Nobody Likes You
This one straddles the line between rejection and bullying. Even if someone else’s attention makes you uncomfortable, there’s no need to reject them in a way that will make them feel worse. It would hurt them anyhow.
That’s always the problem with tiny schools or communities – rumors spread fast. Once someone knows a secret, it doesn’t take long for everyone to be talking about it. You aren’t only humiliated in front of your crush when you’re subjected to that level of rejection but also in front of everyone you know at school.
