Here's the best way I do things.

Put feeling behind every single confrontation. People will respect a person who vent their feelings out loud. Make them feel like the jerks that you claim them to be. In fact, hurt them. Just do not go violent on them.

Do not be afraid of going to an authority figure if the harassment continues. I did that once against two people and they repented. In fact, I became sort of friends with a former bully.

I did NOT like getting picked on, and there was a group of bullies that took turns getting suspended for fighting with me about it. Short temper + they knew how to push my buttons = fist fights erry day.

@Coelit: lolwut. You need to get your shit figured out before anyone's going to lend you money, and they're probably going to want an explanation of why you need it and how you're going to pay it back before dropping some benjamins on you ;x

I knew that money wouldn't be a huge issue, but them letting me go could be, but since I like to think higher of them that they can consider me to be a perfectly capable person that is able to make good judgement calls, I didn't think it would be a huge problem since ACEN is only 1 hour away from me. Oh boi was I wrong.

So first off she is all, like "oh but I don't even know these people, thus they will obviously get your ass drunk and corrupted and killed" (I am of course paraphrasing). Thing is, she was being understandably protective and such, but she couldn't seem to understand why or how much I wanted to go.

Fast forward to easter and there is my cousin who is going to be going with his gf and friend. My mom talks to him about it and stuff, I could stay with them if I had to, I wont get killed, etc. The main thing out of this is that I figured that she had some initiative to make a decision if I could go and that I didn't have to prod her about this. End result of that day was that she told me that she was going to talk to Dad about it.

Fast forward further until today. And I ask her if she has made a decision since I have basically lost my spot with BRB,u so going with my cousin seems to be my only option. She is suddenly like I thought we were going to talk about this, and I remind her that she said she was going to talk to Dad about it. Dad is in the car during this and he has no clue what we are talking about so obviously she didn't talk to him about this.

End result is that I trusted her to realize the importance of this to me and not only have I for sure lost my spot with BRB,u, but possibly my chance to go to ACEN this this year since I thought she would be on top of this to at least some degree. And to think that she rants on my ass about how she is obviously so approachable and I can talk to her about anything.
