Search Results: shy girls, making her talk

Well I want to share this. Do you agree with what my mother did?
Long ago when I was in 8th grade (I'm now a mother myself and will be turning 25 soon), my friends and I were treating this girl poorly; I was the one leading all this. Kelly was her name and the reason was because she was shy, dressed up differently and had an accent.

I would actually write every prank or things we would do to her in my journal and this went on since 6th grade. What I failed to realize is my mother one day read it all and was pissed off.

She went to the school to actually talk to the girl and nearly wanted to inform it (and I was like ''mom, no, we were just kidding really) and well I couldn't believe my own mother wanted to go the office. She decided not to but then in front of my friends, she started embarrassing me by telling my secrets such as still watching cartoons, about wearing bunny pajamas and a few couple things. She wouldn't listen when I was telling her to stop and how it was embarrassing.

It did get me the message actually. We did eventually apologized and tried making it up for her... then well she did became my friend, still is.

I get it was wrong and do regret it but did she had to embarrass me like that and have my friends laugh at me?
When it was over and I was obviously beyond humiliated, I was like ''Mom did you had to do that''? She replied something like ''Yes, not only would I report you to the office next time but would gladly do it again''

There's a guy who happens to be in a few of my classes, we sit next to each other in one of our subjects but during all of our others he always finds a way to start a conversation with me, even if he's sitting nowhere near me. At first, he was extremely shy with me and had difficulty making eye contact/looking at me at all and every time we spoke he'd look directly in front of him and never turn to face me.

However, we talk basically every night online and he'll always extend the convo, for example, I sent a photo of my hand and had a tiny mark (so tiny, I could barely see it myself) although, he picked up on it and asked about it. If I send him a screenshot of something funny, and have a notification saying I've received a message from some guy, he'll pick up on the notification first rather than what I was trying to show him.

He's become comfortable enough to look me in the eye now and always does it whilst he's smiling or laughing. He will continuously talk to me during class, so much that we both get in trouble each period for the excessive talking and people pick up on it saying "we flirt so much."

Whenever he's with me, he doesn't stop laughing or smiling and he's always trying to find a way to be closer to me. If I'm not talking to him, he'll lean towards me and try and start a conversation and if I continue to ignore him, he'll do something like write on my book or push my pen out of my hand and smile at me afterwards.

He never stops me from writing my name on his belongings, instead he watches me do it and either smiles/laughs. He treats me completely different to how he treats other girls. This is the watered down version of what has been going on for months, but it'll give you an idea of how he acts towards me.

I feel as if there's something there, but what do you think?
