Should I be friends with him?

[Sterling26]

So there's this kid in my grade that I've known for like ten years now, but for the past six months I haven't said a word to him and have basically ignored his existence. i dont feel that he's been a good friend to me, as twice in the past he has publicly cursed off at me without any provocation, and about six months ago he tried to publicly humiliate me when we went out to lunch with some other friends. Is it worth being friends with him again because we're in the same friend group and its kinda awkward, or should i accept that we're better off apart?

Try to find out why he just randomly attacks you like that before you become a full fledged friend to him. To me it sounds like he's perhaps frustrated with something, just try to talk to him and find out whats going on. So that even if he does these things to you, you will understand why. good luck :)

well i kinda know why he did some of these things, it was just a really inappropriate reaction to the situation. like the first thing was when i took his driver's permit card off his desk at driver's ed cause i wanted to see wat his photo looked like, and he cursed off at me, calling me a fucking bitch and asshole repeatedly even after i apologized. second was we were playing nerf battle at a party (i know, AWESOME RIGHT) and when i snuck through the house to get to his group's base he called me a fucker and a prick and kept going, even though there was no rule about going through the house. im not sure why he wanted to humiliate me at lunch though, we were perfectly fine there, i did nothing wrong at all

hmm a lot of anger , still ask him maybe it has something to do with his home life.
haha nerf battles :3 they're fun XD

accept.!

he is not a good friend.
thats my strong annotate.

[Spook]

he sounds like he has some anger issues. I suggest you talk to him about it. :/

If you think it would be good for you and the rest of the group, you should give him a chance. Talk to him and try to see what's going on with him.
Does he have the same issues with your other friends?

[Sterling26]

no im the only one that he acts like this towards, as far as everyone else knows he's a nice but kind of quiet guy, he's kind of like the baby of the group since he's really little

Well, then you should do what I said on my previous comment. You should also ask him bluntly why does he does such things to you.
Good luck :)

Maybe its small man syndrome?

How are you seen to your group of friends? If your also a quiet one of them, then it could just be he thinks your the one he can have a go at in the group.

From what im guessing, cause u havnt really described it in great detail, it could be like my 2nd year in highschool.

One of the quiet guys in our group, short dude and always polite, would randomlly snap at me and go nuts.
Hes the only one i had a problem with, and altho it was nothing big, it was rude none the less.
After a while of this, the small bursts of anger and me not doing alot about it, and letting it go, slowly made them get worse, untill he tried to attack me, nothing serious.. but still it got physical.
Altho i delt to him, not hurting him considering he was a friend, i showed him im not to be messed with, and it cleared it all up, after that it didnt happen again.

If your situation is anything like that, and your the only one being snapped at, it might be cause he doesnt respect you as much as you respect him.
Altho it sounds a bit mean, next time he snaps you might need to put him in his place, not by being physical, but maybe giving it back as much as he does.
