I had bonding time with my friends. We got a good conversation about the old times. This bonding right is not like what we has before, maybe we grown up and get more mature. But we cant remove our bullying or naughty side of us. Then one of my friend, let us hide her in the of 'gracia' said that we are acting like child. No one react to her yet we continue to tease and bully one another. Suddenly, she react when tease her about the past. She get angry and walk out. In my mind, so now who's acting like a child? Everyone was laughing when we bully or tease them of what we done in the past even me.

I don't think your friend acted childish when she got mad. She didn't exhibit composure, true, but that's not being childish. Sometimes we all have a tendency of overdoing things when we're having a good time to the point that we somehow forget that we might already be hurting someone else's feeling.

Whenever I am around with my good friends, we can all be ourselves and be as silly as we want to be without fear of scolding or be labelled as crazy or childish. We are free to express our feelings and have fun as long as we do not hurt anybody. FFor me, that's what being with good friends truly is, you don't hold back, you don't moderate yourself to be "proper" just so to have fun.

Maybe she's not in the good mood or maybe her past still give her a bitter feeling.
Sometimes we cannot always say that we are in the best of mood.
There are times that we get annoyed easily or we seems to be temperamental.
I am not a patient person, but I know my limitation when it comes to teasing and kidding- that's why I understand people who seems odd at times.

We cannot avoid those conversations, when someone end up angry and to the extent of walking out. Those "catching up" is a past experience and should not cause something bad. I'm for one, prone for teasing by my friends, becasue I have a "colorful" past, but inspite of those, I leaned my lesson. i admit, I'm kind of childish when I teased or when it is really over the limit, I will react vehemently. But past is past. SOmething never changed and some will. Move on, I will tell myself to that. Thanks

Hi friend, we all have lot of fun and enjoyment in our childhood days and cherish about our old and past memories. After getting maturity we have lot of responsibilities and don't have time to cherish about the past days. During our childhood days we don't give more importance to teasing activities, but after getting maturity, we will get anger if some one tease us

I am now 36 years old but when I'm with my friends still I acted like a child. It's common nowadays especially if we accompanied to our closed friends maybe since elementary or high school. No problem if we act like a kid as long as we won't hit anything from around us.

Maybe she was offended by the bullying or she got really matured that bullying is not normal to her life anymore and can't take what everyone else is doing. Or maybe, she had a very bad history of bullying that she can't get over it and had a phobia of it. Whatever her reasons are, you should have been sensitive enough and be mature to apologize. We really can't tell what her reasons are for walking out on you.

I think that there will always be a child in us no matter how old we get! It's fun to be young again, right?

I presume she is not in a right mood while having bonding with you guys. Maybe she has a problem or maybe she was totally affected with the past. We don't know what's in her mind 'til she explains her side. Hope she's fine now. If she is your friend, you may ask her about her side when you see her again. *a penny of thought though*

Without having known others situation awkward teasing or bullying is unexpected. Anyway you are supposed to know what is among yourselves.

Doesnt sound like a good friend to me. Teasing and bullying isnt the way to do things. Have a great day. See you here soon.

Everyone has their own sensitive zone in the mind, maybe u touched her sensitive zone when u r teasing her, everyone is different, maybe the thing u r sensitive is not the others', so I suggest not to tease or make fun of others if they really cares. In my opinion, this kind of people r not acting like a child.

One of the aspect of being mature is to be sensitive to others' feelings and that we should give up our willfulness for the good of everyone.
I can understand the recalling of old times on such an occasional gathering but to forget ourselves and casting aside others' sensitivity will not achieve anything. Our lack of understanding and sensitivity will project us to be aloof, egoistic and offending. So, I do not blame your friend's outburst solely on her because there's no fire if there's no spark.

It is really nice to reunite with all friends. Acting like a child is okay and is a refreshing thing. It is good to reminisce the precious memories of the past, be it funny, happy or sad. I do hope I can reunite with my old friends soon. Bullying before is just simply teasing unlike now that it is just way too much. I am glad you enjoyed your get together. Stay happy.

She might haven't move on from that 'past' so when you have teased her you got a reaction that wasn't expected. Well give her time to tell what's in her mind. Understanding would the only thing you can do for this time until she explained herself.
