Advice #7

Colette said...
Hi. I have a friend who...when I think of it...isn't really a good friend. She's always putting me down, and whenever I go out shopping and I'm really proud of what I wear, she critisizes it. What should I do to let her know that I don't want to be her friend?

If your friend is that bad, you should try telling her to her face. It's probably best to do this when you guys are alone outside of school. If there are other people around it might be harder to actually talk. If you don't think you'll be able to tell her to her face, try texting or e-mailing her. Be careful with that though. It's easy to read it the wrong way. I hope this works out for you!

Love,

Thanks, guys. It really worked. My friend isn't my best friend anymore, but we're having a sleepover tonight to make up for the bad stuff we did to each other. After I texted her, she told me that I couldn't just told her that she made me feel bad and she would have understood. Thanks again!!! :)

Hey, advicecolumnist? I have a bit of a problem. Could you help me? My parents are getting a divorce, and now some of my friends are avoiding me. I don't know why, and whenever I try to talk to one of them, they all giggle and run away before I can ask why. I tried chasing them once, but they're faster than me. Is there something wrong with me, or do they not want to be caught up in my parents' divorce?

I really like this one guy, but he likes another girl, and everyone knows it. Now my best friend is spreading rumors about me wanting to break them up, and that's not true. Has this ever happened to you? Please help...!

I have a friend who likes the same girl that I do. I think she likes me back, but I don't really know. I was thinking about asking her out, but when I told my friend about it, he yelled "You're such a loser!" in my face and stormed off. I think it's because he's jealous, but why isn't he asking her himself? I tried calling, texting, and e-mailing him but he won't reply. I feel really bad. How can I make my friend like me again and still ask the girl I like out? Any advice?

I'm in eighth grade. I ride the bus with these two seventh grade girls. One of them is really awesome, and we're okay friends. But the other one is always putting me down, like all the sixth grade boys do. I put on make-up...a lot of make-up...do you think that's it? She's always being mean to me. How can I make her stop? Is she jealous that I like her friend better than her, or does she think I look weird? HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!

My parents are always fighting with my younger brother. I try not to get on their nerves because their under a lot of stress with the stock market and stuff. But kids at school keep teasing me and asking when the divorce is. When I tell them to stop, they call me a baby and a bunch of mean names and laugh. What should I do?
