Bestfriend's a bully ?

[Mrs.KermitTheFrogx]

(bearing in mind i go to an all girls school so everythings bitchy+++ )
In science yesterday me Alex ,, Danny ,, Sarie ,, Jasmine and Frankiii where around a table and infront of us there is these two girls i think there called Karen and Jess (?) anyway our science teacher asked Alex a question which she got wrong so jess stuck her hand up (who is clearly in love with our teacher >.< ) and said 'Ignore her shes blonde ino the answer' so Alex got totally annoyed about it and threw a rubber , quite hard , at Jess's head. Jess turned round and called her a little slaggy sket. Class ended and me and my mates all walked to 5th period so then i heard a scream so i turned round and Alex grabbed Jess and pushed her up against the wall and muttered something i didnt quite her. I pulled her off her and told her to chill out and leave Jess the fuck alone. Jess just stood there and pulled a really childish face at her and walked off...
This morning Georgia , who alex walks home with , ran up to me and said Wheres Alex and whats she done to Jess ... ? I was like wtf ?! we walked to science and i saw Jess , she had a black eye and scratches all down her face , arms and legs , her face is battered and bruised ...
Im horrified .. but she has never done anything like this i dont no what to do ... Alex is never like this ... I hate that shes done that to Jess but im also scared for her shes been acting... 'diffrently' lately. We have been told to come forward with any information on who did this ... ino nobody will come forward or stand against Alex ... im her bestfriend and even im slightly scared of her... am i over reacting and do you think i should come forward ?

You are definately not over reacting this sounds pretty serious however I'm not sure if you should come forward as you put it just yet because it could be a complete coincidence I know it seems unlikely but it is possible. If I was you I would just straight out ask her if she did it. You say you're her best friend so I would hope you could tell if she was lying. If you think she is lying then you should probably tell someone your concerns, don't just point the finger explain about the lesson. If it was her then the school need to know. Hope this was of some help :)

You should come forward.
There is no excuse for bullying or treating people in that manner. Totally out of order. If she doesnt come forward and say she is being bullied physically as well as mentally, then you tell someone for her. Nobody should have to go through that no matter what the conditions are.

Honestly when I saw the title I thought to myself, "Oh look. Me." Seeing how I seem to be a rather bullish...Bully. But then I read it.
Obviously there is something possibly wrong with the girl who did this (Your friend)that is a bit deeper then just being angry at the girl. If someone is normally rather on the back lines of bullying instead of being straight forward and beating people up for the Hell of it (In this case) then usually there is deeper meaning. Maybe you should ask her about it, try and discuss it with her. Maybe the girls have other problems with eachother then what you first saw or your friend simply used this other girl as an outlit for whatever else is wrong.

I really think you should tell someone at the school about this, not necessarily to rat your friend out, but to help her. It sounds like she has a lot of bent up anger. Maybe there's something wrong at home or going on in her life that's affecting her in a negative way. There's a number of things that could be causing her to behave this way.

First I think you should confront your friend and ask her if something is wrong, why she's been acting this way. If she refuses to talk or she is abusive and rude to you, I would go to an adult, because clearly it's not something you can handle on your own. If she does talk to you and opens up and admits that she's been having a hard time then just talk with her, try to get her to see that it's not right to hurt other people, and suggest she talks to someone and tries to get some help.

It's your choice what you want to do, but personally if I were in your situation this is what I would do. Regardless of what you decide, I hope that everything goes well. :)

You mentioned shes been action "differently". Besides family problems i would also consider the possibility of drug issues.

About telling you authorities... id do it behind her back (i know this sounds bad; but itrs for her own good, and possibly yours) You have to be sure about whah/if she did it tho. Acusing someone is a very serious deal.

you might want to tell your headmistress/ headmaster what happened, by doing so, you may make it easier for everyone. (By the way I loved it when you said, "rubber"!)
