How can you tell your friend that they are starting to treat you harshly?

Just say "That wasn't nice." when they say something harsh. Maybe they don't realize it.\n\nOtherwise, get new friends.

Well the only way I know is to confront them straight up and tell them that you think they have a problem and you need help and that you will be there for them if they need it. Tell them that you are afraid of them hurting themselves.

You simply tell them they're treating you like crap and be specific.  Then tell yourself to get rid of people that make you feel crappy or unhappy.

The best way if you are strong enough is to smile and say I thought you were my friend but a friend would never treat someone this way,,, and walk away with your shoulders straight.\nThese people who tease you are not your friends.  We should all treat other people as we wish to be treated, so make sure that no matter what you treat them kind,, kindness always overcomes bitterness and ugly.

Walk away...eventually they will be left standing in their dirt!  \n\nDont waste your valuable time on worrying about those who use you for there is nothing you can do to change them but you can change how you relate to them.  Do you always want to have a "victim" for a friend?

Unless your friend is going through a really bad time at the moment it sounds like she is not a very good friend.\n\nThe crux of the matter is \na) do you treat anyone you consider a friend like this?  If you don't why tolorate it from someone else.\n\nb)  IF you stopped calling you wouldn't have a friendship.\n\nSpend the time you spend on her making some proper friends who will make an effort, call you back and show that they value you in their lives.

avoid them and hang around with better people (thoses who are you friends no questions asked). also stop letting them use you can also be attempted so that they will get the hint and get lost.

if you have known these people fora long time and this just started happening and you dont just wat to stop being friends, you definately need to bring what they are doing to there attention. let them know how you feel, but be calm about it. dont yell at them or be overly dramatic or just act angry and stuck-up because they might not even realize that they were doing it. i have been in the same situation, and i did talk to my friend about it and she said she was sorry and didnt even realize it and then everything was cool between us. \nalso, try to include YOURSELF in the conversation. if you "but-in" to the conversation, you are showing that you want to be part of there conversation and that you are there and you have something to contribute. if you just dont talk at all, it might be your own fault that they are ingoring you.\ni hope all this helps!

Wow!  If you talk like this about a friend, I 'd hate to see how you diss your enemies!  Friends are supposed to be supportive, non-judmental and not broadcast the other friend's weaknesses.  The answer is to just speak privately to her.\n\nBe tactful and tell your friend that you are worried about her and why.  Please do not call her a "whore" or not "good looking enough" as you will hurt her feelings and close her mind to anything constructive you might have to say.  Not to mention that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and your opinion may not be the same as someone else.  You might want to tactfully suggest that she seek counseling to find out why she is on a self-destruct course.  There may be some driving force or emotional issue in her past that you know nothing about.\n\nHowever, she is an adult at 19 and is entitled to make her own choices and mistakes in her life so if she rejects what you say, you have to accept it.

Give him one chance to prove he is a friend.  In private, tell him how his behavior is hurting you and ask him to stop.  If he does it again, he's not really your friend.

I would tell him that he hurt me whether he was joking or not and if he apologizes, accept it. People say a lot of things they don't mean when they're mad. If he is truly your friend, he'll apologize, if he doesn't then I'd say, "Ya know what? When you decide to apologize, I'll listen, until then, I would rather not be around you."

Once u have a close friend, care about u,, tell him that u did something bad,, and wait to see his answer,, if he is interested,, he will tell u that u must be punished,, and u can move from here

Stop giving them things or doing things for them and see how long they stick around. If they get angry about it, then you will know they werent your friends to begin with.

Just tell 'em staight forward that you dont like being called that, and if they cant accept that, then maybe these friends arent the best ones for you

they arent your friends if they dont care about you enough to not make you feel bad. Dont stoop to their level and do it back, instead immediatly stop talking to them and keep your head high, once they see it doesnt bother you they will stop doing it. Who needs enemies with friends like that. Get some new friends that arent little brats.
