ADVICE | FRIENDS | FAB UP YOUR FRIENDSHIP

Be a better bestie

 
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?

i have a friend who ive known since kinderganden and weve been friends for forever but we r in middle school now and she made the school volley ball team and i didnt... now she plays volley ball non stop with her new friends from the team>>> she has practise 3 time a week a tournament every weekend and stays late at school to play more! the only people she ever hangs out with are from the v-ball team and we r becoming distant and everytime we talk its akward...i really LOVE my bff but im not sure she wants to be friends or if she's just to busy.... please help!!!!

Bonjour chicky! One hard part of growing up is that you and your friends begin to change and develop new interests. This may cause you guys to grow a bit apart, but there is an upside to it all which is making new friends. So what if you didn't make the volley ball team - there are still a lot of other after-school activities you can do such as musical theater, cross country, and so much more. If there isn't a club you really like at your school, than start your own and in no time you'll have a new group of friends to hang out with while still being able to chill with your bf from time to time.

I had a fight with my ex-best friend in january on facebook. I sent her a poem one of my friends showed me because it explained how we were becoming 2 strangers and how our friendship wasnt the same. she said very mean things to me so i responded to her equally as rude.I ended up blocking her.Part of me wants to unblock her and apologize and the other part wants to keep ignoring her and her nasty comments.But I hold myself back because of all the things her new "bestie" has done to me. She made up all these rumors about me and ruined my reputation! No one wants to be my friend now and i feel lonely and empty. She was like my sister and I want to go back to having those good times. What should I do? If I do apologize how do I say it? Please tell me exact words SmileThanks for your time, I would love to hear your opnion.Have a great day!

Mod! Mod!
I sit next to my friend in class, and she always gets like 70s on her quizs and tests, and I get 90s and even 100s sometimes. She looks really bummed when she gets tests back that she did bad on. When she asks what i got on my test, I feel bad telling her that i got a 100 or 95. What can i tell her to comfort her?




Hey chica. You guys could just stop telling each other your scores, so she doesn't feel bad.

My problem is that i'm different- I'm mature and its weird. I'm not girly at all! I lke black, red, and purple. I only listen to extremely hardcore and screamo music. None of the friends my age are anything like me but i still like them. I act 13 and everyone thinks i am because i hang out with 13-16 yr olds when im only 11. All my friends my age get mad when im with my REAL friends that are like me! What do i do??? Also im trying to change what the girls in my grade think of me, i used to be girly and i want them to see the real hardcore me. How can i show them that? MOD thanks(:




Hey girlie. Of course you should hang out with whoever you fit in with, but I wouldn't say that your friends your age aren't your REAL friends. They might just be a different type of friend. If they're getting mad at you, try talking to them to work things out. As far as showing them who you are- just be you. They will get it.

MOD MOD!! im really stressed Frown my friends keep fighting all the time. i'm 14 and my sister tells me its our age and that everyone does it then. but its so hard because there fighting and i'm usually in the middle but the thing is the fighting i can kinda handle but i keep thinking and worrying ( and i dunno why) if i made bad friends because there fighting and they can b mean and hurt me sometimes but the rest of the times they cheer me up and always always make me laugh Laughing im soo worried that my friends are bad though and that there not as good as other peoples friends?? Frown what do i doo? Frown do you think they sound bad ? im always comparing myself to othersFrown xxxxx

 

 

Hey girly! You can always stay friends with your friends, but make more friends too. That way, you'll have your choice as to what group you want to hang with the mostSmile
