Can someone please tell me how to deal with supposed friends who say stuff about Michael Jackson to you when they should know by now that he is your life, and you have nowhere else to hang? (BTW I'm not an aggressive person)
Thanks so much for all the help you guys. I realise now who my true friends are. That is you guys. I decided to leave the people saying stuff about MJ after talking to them about it in vain and have found a great group of friends who love me for me. Rhanks again
If they are meant to be friends of yours then they wouldn't be doing this. I suggest you start off by ignoring them. If they say bad things to your face just roll your eyes and walk away or something like that. A lot of haters will stop if they see it doesn't bother you. However if your "friends" don't stop then stand up for yourself. You don't have to be aggressive about it. Just say that if you are really my friend then you wouldn't be acting like this. Or just feel free to tell your parents or an adult you know. Some people feep childish doing so but its worth a try. I hope this helps. :-)

Thank you for your advice, I really appreciate it and I'll try not to take things they say to heart cause I tend to do that
I have the same problem as you do.None of my friends is an MJ fan and worse:sometimes they make jokes about his nose or his dance moves and that bothers me a lot!And I feel so lonely when I hear those things because there's no one to help me to stop it!But,usually when I say :"Stop!"they stop because they're my friends and they don't wanna hurt me!I have to admit that there are many people who hate Michael or simply don't like him but that doesn't means that they can't be my friends,if they want!Because,everybody has the right to have an opinion!So,if you consider that they are your friends,tell them to stop and if they do,then forgive them and keep them close!You must leave behind the past mistakes if someone says he's sorry...That's one of the things that Michael taught me!

Yea they do say stuff like that to me and I tell them to stop but they just stop for a few days and do it again. thank you for your help.
Tell them if they are your friends, they would respect that you admire Michael. When they say whatever they say about him, just ignore it. That's what I do when someone disrespects someone I like. But if it doesn't work for you, just stand up for Michael. Tell them that Michael means a lot to you, and if they don't respect that, say you need actual friends who will understand.

Thanks, I appreciate your help, and I do stand up for him but I just end up crying. I'm very sensitive when it comed to Michael
if they are really your friends,they'd stop saying that knowing how you feel about him.so just ignore them,defend him a great deal always driving your points home even with archival evidence if possible.to them,ignorance is bliss but you know whats true.so just keep the faith,dont let nobody turn you round..

ha OK. I love how you incorporated those songs into your response. MJ forever and a day
Just ignore them . & don't be angry at them or something , after all they are still your friends even though you guys have diffirente opinions about MJ . It's not important what other people say or think , it's you we're talking about . and it's your life so you can love anyone you want to .
None of my firnds like Michael. Whenever they rag on me, I just say "Do you have ANY taste in music at all?!" Itys true, this is for all the Queens Of Pop =)

they do like his music, just not him. But thanks that made me smile
Grow some ballz and get over it i like mj but i dont know him personally to get mad at a friend who hates him unless mj is related to you get over it. do you really want to lose ur friends over this stupid opinion?

I see your point, but they should still respect who she likes.
i think it depends on how bad it it, like my best friends do it to tease me cuz they know it bugs me, but if they are doing it to piss u off they shouldn't be your friends, and if you ask them to quit nicely and they don't they arnt your true friends.

thank you so much. I really do feel that the people on fanpop are my only friends sometimes. I love the picture BTW
i just ignore them. I dont know how many people i know that hate michael. I'll get mad at first but i eventually get over it. If you have to if they keep doing it bring up the point and say "Do you see me judging who you like?" and if they say something smart just dont talk to them anymore. I understand everyone has an opinion, but still your friends should show some respect, i dont care who you are you should never make fun of someone espeacially when they are dead. If they dont listen dont talk to them until they apologize. I hope this helps.... :)
