I am a 16 year old, and I have a friend who is toxic. He talks shit about me to other in front of my face and whenever I talk back, he just says I am ugly. He first handedly is proof that looks are more than 50 percent of the battle. Today I confronted him and told him to cut that shit out and he said no and ran away. Clearly he does not respect me in a mutual way. However, he is one of my only "friends". I'm not all the way there to being at my best, I am still on my journey. If I cut him out I will be alone. Should I just stop contact with him?
