(And Jefferson and Adams made them anyways………….morons.)

Lol, yeah, I feel like political parties are just dividing the country. I mean, people at my school hate on anyone who has conservative opinions, and it’s just frustrating. Why can’t we all just set that aside for once.

Exactly. Toxicity is a no bueno.

I know how you feel. I'm very grunge, though, so if someone thinks they can cause trouble they'd better guess again. I guess the best thing you can do is let this girl work her way out of this phase she's going through.
As for that politics thing, well I'm moderate, and I know people who are extremely heavy into the Left and Right, but save for when I'm joking I would NEVER use political stance as an insult. I'm guessing you're pretty liberal, and I get it, you can come here. Most of us on notebook are either liberal or liberal-leaning moderates (like me), and we'll support your decisions.
And hey, if they're trying to take away your free will to vote, maybe tell them that that stands against everything that they're for as Conservatives, because for better or worse, Conservatives will always support freedom, no matter how bad it gets.

We love you Bec!
exactly. As a conservative myself, I will never attempt to intrude on someone’s free will to vote which ever way there conscience goes………
pushing political beliefs down someone’s throat is
never
OK. as a conservative, I am appalled to hear about this. They should be ashamed of themselves

Okay, so I guess I'll finally come here and talk about my problems. Everything's been going pretty okay for the most part lately, but today just kind of turned everything around.
First of all, there's this girl who's weaseling her way into all of my social groups. And I don't like her. I'm a very tolerant person most of the time, but she's so rude to everyone and has no filter, and my friends for the most part agree. She knows that she's a pain and an absolute jerk, but she makes no effort to do better. I don't want to waste my time and energy on such a toxic person. She makes it SO HARD to do social things because she intrudes on everything we do now. It's even worse because the rest of my friend group is super chill and no one wants to confront her, and of course, no one ever wants to have to tell anyone they're not wanted somewhere. The easy thing to do would obviously be to ignore her, right? But that doesn't work, because when you ignore her, she'll keep pestering you until you pay her attention. I knew it was a growing problem, but she got added to a group chat I'm in today, and she's now "befriending" other friends of mine. I'm all for kill 'em with kindness, but boy does she make it hard.
Next, I decided to come home from school this weekend, and I really hate being around my family aside from my dad. My mom's the type who nags all the time. She dotes on my brother too much, and he's horrible because of it. I try to be a good sister and have conversations with him sometimes, but usually he ignores me. My parents fight. It stresses me out a lot. It's been happening for over ten years. Those are the lingering stresses at home.
What sent me absolutely over the edge was something my mom said to me tonight. We have very opposite personalities to begin with (I'm a good bit more cynical.) She brought something up about some charity that's known to be inefficient and doesn't allocate money properly. I told her that and she got angry, asking me why I was talking like a liberal (which she uses as a literal insult??? And that makes me so mad), and who I'd been talking to or what I'd been reading. I asked her why she thought I had a single source for all of this, and she told me that I shouldn't believe everything I read, which makes her a total hypocrite, because all she watches is FOX news, and she believes every word of it, even though it, like other sources, is biased. Idk man. I kept my cool, but I'm still so angry. People who use political stances as insults are just… wrong. Also I'm an adult, and I'm more educated in current politics than she is, so she has no grounds to say those things. To make things worse, about two weeks ago, she and her parents literally SAT ME DOWN AND TOLD ME WHO TO VOTE FOR!!! I honestly don't care what her political stance is, as long as she doesn't interfere with my life by forcing things down my throat, but that line's been crossed.
Oh, and before that? She was talking about a transgender student at the school she works at, how he's too young to be doing all this (this is middle school, 8th grade I think) while also referring to him by the wrong pronouns. It just aggravates me. I have a few friends who are transgender too and have these same struggles of being misgendered, so idk, I just feel really frustrated and aggravated for all of the people who have to deal with this. It's not hard to refer to someone by proper pronouns and the name they choose.

I'm sorry that you have to go through that. If I could, I'd give that girl a piece of my mind!! As for your parents, I understand. I wish I could offer you advice, but I don't have any. Just remember not to change yourself for them.
