Frustrated

What’s your question?
There’s a girl in my PE class who is constantly getting on my nerves. Part of me wants to bash her over the head with a rock, but at the same time I just want to diffuse the situation before it gets extreme. What should I do?

Mr. Bobcat:
People can be frustrating sometimes. If they are purposefully doing things to annoy you, there are a few things that you can do:
1. Set some boundaries. It can help for you to talk to them and ask them to give you some space. 
2. Try to see where they are coming from. Some people, when they want to get to know someone better, they will do something that for some people can seem annoying. If this is the case, try giving them the benefit of the doubt and try to learn more about them and get to know them better.
3. You can also try being kind to them, despite how much they are annoying you. It is a lot harder for you to hate somebody when you are occupying your thoughts with kind deeds that you can do for them.

If they aren’t doing anything to you specifically and you are still annoyed by their actions, reassessing your attitude could be a solution for you. Don’t judge anybody until you have walked a mile in their shoes.

Sincerely,
Mr. Bobcat
