I was sitting in class and this girl kept flipping her hair in my face. sa pamamagitan ng this time it was November, and she'd been doing it since August.

I finally decided to tell her, "Please stop flipping your hair in my face," as politely as I could.

"Excuse me, well, I'm sorry, but I'm stretching, I can't just stop!"

"Um, you can stretch without flipping your hair," I said.

"No I can't," she said.

"Uh, yes you can."

"Well you didn't have to be so rude!"

"I wasn't rude,"

"Yes you were, wasn't she?"

"I sinabi please."

"No, you were totally rude."

I grew a tiny bit of back bone just then, I sinabi "Okay, sure, whatever you have to tell yourself." Then rolled my eyes and went back to work.

Was I rude? Or was she just overreacting?

And this other time, in sixth grade, a bunch of other kids and I walked in late to class, so our Math teacher told us to stand in the back of the room so she could write all of our names down.
Without being too rude or raising her voice, I might add.

But in sixth period, there was this kid complaining about what a asong babae she was, and how she demanded that we go to the back of the room just because we were a little late.

Please, he made it sound like she decided to ostricize us from our peers for the whole class and was cruel and unforgiving.

Do people just BECOME drama queens when they enter middle school?
