I have a problem..?

Question

In school when I go to recess, All of my friends eat my food.. I Usally have a little thing in my backpack.. Like chips or something,
Then my friends come charging and eat it all!!!! I get soo hungry in class!! My friends think i think it is funny! But its not!. They think it is funny but they dont know that i dont think so. I get soo mad! I try to tell them to stop but they laugh and eat more! They are really nice friends but just when i get out food i dont like them much.. I really love them as friends and i hate to yell ta them! WHAT DO I DO?!?!?!?!

Answer 1

Think about it. Are they really friends if they are more interested in 'stealing' your food. Out of those friends, is there one you really trust? Can she/he stand up for you too, even in a subtle way by not being involved. Perhaps saying that to someone is the best option, since then you are not alone. School can be tough, but you can be tougher :D There are real freinds out there that won't do that to you, but unless you REALLY TELL THEM they won't know. You could perhaps leave your lunch at reception otherwise, and collect it then, eat it privately?

Answer 2

Okay, calm down. I used to have the same problem at lunch in elementary school. My friends always used to beg for my food, and I wasn't even supposed to be giving it to them! Some people were only friends with me for my food, but that might not be the situation with you. What I would do is tell them that they're good friends and you love having them around, but you get really hungry when they eat all your food. Just be really nice about it, and tell them not to take as much. They should understand. Maybe you can also try bringing a little more food so that everybody gets a good share - but mostly you, because it's yours to eat in the first place.

Answer 3

You need to be more assertive and tell them that you do not want them to eat your food! If you allow them to carry on they will carry on! Just tell them lok I don't want you eating my food, and tell them it is no longer funny! If they turn against you then you just have to remember they were not real friends in the first place: I mean c'mon what kind of friends steal their other friends food? Another idea could be to go somewhere on your own to eat your lunch instead of eating with them! Good Luck!

Furthermore, you say you don't want to hurt them by yelling at them. Are you sure you are not just afraid to yell at them out of fear of them no longer wanting to be your friend? You need to stop allowing people to walk over you - which technically what these so called friends are doing!

Answer 4

Try taking an apple or something that might put them off! Personally I'd let them eat your chips, no way I would want to eat cold greasy chips that had been hanging around in a bag for half the morning!! They're doing you a favour!!!

Hide your real food in your pencil case and then while they're scoffing your other stuff you can eat that!!

Answer 5

put cayanne pepper in it or something really hot in the food that usually puts a halt to that kind of thing.

and remember if its funny to eat your food its funny to spike it with something.

dont go with laxatves unless they continue doing it

I don't think that they are being intentionally mean it just that this has become the regular funny thing to do and your not assertive enough to say no.

solution above should stop them and make them think.

Answer 6

If you don't want to stand up to them, eat your food in the toilet, although this isn't very hygenic.

Otherwise, tell them (in a very loud voice) to "P*SS OFF" and get their own food. If they are really your friends, they will respect you more for standing up to them.

Another way of dealing with it would be to sprinkle chilli powder on your food and tell them to help themselves. That would sort the little blighters out.

Good luck, and hope you get to eat soon.

Answer 7

on one of the days say u forgot to bring ur lunch but put it in a secret place. once they say " u didnt forget it ur just joking" then u say "ya, ur rite it is hiding someware, look i love u guys and i dont want to yell at u but i need something to eat too this is my lunch. i mean if i dont have anything to eat, i wont do good and school wich'll lead to other problems. plz try to understand" and there u have it thats the perfect way and if they dont stop then tell ur teacher about it but also tell ur teacher to tell ur freinds, that she noticed taht they were eating up ur food, just tell her u dont want to ruin the relation ship between u and them so dont let her say ur name in the problem. (anonymus)

Answer 8

Eat your food in the toilet, with the door shut, then go out to play. Don't let your friends see or know what you are doing.

Answer 9

this is stupid what they're doing...you have to stop it somehow...and tehy are human so by talking...tell them that you get hungry and you need to eat, and to stop eating all your food...I dont really know..just talk with them and tell them this thing makes you mad. if they are your friends they should understand

Answer 10

Ulster scooby's answer is great! Put Laxatives in there, lots of them, some really strong ones, you might be able to inject some in a chocolate bar etc.
