Bullying is the act of intentionally causing harm to others, through verbal harassment, physical assault, or other more subtle methods of coercion such as manipulation.

i am bullied all the time, so i would think this is not new, and it really shouldn't bother me, but recently, my "best friend" as she likes to call herself, has been isolating me. I don't me casually leaving me from group work, but literally making it to where i am not allowed to exist in her world. if i call her name, she doesn't anwser, but if a studdent next to me quietly asks her name, she turns around immidiatly just to spite me. during class, she refuses to work with me, and isolates me from our group of four people. I used to eat lunch with her, and she has gotten the whole group on into not allowing me to eat with them. i find this immature and actually very hurtful as she has been doing this for three weeks and refuses to confront me and isn't allowing me to confront her,
i don't know what i did, or if i should really bother at all, but i am looking for advice. as i am in class now, i am typing in a hurry and may have left out details that could help with advice. i apologise for that.

If you change the dynamics by walking away from what she is doing - go sit somewhere else at lunch without even a glance her way - she may straighten up. She will see that her bullying is not working.
However, I would give some serious thought to whether or not you want to be friends with this girl. If she will "punish" you for something you know nothing about - odds are she will do it again. It sounds like a game that she enjoys playing. I'd find new friends if I were you.
Good luck with this - no one should accept bullying behavior - it takes a bite out of your self-esteem when they pull this kind of stuff. You don't need it.
