ADVICE | FRIENDS | DEAR CAROL FRIENDS

My BFF is being a meanie


 
 
 

I’ve known my best friend for five years. She can be fun, but then she’ll be rude and mean. She’s smart and likes to brag about it. Sometimes I want to yell at her.


Dear Bugged by BFF,
 
Even best friends get on each other’s nerves sometimes. The next time she’s mean to you or others, say “Ouch!” or “That’s a little harsh.” She’s bragging about grades? Say, “I know you’re smart, no need to remind me.” Be honest with her in a sensitive way, and you’ll be doing her a favor.

So my best friend and I are fighting. I feel ditched by her, because she is always hanging out with her seventh grade friends (we're in eighth grade). I also like one of the same guy she likes. She also likes 9 other guys besides him. She says she's totally fine with it, but she sure doesn't act like it. One minute she's happy, and then next she's mad at me. I don't feel supported by her, and I don't feel like she's being a good friende. I've tried talking to her, but apparently it's not getting thru. Please help!!




Hey girlie,

Keep trying! Try writing her a note or email to calmly explain things. Make sure you don't attack her or let your emotions get the best of you - keep things mature and try to talk it out. But if she just isn't listening, it might not be something you can save. I know it's a bummer to think of it this way but, sometimes, friends just grow apart. It's nothing to be embarrassed about - it happens! So keep trying to get through to her in different ways. But don't stress yourself out or try too hard if you're making no progress. Instead, try backing off and spending time with your other friends. Give her some space and see what happens. Even if you don't reconnect, you'll have more peace in your life and realize that most true friends won't make you feel this way <3

My BFF is the EXACT same. She can be mean, but she can also be really nice. She stopped being friends with one of my other BFF's because they were lying to each other. I'm still friends with both of them, but when one of them finds out that I was at the other person's house, they freak out on me. Another one of my BFF's is really close to the one that can be mean. She can be mean too. One time, they gave me part of a piece of gum that was one yard long. They said they had saved it for me. I figured something was wrong with it. I took it anyway, though. I didn't think there was anything they could do to it. I put it in my mouth, and they started laughing at me. Turns out, it had been in the garbage for about an hour. I was mad! A week ago, they ditched me when we went shopping: We rode our bikes. On our way back, I looked behind me. They were gone! I want to tell them that I don't like the way that they treat me, but I'm afraid. HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!

MOD MOD MOD Hi this is sort of what is happening to my best friend but kinda different. My bff and I have been friends for 7 years and she has this other best friend. Anyway, whenever she's with her other best friend she'll start to call me names and call me a liar and other stuff like that. But when she's with me she acts like the bff I know. I've told her about it many time but when she's with her other bff she acts like I never told her. This has happened and last week she texted that she wanted me to come to her house and I told her once again about the situation. Then she texted me and said that I should stop talking to her because I'm being mean right now when I never was. A few minutes later she called and she got so mad that she hanged up the phone when I was talking. That meant that we weren't bff's anymore. Yesterday, she called me and wanted to be bff's again and I said I said I didn't know because I was still mad. What should I do? HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!

 

 

Hey girl. I have a friend like this and have found that the best way to handle it is to act like you are friends again, but know what she is. You can still hang out, but walk away when she is being a terror.
