Be a better bestie

Check these out, too...

More times than not, we believe that we are good friends because we tell our BFFs how it is, whether they want to hear it or not. Sometimes it can turn out really good and other times we’re actually doing more harm than good. There’s a thin line between being a best friend and being a bossy friend. We’ve got some helpful hints on how to stick to the bestie side of the BFF boundaries.

Comic queen or mean girl

A lot of the time, we speak to our girlfriends as if they’re made of thick skin. Just ‘cause you think she can handle you saying that her legs look like tree stumps in the new dress she got for the spring fling doesn’t mean you have to say it. There are some friends out there who can find the humor in a comment like that, but most of us take those words as personal attacks. Rule number 1: Always think before you speak because you never know when a silly, offhand comment can make her feel insecure about herself.

Demanding diva or suggestive sweetie

Between bouts of sobbing over her breakup, your bestie asks you what she should do to get her guy back. The problem? You never liked the guy in the first place and you have no idea how to tell her what you really think without being a total witch. Rule number 2: Tell your friends what you think they should do when they ask, but don’t force your opinion on them. Allow her to make up her own mind, come to her own conclusions and create her own solutions.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Wanna know the ultimate way to ditch your bossy side and embrace your bestie? Rule number 3: Offer your BFF some good old respect. Speak to her the way that you would like to be spoken to, and treat her as you would want to be treated. Remember: There’s something special about her that sets her apart from any other girl out there—that’s why she’s your best friend, right?

So, things are going good so far with my two BFF'S. The one that got to my house first has been saying that we are BFF's and the other girl seems mad. She just talks to the other girl, and waves to her at school and doesnt pay attention to me. I did get invited to her dance competition though. So it seems like I am just one of their best friends but not the others. How can we all three be BFF's, not just me and one of them?

MOD,
everytime I turn on my phone my friend always says were not friends anymore. I dont understand why though!? How do I talk to her and tell her to stop with the text messages?

Hey girly! I'd give her a call and ask what the deal is, and why she's acting like this!

so my bff has been ingorning me for the past 2 days and today i asked her why and she said that i got mad at her and yelled at her but i never did and now shes hanging out with this other girl and they both are ignoring me so i said that i wanted to talk to her and i told her how i felt and she started yelling at me and saying that ive been hanging out with this other girl any way! but i only hung out with her because i had no one else to hang out with! im really stressed out and i know that its a hard question but...

Hey girl. This is pretty typical of bff's. Both are jealous of other friends. She's mad you're hanging with another girl and you're mad at the same thing- probably because you both want to be hanging with each other. I think you should be the bigger person here and go to her nicely and say that you're sorry for whatever happened and that you want to hang out because you miss her. If you approach her that way, she should probably come around -and apologize back. Good luck!

The two nicest girls in my class are BFF'S. I'm a nice one too, and I always hangout with them. If one is sick, and the other needs someone to stay with they come with me. I always feel left out because one time we were at my house, and one of my friends were there first and we wrote our names next to eachother saying BFF'S. She even wrote it first. Then we just wrote our other BFF's name without saying bff's next to it, but it was by the other's name. When the second one got to my house her name was by her first bff's name and she wrote & inbetween their names, but not mine. I felt left out but luckily the other girl erased it. They seem way closer to eachother than to me, but we're so much alike I can't ignore them, or stay away. I I want us all three to be BFF'S. I need help bigtime. Thx!
