occurring. We teach hundreds of kids and can’t possibly know what is going on in the lives of each of them.
Completely agree with your last point though, if you’re still affected by what happened at school 10+ later, you need therapy.
