Okay, imagine this: You're in a dorm high school in a two man room. You were assigned the most hated person in the entire school as a roommate (or at least one of the most hated). Now, you wouldn't want to treat him the way everyone else does, because he's your roommate, and you're probably stuck with him for the rest of the school year (it's not like anyone's going to switch with you). If you were mean to him, he could make your life really miserable. On the other hand, if you try to treat him nicely, and absorb all the disgusting things that he says, then it's likley the rest of the school might end up treating you the same way. So, what do you do?
I've been in this situation for a few months now. I've talked with alot of people about it, and I was about to just answer with the "oh well you'll live" kind of approach. Actually, I've managed to stay neutral in the whole "conflict" for the last month or two. But of course, that can be kind of difficult, since everyone hates him and wants to soak his bed (it's a type of punishment around here), and since you're his roommate, everybody wants you to do it (it's easiest for you). But I got kind of lucky. Another friend of mine was having problems with his roommate also (as in,they hated each other) and the other guy would do anything to get rid of him. So we switched, and now that whole problem is landed on the other guy. Except he probably won't hesistate to do any of the stuff I was asked to do.
Okay, I originally wanted to post this to ask people for advice, but since I wasn't able to until today, it got solved for me. Thanks guys!
