So basically im in a friend group of 5 let’s just call them E,T,A,Z. anyway E has always had it out for me. when I had surgery on my foot she’d purposely step on it and not even apologize even though I’d be in immense pain and couldn’t walk. so time skip to now we were in class and we were playing hangman and when she was guessing random letter she said b and so as I joke I counted it but she got mad that I did even though I was about to erase it then she started choking me. in class no one was like looking at us and were looking at their screens and I tried to trip her to let go but she wouldnt and so I made a line of whiteboard marker on her pants. anyway that happens and in lunch I cuss her out and be like what is wrong with you everyone sides with her saying "its just her humor" but she genuinely choked me for a good 30-40 seconds. then I told my other friends T,A and Z and all they said was that I should apologize bc its just E’s type of humor. They openly said "we didn’t see a thing" but they still instantly sided with her. so now I don’t want to talk to them anymore. So AITA?
UPDATE:
My friends just texted me saying I should forgive her and apologize but said nothing about her apologizing to me. All they said was I was overreacting and should just forgive and forget.
NTA
It is very clear OP you were taking a stand for yourself, doesn’t matter what others think of you . That is nobody’s type of “humour”.
You need to contact the police
You need to report this to the authorities and stop associating with these people before she kills you
If this isn’t a bowl full of bs then what that person did is assault. That’s not a friend. They hate you. They assaulted you.
Report them and get better friends
Please leave this friend group asap. She seems to be testing you to see how far she can push you. That’s not a friend. This may seem dramatic but you gotta keep yourself happy and safe.
NTA. Good job on leaving them. Don’t ever look back.
So battery assault is a joke. Got it. /S
NTA and I think you know what you have to do. Stop talking to them. Stop all association and if I were you I would report it and get a restraining order atleast. If you give in amd go back to being friends this person could kill you. They are not a friend at all.
I feel like the other friends automatically taking her side IS a huge red flag and says a lot about where you stand in this friend group. I’m assuming that you’re atleast in highschool, and by that point most people know to keep their hands to themselves and control their impulses enough. Choking is no joke. If this is the way she behaves, and if everyone around her enables this behaviour as part of her personality… then I don’t see this as a friendship you want to grow with.
Cut your losses, It’ll be hard initially, but eventually you’ll find a new group of friends. Surround yourself by people that help you grow as a person, not ones that misbehave like poor mannered children lol.
With friends like that, who needs enemas?
“An enema involves inserting liquid directly into your rectum to help you poop. Most people use them to relieve constipation that hasn’t”
I assume you mean enemy. Enema is something very very different 😉
Harming people is not “humor”. And violence should not be forgiven. You do not need her as a friend, and if your other “friends” cannot see that she is a bully and dangerous, then you need to ditch them as well. You are not safe with them.
None of these people are your friends. I know it feels borderline impossible, but dump them. You’ll find new friends.
NTA. Tell an adult at your school about what happened. Assault is not ok.
