Sick of your sweeties? Hit refresh on your friendship

  • Girl Code: Is it OK to date your BFF's crush?
You and your crew have been stuck together like glue for years now, but now your weekly sleepover gab seshes are feeling same-old, same-old. It’s natural to grow apart as you get older, but that doesn’t mean you have to bid your best girl friends goodbye. Cement that LYLAS sentiment with our top-three tips for refreshing your fabulous friendship.

 

Try something new

When your rainy day movie marathons start taking on a sense of deja-vu, it might be time to pick up a new activity. Trying something none of you have ever done before—and doing it as a group—will supply you with essential bonding time, bringing you closer together along with the rush of adrenaline that comes with freshly minted fun. You don’t have to go crazy. Skipping the standard chick flicks in favor of old black-and-whites might just do the trick.

 

Update old traditions

Tired of everyone bringing the same cookies to your Black Friday swap? Ready to amp up your annual Christmas tree decorating party? Reset the vibe of your favorite traditions by adding new twists. Bake cupcakes or build gingerbread houses instead of toting six dozen chocolate chip cookies to Christina’s house. Broaden your social circle to include your fave dudes from school for your next party. Don’t forget the mistletoe!

 

Shake things up

Still not feelin’ the love? Mix things up by adding a fresh face to your flock of femmes. Befriend the new girl at school and ask her to join you for a study party after school. Or chat up an acquaintance you’ve been meaning to get to know better. Or add your BGFs into your inner sanctum.

 

Good luck, girlie!

Hey just_me 12, get your friend to tell you about the times you were rude to her so you can be sure those situations don't happen again. Also get her to tell you when you say something rude, so you can stop and think about what you've just said or done. Now that you're aware you can start changing your behavior. Hope this helps! Xoxo

My friend recently told me that I'm kinda mean but i didn't know I was being mean, and I didn't know what I was doing was mean. How can I be not mean when I didn't know I was mean in the first place? Lynae P.

My best friend, Aseya is moving away in 2 weeks and I'm scared that when she moves away, me and my group of friends will drift away from each other. Izzie is already moving away slowly- shes nearly always around the b-crowd. I find it hard to talk with Fiona because we're quite different and shes very friendly and outgoing and knows everybody and therefore is with other people at lunch time. Shola has a best friend already who doesn't come to our school but I usually feel left out when I see photo's- another problem with Shola is that when theres a new girl, it's as if I've turnt invisible Frown It really hurts- Thats what happened when Aseya was the new girl. I usually like to be alone but I remember the first day at my school when I was alone for a while, it was torture and I felt really sad. I'm scared I'll end up being alone again. Frown Also, Im very shy, I don't like to push myself into new friendships in case they secretley don't want me tagging along.
Thanks alot, Cindy




Cindy, if people don't want you around they will usually let you know at some point. I think you are going to be fine without Aseya. You do have other friends and eventually you are going to become closer with them. I understand you are shy but if you are around these people all the time you need to get over your shyness. They clearly like you since you hang out with them so be a bit more open.

So ive been friends with this girl since 1st grade and we've stayed bff's for 8 years but now we are both making new friends and she is making bad choices with them, and sometimes i cant even look at her. She never talks to me about her problems either. I feel so sad and confused about this. next year we ae going to differrent schools and this will be he first year i go to school without her. Im expecting in my mind never to see her again but she doesnt. And the truth is i really dont want to see her again. I dont know what to do for the rest of THIS school year. Please help!

There is a threesome at my school. I'm part of it but they always leave me out. I like both the girls. They always go to each others houses and hang out but I'm never really part of it. In order to get the three of us together I have to plan everything! Plus the two of them have BFF necklaces and braclets! I don't want to stop being friends with them, so please dont tell me to find new friends...help! Frown

Hey girl,

Ouch -- sorry your buds are hanging without you! I'm glad you want to stay friends, but it's never fun to hang out with people who make you feel sad, so talk to them and let them know how you feel! They may not be leaving you out on purpose, and talking to them will let everyone explain her side of the story.

MOD MOD MOD! I've been friends with a girl for a really long time. She's a grade younger than me but the same age. The thing is, I want to still stay friends, but she's really popular now and I'm not. I feel really inferior to her whenever I'm around her, even though I'm older and have better grades. I even caught her cutting class yesterday. She's still nice to me though. She always has a boyfriend and a posse of friends who follow her around. Should I stay her friend?

 

Hey BlueJaye221, as long as she doesn't change I think you two should remain friends. It doesn't sound like she's letting her new popular status affect the way she feels about your friendship, so don't let it get to you either. And don't feel inferior girl. Everyone has something that makes them unique and cool. For her it might be her popular status, while for you it's your awesome grades. Being intelligent gets you way farther in life and brings it's own kind of popularity. Hope this helps!! Xoxo
