Today, I asked D if she wanted to come over to my house after school. After not being my best friend for so long, I thought at first that she would refuse. However, she seemed so eager and accepted my offer. Somehow, I sort of suspect that it was because she was only interested in seeing what Ben - the baby with the big, deformed head, looks like.
It was almost too embarrassing though. When we walked in the door, we met Mom looking all sloppy in her old slippers and messy hair. That afternoon, I suddenly realised that Mom had changed A LOT over the years. She probably can't take care of her appearance, now that she has to spend all her time taking care of Ben...
I really don't quite know what to feel about D and the way she treats Ben. On one hand, I'm quite thankful that she did not scream and run away in fright when she saw Ben's huge, deformed head. However, she was asking all sorts of rude questions about Ben. Although she called him "Cute and sort of different and special", I kinda felt that she was studying him as though he was some sort of weird and fascinating animal in a science lab - and not at all like the adorable baby he was. That's the thing about D you see... She can be so honest that sometimes, I wonder if she has any real human emotions and feelings at all...
On the bright side, Mom and I had a lovely cup of tea and a nice chat that afternoon, after D went off. I could not help noticing that Mom had tidied herself up and put on make-up. Maybe she feels a bit more aware of her own looks after seeing beautiful, gorgeous D... *rolls eyes*
D asked if she could come back to see Ben often. I said yes, but now that I think about it, I'm not quite sure... I mean, I'm glad that she's sort of my friend again, but I don't want her to stare at Ben like he's a science project! What should I do...?
Depressed and Dejected,

I really think you should talk to D about your feelings and after that hear what she has to say..if she's still the same,you should not let her come to your house but if she understands what you are feeling...then maybe you should let your decision be 'Yes'.

I know that you are in a dilemma.
But,you should give Debbie another chance.If she continues doing her so called 'science project'on Ben,then you should not let her come to your house.explain it to her clearly.

Dear Anna,
I know your feelings towards Ben.But if you don't want Ben to be the science project of D or Debbie,explain to her why you don't want Ben to be her science project.Then if it still not succes,tried to expree your fellings about you and Ben to her or when she came over your house,tried to blog her by going in like eg:your mother said to her that you will not at home or someting else.

Hey Anna!
I understand that your really having a tough time dealing with "D" about baby Ben. Well, for me it was quite nice of her to come over you house and met Ben and agreed to come to your house again but I have to agree with you that she is like focusing on what is Ben on the "outside", you know that his handicapped. All I can advice is just accept that people have different views and how they show it or you can always talk to Debbie--the best way though. Well, goodluck with that. Keep us updated:)
Here always,

hi Anna my name is vanessa Tan from 1a2.Nice to hear about your blog ,it is really nicely decorated.I think that you should not think that D is doing a science experiment on ben.You should think that maybe she does not understand how you feel, when she say that and maybe she is just curious about ben.I hope that you can reply me thanks.
Hi Anna,
I think you should tell D your feelings and thought rather then to keep it to yourself~~ or if you do not really like the way she treated ben, i think you should stop letting her come to your house.

Hi Anna,
You should tell D about your feelings and ask D how D see benedict. Maybe D has something to tell you.

Hey Anna,
Maybe you should really give Debbie another chance.Tell her how you feel and explain to her clearly why she shouldn't do the ''science project'' on Ben and try to prevent her from coming to your house.I know you are hurt but Debbie is still your friend.

Hi Anna
Debbie might be excited about Ben's look so she asked all sorts of rude questions about Ben.
Don't you know that she is a simple mind so don't care about what she is thinking. I do accept that she sometimes don't has any real human emotions and feelings.
Hope you don't get over too angry/sad when she doing her science project on your brother.
Smile always,

I really think that you should not think of D was staring at Ben like he's a science project i believe D is just wanted to take a close look at Ben but if you really think that D was staring Ben like he's a science project then u should explain to D that you do not wish her to stare Ben like a science project and D ever treat Ben chocolate to eat .

Hello Anna,
Do not take anything that D said to you and put it inside your heart.I know that 'D' is a straight forward person and she like to say out what she is thinking...If you don't want 'D' to take ben as a science project,Maybe,you should tell her how you feel so that she will stop doing it... I think you would really want 'D' to stop it right? So act now...Hope you don't be sad over this small matter...^^
=D always,

Hello Anna,
In my opinion, I think that you should not let Anna go to your house anymore.
Cause she kept asking rude questions about Benedict,
don't be upset, cheer up okay?
Hi anna
i think you should tell her how you feel oneday, so that maybe she will not asking those rude questions. she is in the wrong, because nobody want this to happened to benedict..

Hi Anna,
i'm trying not to be rude but, i think you should give Debbie a chance. Maybe is just your imagination that Debbie is treating ben like a "science experiment". Maybe Debbie likes ben too, is just that she need more time to get use to Ben. i believe someday Debbie will treat ben as a normal, cute little baby like you do. don't think too much, just give her a chance alright? (:

hello,
i think he maybe D is not go n see Ben then go to your house.so maybe you can try to talk to her.tell her what is inside your mind. so she can know what you are thinking,she is not a god can read your mind.so u must listen to what she said first then you can do ur choice.!! :)

Hi Anna,
don't take it too hard about what people say, just think positive about you and Ben. And hopefully they will understand your situation.
Stay happy always (:
