"I'm too old for this"

Shouldn't people hiding your stuff finish when you leave school?

I'm actually really upset about this in a confusing yet l;ocking my self away on the toilet and sobbing way, so any immanture remarks are best kept to yourself.

Part of my work is helping out one of the girls I work with called Afroditi to isolate white blood cells from whole blood. I go and collect a box which contains a syringe full of blood in it.

Today I brought the box into the lab and went to put on my lab coat. When I got back to the box there was no blood in it, so I assumed that the hospital had forgotten to put the syringe in.

Another girl from the lab then called me over to ask some advice about something else, when I got back from doing that I told Afroditi that there was no blood in the box, so she opened it up and there the blood was.

Know I feel so syupid, I feel like a complete idiot for making a fool of myself, and for getting set up, and asked for my advice, when the only reason was to get me out of the way.

Dramatic I know, but I wanted to be dead, then I wanted the people who had done it to be dead, and I think there is something wrong with me, because this is such a small thing and I've gone completely to pieces over it. I just needed to tell someone, and here is the only outlet I have right now.

Slap 'er, outside the lab though.

You think my friends ganging up to make an idiot of me is a laugh?

Really, though, is it such a big deal? I don't know if you're some sort of "protected" girl who's never been picked on before, but what happened is nothing. Absolutely nothing. It's your friends playing a trick on you for a joke. That's all. Nothing more, nothing less.

You just didn't take it the way they intended (I can't understand why)

Actually she is Greek, and she is absolutely stunning.

The thing that hurts is these are the people that are supposed to be my friends. If they were enemies, I would understand it, but they are people that I leaned on when I went through a bad time in the first half of last year. People I've shared my secrets with etc etc etc.

I guess I'm just feeling sorry for myself, but I don't care.

As in a different spelling of "aphrodite", the Greek goddess of love?

Bwhahahahahahaha. Is she a munter?

It's just somebody bored and trying to be funny and probably not realising how much it upset you.

Chin up and stop worrying about it.

What might seem like a casual prank to some, is a burden for others.

Be strong and ignore it.

Get a punch bag. Hit it a lot.

Always works for me.

I hope you don't take offence by this Rosalind, but I've had far worse things done to me in recent times. You have to take it on the chin, and accept the fact that some people do nasty things.

Be sure to express yourself, tell these cretins how much they are winding you up - I doubt they'll do it again. Storing vast quantities of rage deep down in your soul will eventually lead to disaster.

Ignore them. They are just being immature. We've all had jokes played on us at times, and some times it can be humiliating. Less reaction = less funny though.

Besides, you have the last laugh, her name is Afroditi.
