Advice

DEAR CAROL: I'm Ignored

Dear Carol,

My friend is really nice to me when we’re alone. But in a group, she ignores me. Should I stay friends with her?

 

-Ignored

 

Dear Ignored,

How about pointing this situation out to her and seeing if things improve? Don’t whine or shout, “You always ignore me at school!” Simply say, “Sometimes I feel ignored by you when we’re in a group,” and hear what she has to say. Meanwhile, seek out other friendships. You can’t force this girl to act friendly, so it won’t hurt to make some new friends.

Oh my gosh! I feel the exact same way. This year has been really tough on me in terms of friendship problems. Thanks for the advice!

Dude listen to that advice! stay friends with her, but tlk to her about it. I say this cuz i no how easy it is to ignore ppl! Ok that sounded rly mean...anywayz, when im in a big group, sumtimes my friends tell me im ignoring them. Its so weird, cuz i dont even realize im doin it! but i always listen n pay more attention.If they nvr tell me im ignoring them, i dont even realize it. If they had jus ditched me, it would leave us both hurt and confused. so tlk 2 ur friend

Me to last year people were so mean to me because i nver talked cause i was so shy and this year i am talkive to some people and other people like preps i feel totally diffrent and i made friends with this girl and we had a promblem with her friend and her friend got jealous anf she started being really mean to me now we only talk in 1 class we have toghter!

this is me for the past 2 years, maybe.
i have tried that and we spend about a day together just us to, i know the problen is that she is always with he boyfriend or with her boyfriend her boyfriends friend and his girlfriend which is our friend. i hate it, ive talked to them, but its hard to get new friends in my school cause everyone like grew up together and are like bestfriends and are all in little groups, like its you have to be in a lot of sports to be 'popluar' and i dont really care about that but thats how it works in our school.

MOD Can you give me some tips on how to procrastinate less? Thanks.

 

 

Hey girlie, I have the same problem! If it's homework, just do it asap when you walk in the door. Think of how much better you will feel with that weight off your shoulders. phew! xo Annemarie

MOD I have a similar issue, I just started high school and my best friend totally ditched me and has all these new best friends and will never talk to me unless none of her new friends are around. I've tried to talk to her about it and i told her how it was hurting me, and she said it was killing her to know that she was causing me to be in pain. But the next day at school she acted the same way, and its just gotten worse. I love this girl so much and I don't want to just not be friends anymore, but if she doesn't put forth the effort to keep the frienship, should I just drop it? (sorry, thats a lot!!)

 

Hey babe,
      I've gone through the same situation too this year, I told her straight up that I don't deserve to be treated this way and I expected more since I gave alot into the friendship. Talk to her again, if she behaves this rude then cut her off. Real friends don't act trashy like that.<3 Sherryn D.

Dear Carol I have a BF but all of a sudden he and my friend started acting weird. I asked her what was wrong and she said she had to go or she would be late and just walked off! I asked my BF what had happened and he preatended nothing was going on. I let it go for a while but then I saw them hanging out and they got all quiet when I asked what was up. Finally I was at the mall and I saw them together holding hands and her giggling. PLEASE HELP. What should I do I really like my BF and I don't want to fight with my friend but I don't want to be cheated on or lied to!?

 

 

Hey babe,
     You have just been cheated on and lied to. Confront them calmly and if they are together, wish them happiness and move on. Real friends don't do that to other friends, and you may have to get over that crush in order for drama to not happend. <3 Sherryn D.

babyd2957 on 12/14/2008 10:06:43 PM

I have almost the exact same problem! My bff always ignores me when we're in school. It seems like she's embarrased to talk to me!

hermy269 on 12/29/2008 4:39:02 PM
