TIFU by Putting my Friend in Makeup at School and I Don't Know What to do.
Basically, today at school I put one of my best friends in drag just because. We had done this before, and he agreed to let me at lunch. While doing it I asked him multiple times if he was sure as people were crowding around us and making fun of him. He said yes he was sure and that he thought it was funny, he was used to being bullied, all of that. We had done his makeup along with some others during theater before so I think he thought it was kind of going to be like that, however, it was much worse. Now, he has some of our good friends (he's even closer with them than I am) along with some of his friends ignoring him/ thinking about not being friends with him due to being scared they would get bullied, think he's gay, so on and so on. (I honestly blew up at a few of our friends for joining in and laughing at him) He says he doesn't care but to be honest I've known him long enough to see the shift in expression when he's uncomfortable/ nervous. Basically, I don't want this to be the whole thing that people know him for as he's genuinely such a good person and at that the most iconic one I know, especially after this. I really don't want him to get harrassed or worse due to this either. I also really want to keep being friends with him and am kind of worried that if he keeps getting bullied he'll blame me for it and stop being friends with me even though I know that probably won't happen. (Anxiety issues lol) Long story short, I need advice and for him to know, no matter what I have his back.
TL;DR: I put one of my best friends in drag at school and now he's getting bullied. I really need advice.
