I think my friends are talking about me

 

Check these out, too...

  • I have no talents. Why am I so boring?
  • How can I turn my attitude around?
  • Girl Code: Is it OK to date your BFF's crush?
  • I don't want to leave my friends behind when school ends
  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
I have three best friends. I’m closer to one than the others. Sometimes she and I talk about the other two. But she and one of the others always ride bikes to school and hang out at each other’s houses. And I’m worried that they talk about me, too.

 

Dear Upset,

They probably do. But, oh well, you can’t have it both ways. And while they may indeed gossip, I doubt they’re vicious. Don’t worry. As Oscar Wilde said, “There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.”

MOD!
My best friend switched schools (we still are BFFS, I just don't see her as much) and my other closest friend started acting weird. She started flirting with the guy I like... A LOT. But I moved on after 3 things. Then I told her about something I heard happened at a party. I made her swear not to tell anyone because I wasn't there and I didn't want to spread rumors. But I had heard that one of our friend's boyfriends MIGHT have been flirting with a lot of girls. She swore she wouldn't tell and I thought nothing of it. I then found out that she had told the girl and the girl was going to break up with her boyfriend. I stopped talking to her cuz i realized how mean she was. But now I see her in most of my classes, and she drives me crazy! She is so rude to other people and I can't STAND it! How can I deal?




Hey girl! I have been a similar situation and it is no fun at all. Dont let her see that she is getting to you though. Even though it will be hard try and hang out with different people but still try and keep the peace between you two. Moving on is the best thing to do even though it may be difficult. Give her some time and maybe she will realize that she has changed and could possibly be loosing her friends over it.

Dear Mod, I've been eating lunch with these girls in my choir class for over a year now. At homecoming I was going with one of our friends, and they weren't going. They were lying and invited my friend to pictures, but not me. My friend thought I was going and was peeved at them too. I feel like they might be unsure about what we would do together out side of school. I keep inviting them to do things, but they always have some lame excuse.They seem to like me, but I'm not sure. What do I do?




Keep trying! dont give up yet. Maybe even ask why they havent invited you to stuff. If youre honest with how youre feeling maybe theyll get the hint and invite you. xoxo kerra

I got in a HUGE fight with my friend, but we said sorry and became friends again. Well, now she is saying really mean things about me. What should I do?




Hey chica! 

Instead of being defensive, sit your friend down and tell her that it makes you feel bad when she says mean things about you. Explain to her that you're want to be friends, but only if she treats you the right way. If she can't respect you're opinion, then she's not that good of a friend, is she? xoxo

MOD MOD im on a cheer squad and this one girl on our squad isn't very peppy and we've explained it time and time again, she just said she wanted the title of a cheerleader, not to actually put forth the effort and cheer. i was our game capitain and we were going to do a dance and she told me she wasnt going to do it. i told her look you signed up for this and you arent going to make us look bad so ur going to dance, i kno that there are plenty of cheers i dont like but i do them anyways. people always come up to us and ask why isnt she smiling or tell us that we look bad and its because of her. one day later my other friend form the squad told me she called me a snobby b word who needs to Eff off and that im too bossy. whgat should i do it s really bothering me a lot!




Hey girl,

Do you have an overall captain of the squad? Or an older advisor? Someone needs to set this girl straight. You are TOTALLY right here - if you're going to be on the team, you need to do the work, put forth the energy and excitement that everyone else does, and actually want to be there! The fact that she isn't trying is totally disrespectful to the rest of your team - and she hasn't earned her spot, so she really could be kicked off. Try talking to someone more in charge and/or older to help you talk to her!
