Middle school is tough and I wish I could say that this kind of stuff stops as you get older, but it doesn't. There's college girls that I have seen do it and it completely sucks.
I'm 40 and this still happens to me. Even grown women have a little "Plastic" in them sometimes. The difference is how I react. It took me years to get to this point, but when things like this happen now, it's just "Ew. What a witch" <nicer words for FB>.
I just have a policy - if you bring something positive to my life that I wouldn't have without you in it, you can stay. If you don't, you can't. That's not to say I will never talk to someone again, just that I back off a LOT on the friendship. If and when they ask why, I tell them the truth.
Usually they say, "Why didn't you say anything?" My reply? "Because no one should need to tell you that that was messed up. I'm not your mother, it's not my job to raise you to be a better person." Seriously... I hate when people act like they don't know that something they did was jacked up.
