same omfg! ? just ate cereal right now, but my stomach almost always hurts afterwards..
Yesterday morning, I completely spilled the truth tea out for one of my friends. Our group of friends had been talking about them behind their back, being critical of their grades in school, critical of their attendance when they would miss a day of school, and everyone in our group seemed to be okay with excluding her from everything, not invite them places, and roll their eyes when they would start to speak. This has been happening for 3 years now and I was getting tired of it, so I told this person everything. I didn't exclude myself from any of it because yeah, I did go along with some of the stuff everyone else was doing. But I apologized. Later yesterday evening, everyone else in our group of friends finds out that someone told this person all of our dirty little secrets and instead of going to this person and apologizing, their first reaction was to form a witch hunt and figure out who told this person everything (hint: me). I'm being yelled at and blamed for all of this, I've been told I had no right to tell this person everything like I did without permission from everyone else in the group. I've been blocked left and right.
Am I in the wrong here? I certainly don't feel bad about what I did. I don't think I need to seek permission from the bullies to tell someone that they're being bullied. I just wish everyone would stop blaming me when it was our fault as a group!! And I wish people would stop yelling and coming for me when all I did was tell the truth. They aren't even trying to see why I did this.

idk if u wanted replies but honestly i think you are the only person who did the right thing..., maybe it would have been better for the bullied friend to not find out like that but idk. at least you have definitely not done anything wrong to the group of friends by telling the other friend about your bullying. you and they have to apologize to the friend, not do what the group is doing ):<
This other person already felt like they were in the group, but not really. I'd get texts from them wondering why no one was talking to them until they wanted to invite them somewhere out of the blue bc everyone was feeling guilty for excluding her, then they'd go somewhere with her and be like "yikes,,,, so back to ignoring them!!" idk I just felt like it was better for them to know like this bc everyone had been hiding it for years and they're about to leave for college so everyone was planning on leaving the impression upon this person that they were friends when in reality none of us were v good friends.
