Ed Vice is back and dishing out more advice! Submit your dilemma here.

Dear Ed-Vice,

There’s a super annoying girl in ALL OF MY CLUBS. She thinks she’s soooooo smart and funny, but she’s really just a bully. She keeps offering me rides home and randomly appears in front of my house. I want to get rid of her but I can’t. I bought her a coffee once, and now she chases me down the hall, asking me to buy her a lukewarm decaf black coffee and a cake pop (the omnicron one). She keeps asking to be my partner AP BIO, but she doesn’t know what the mitochondria is. She haunts me in my dreams. Everywhere I go, I just see her lifeless beady little eyes evaluating me. The lights are on but nobody’s home, ya know?

Truly, she’s stalking me. I WANT HER GONE. Like lowkey, someone take her out.

And, she’s after my man. I’ve never had a conversation with him and he’s not my boyfriend, but we have a thorough eye-contact-ship but he’s mine anyway. HE HAS VIEWED MY STORY TOO MANY TIMES TO COUNT. She keeps asking him out and even though he clearly likes underclassmen. I hate this girl and can’t wait for her to graduate, but in the mean time, how do I set a boundary and keep her away from MY MAN?!?!?!?!

Hey girl,

I think most people are going to tell you that you should try to open your heart and accept this person as a friend. However, I don’t agree with that. It’s clear that you hate this girl, and no good would come out of interacting with her further. I don’t think that a healthy social environment is one where nobody hates anybody. I think that as long as you aren’t hostile to this woman, you’re okay to hate her.

If she is really bothering this much, I don’t think it would hurt to set boundaries. She appears at your place of residence? She asks you to get in her car? That’s totally enough reason to want to avoid her. It’s not mean to straight-up tell her to stop coming to your house uninvited.

Also, not everything she says warrants a response. If this girl frustrates you, it’s better to just not respond to her. Maybe she will take a hint? If she chases you down the hallway, it’s not mean to brush her off. It’s plainly rude to approach somebody like that. The hallway is not the place for that. You have places to be, so begin to broadcast that with your body language.

Some people will say it’s cruel to ignore somebody like that, but I don’t see it that way. This girl is not better off being friends with you, because you hate her. You’re both so obviously better off without one another.

As for the guy; I think if he’s into underclassmen he is probably weird. Obviously, I don’t know the entire situation, but if an upperclassmen MAN is into primarily underclassmen GIRLS, I would call his intentions into question.

Kisses,
