ok so anyways i really need help on how to make friends. im kinda shy but around my only 2 bffs im CRAZY ok so theres a girl in my scince (lets call her ally) and a girl in my la class (aubrey) ok so ally is in my science class and sometimes we talk. she isn;t mean to me but sometimes she doesnt seem like she wants to be around me... even though she sits by me a lot. she also asked me to see a scary movie this weekend.sounds fun but idk her that well . aubrey-shes hilarious nice ok so i have a ton of inside jokes with her but one thing.shes popular.. in my school thats a big deal. i would love to hang with her but idk if she would like me that much ir if her "popular" friends wouldn't like me. what would we do when we hang too? ok sorry this sounds lame... sorry. do u think i should hang with aubrey? and idk if i should go with ally since idk her that well. what are things to do when hanging with new poptential friends?? thanks! PLEASE POST THIS!!




Hey girlie,

You gotta go for it! Ally asked you to see a movie this weekend, so take advantage of that and go! You don't know her that well right now, but the only way to get to know someone better is to talk more, hang out more, and grow closer over time. You'll feel more comfy around her after you hang out more! And definitely ask Aubrey to hang out too. You can't have too many friends Smile If you already get along, ask her to do something you'd both enjoy - go shopping at the mall, see a movie, try a new restaurant, go to a concert, go bowling, have an Oscars party, or even just do homework after school. Give it a try and put yourself out there!! <3

MOD!
my best friend is super dramatic...she cries everytime any calls her stupid or fat..which yes, i would probably too...but its soooo annoying she always follows me and gets super annoying!!!!!!! She recently got mad at my boyfriend and he said hes sick of her and doesnt really want to talk to her anymore because shes so dramatic. I need to stop being friends with her ASAP because she always gets really PMS-y and gets mad at me...it annoying. i need her to stop. but how?

 

Talk to her next times shes dramatic. Sit her down and just tell her whats up. If youre honest with her she may realize what youre saying and change her ways. xoxo kerra

MOD MOD MOD MOD-- we got a new girl and I really want to make friends with her but we have no classes together, but she sits at the table behind me at lunch, but not for long because we r moving seats again at lunch on Thursday... HELP?!? PLEASE?!? B4 THURSDAY?!?




Hey girl,

Try going up to her at lunch and saying "Hey, welcome to __(your school's name)__!" Introduce yourself to her and shake her hand. Ask her how she's liking it so far, if she's joining any clubs, where in town she's living, etc. Just have a friendly and fun convo about her. It'll show her you care and are interested in her story. And the end of your convo, try saying something like, "If you ever want to hang out or have questions about anything here, let me know." Leave with a friendly smile. She'll be happy someone talked to her and showed that they care! Then after a few days passes, you could text her to ask her to hang out (get her number from a friend or ask for it during that convo), add her as a friend on Facebook, etc. Smile

MOD MOD MOD im so confused i liked this boy since last year and now this year we started dating and now his EX Gf is doing mean things to me like today she dared someone to ask me if i have any sweaters ..i said yes and they laughed and said so u wear this sweater everyday and whats worst is she had it recording on her phone when i went back to my friends they followed me and she kept putting the phone in my face and telling me to smile so i slapped it out of her hands and now shes going to get suspended for it and everyone is telling me shes going to beat me up i told them she wouldn't and people told me that when i get beat up don't complain! whats worse is she's Older then me!! I told her friends i didn't nothing to her and they said well u did make them brake up ... (My New bf and his ex) and then My bf Agreed With her friend. im so upset that he would believe i made him and his ex brake up now i wanna brake up with him what should i do!!! im scared and upset!

 

Hey mozilla10, oh man you have a lot going on. If she does try to fight you when she comes back to school (which I hope she doesn't), you'll just have to defend yourself. She's a bully so standing up to her once will stop her from being mean to you. I'm not sure if you should break up with him. I would just talk to him about the situation and see what else he thinks about it. Hope this helps! Xoxo

I have this friend. in my school, we have three categories from achieving a certain percentage of grades (credit roll, honors, high honors). She is on the high honors list while i am on the honors list. if i get a bad grade, she tells me i got a better grade than you and tells of my other friends. when, she tells all of my other friends, i feel really embarrassed. i don't want to hurt her feeling because she is a really good friend of mine and is nice but when she does this, i get sort of mad. what do i do?




Hey girl,

Your grades are no one's business but your own! If this bothers you, next time tell her so - say that you told her because you trusted her and you really don't appreciate her telling everyone else/making fun of you for it. If she keeps it up, stop telling her what grades you got. It might be awkward at first, but you can be honest - tell her you already said how much it bothered you and now you just don't feel comfortable sharing it with her. Shrug and walk away calmly. I know it's tough, but you gotta be strong here! <3

MOD! I have been home-schooled all my life, so I'm not really accustomed to being around people. Lately, I have been doing this kids theater program where I can do that though. I have some friends there, and they're great, but I also want to get to know the other kids. I sit by them when we're eating and stuff, and listen to the conversation, and occasionally say something, but I have trouble contributing to the conversation. I'm really shy. I kinda have the same problem even with my friends, it can be hard to keep a conversation going! Please help?

 

Hey bethebrave, like your username be brave. Try to have more confidence when talking to people. Know that what you have to say is important and that people want to hear it. Once you feel that way, you won't have any problem keep the convo going. And if you do get stuck, just think of things you'd like to talk about. Maybe a new movie, a certain celebrity or about the theatre program you're in. The more you talk to people, the better you'll get, so no worries. Hope this helps! Xoxo

im really confused! So,i was at lunch with my friends and we were playing telephone. It was my friend's turn and she said something really mean but she said she meant it in a "cute" way. im really mad at her and she keeps bothering me a lot. she's always saying "mean" things to me but she thinks that she is being cute. Do think I should forgive her? i thought about it but i still dont know!! Please help!!




Hey girlie,

Try talking to her about this. Focus on this specific situation and explain to her that saying mean things, even in a "cute" way, is still saying mean things. There's no way around that - and it hurts your feelings. If she plays totally dumb and doesn't understand, bring up those other times when she did the same thing. Try to explain how it makes you feel and ask her to stop. It's that old motto: If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Even dressed up in a "cute" disguise, an insult can still hurt <3 If you work through this and she tries harder to respect you, then you know she really cares. If things don't change though, you've already given her a second chance - and that's totally frustrating, so you gotta decide whether it's worth it or not.

I am going to a new school in the middle of February right now and I am nervous because even now I have a hard time meeting new people without stuttering or acting dumb. I was wondering if you have any confidence posts or any upfront answers. I am in my last year of middle school (btw). TanxsSmile
