My best friend and I go to the same camp, and I like a guy who acts more interested in my BFF. She knows I like him, but she doesn’t seem to care about my feelings. How do I know when my friend has crossed the line?
 
Dear Confused at Camp,
A girl should never hit on her best friend’s boyfriend or go for a BFF’s ex right after a breakup. But when it comes to crushes, the lines are less clear. Are you truly upset with your friend—or are you upset with him for not noticing you or maybe even with yourself for feeling jealous? Think about it—would it really make sense for your friend to ignore a guy she seems to be clicking with just because you like him, too? Even if she were to completely shun him, it won’t ensure that you and he will ever get together.
 
My advice is to reach out to other campers. Meanwhile, you could admit to your friend that you’re envious but that you wish her luck. Camp will end—don’t let the friendship.

My BFF Claire likes this older boy who was on her hockey team, and were 12 and he's 15, and he has gf. He's depressed and he used to cut himself and all of that stuff, and another thing: he talks to me. Claire will stop at nothing to get him to like her, which he told me he has a gf and Claire is younger than him so she won't go out with him. I told Claire what he said, but she just doesn't want to realize he doesn't and probably never will like her, but she's trying to convince herself that he will. And whenever I'm talking to him she makes me tell him to text her (which I never actually do) and now that Claire found out he was depressed, she's acting depressed. It's like I don't even know her anymore! She's posting weird Facebook statuses, she's pretending to be someone she's not, and she's trying to get someone way out of her league. I tried telling her he'll never like he, but she won't listen! What should I do? Please help!

Hey girl. He is too old her. A lot happens between 12 and 15 and he has a gf! She shouldn't be getting involved with a guy with untreated depression either. Try to show her guys your own age that are cute too!

I have a long distance friend that I met from my ex boyfriend. We met and we were best friends, always on the phone, calling, texting, Skyping, E-Mailing, talking on Facebook, everything. We even went to visit eachother over the school breaks and we sent eachother letters and present for holidays and our birthdays. But soon, we got into a really big fight and we stopped talking. Then after a few months, she needed my help so I helped her, and we talked for a few weeks but then we got into another fight. It's been 3 months, we haven't talked. I apologized and stuff but she never answered, and she never apologized to me. I miss her Frown my BFF I live by said I should just forget about her and go my own way, but it's hard, I miss her, And, I cant talk to her. She won't listen! What should I do? Please help!

Hey girl. If this girl is unwilling to talk to you there isn't much you can do. It sounds like you have a great BFF back home.

My friends are all tall and skinny, I'm a bit on the chubby side and i'm the shortest girl in my class. All of my friends wear cute bikinis and I wear ugly full pieces because i i don't like my body. Also, there is this girl who is a year older than me and EVERYONE loves her. She is skinny, pretty, nice, tall, and has all the cool clothes. When i see her or my friends i think about how i am not as good as them. Please help my jealousy!!




Hey girl,

You should stop comparing yourself to your friends. We are all built differently, and your friends love you for a reason, so focus less on appearance and more on personality. I know it's hard, but think of other qualities, besides the superficial ones, that are important. If you do, you'll find that you have a lot to offer. You could try writing down everything you love about yourself, because by looking at the list, you'll realize how many great things you've got going on. x0x0

My BFF Abby has a crush on a freshman on her Hockey team, and my BFF and I are 7th graders. Her crush is mean and depressed, and ever since she started liking the freshman more, she has started to change. A LOT. She keeps saying she's depressed which i know shes not, and she changed her room from pink to black, she HATES black! She also wears a lot of black make up and bought a lot of black clothes. It's like i dont even know her anymore! One of her friends tried talking to her and she got really mad, and I dont want to start anything because we just got back after having a huge fight. Im glad Abby found someone she likes i really am, but shes totally changing! She also keeps texting him and email him and tagging pictures of him on Facebook and forgetting to add her REAL friends. Her crush doesn't even care about her, I know it. I want to pay him to tell her off, but i wont. what should I do? Please help!




Try and talk to her about her change in dress and her room decor and ease your way into her behavior--explain to her it's only because you love her and want your happy go lucky friend back Smile
