Sick of your sweeties? Hit refresh on your friendship

  • Help! My BFF can't stand my BF
  • My friend sulks if I do better in school than her. Help!
  • 3 times it's OK to tell your bestie's secret
  • 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 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.

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

MOD MOD MOD! All of my friends have best friends. I and an other girl are the only ones without best friends. one of my friend, her family immigrated from a different country, so her friends is there. another one of my friend has best friend that goes to a different school. also there is one of my friend who came to my school this year and her best friend is at her old school. i asked my mom and she said you're too young to have best friends at this age because when you're older you make a real best friend. i thought my friend who immigrated from another country was my best friend and i was hers. is it true that you make a real best friend when you're older and can i still be her best friend although i am not hers?

 

Hey bookworm807, it all really depends on you. Some people make and keep best friends when they're young, others when they're older. I do think it's true, that as you get older you do find out who your true friends are just because you face different situations and challenges. You can always have more than one best friend. I actually have two. I think you can only claim someone as your best friend if they say they're yours. Hope this helps! Xoxo

So since I started middle school, I feel like I grew up but my friends didn't. I do my hair and try to wear the best outfits I can put together (which is harder for me cuz I go to school in a rich area but we have money problems)and started wearing makeup and have had a boyfriend and am making new friends. They haven't though. They almost aren't trying to fit in, not to be overcritical. But sometimes people deside to not be friends with me because my friends are weird, but I'm just as annoyed with them now. My one friend was obbsessed with how she was going to shave her head (which her mom talked her out of much later) and has acne but doesn't care and wears one crazy sock and legit nerd 3d glasses but not as a joke. My other friend has discusting acne everywhere i can barely look at because it oozes this gross yellow stuff sometimes. And her hair is completely broken and really greasy. My other friends have stuff like this too. I just want to make new friends and they hold me back.

BTW, real quick, thanks for helping me out before! OK, well, I like to call MOST of my friends my BFFs... IDK why!! But, there's this 1 girl who I REALLY think is bestie material (besides a couple others). I've told her that she truly is 1 of my best friends and I thanked her for being my friend. But, whenever I say things occasionally like that to her, she, well- doesn't really react! I'm afrad that she doesn't think the same way. But it's confusing! Considering she calls me everyday when she's done with school to see if I can join her on Webkinz or Moshi Monsters or something... She always sends me e-mails... What the heck should I think? It SEEMS she cares quite a bit... but as much as I do?

 

I wouldnt worry about it! If she really talks to you that much and you two are so close then dont worry about the logistics like that. It will just stress you out. xoxo kerra

I believed her at first but it just happened to many time, I still like her but I feel like I am loosing my best friend and i don't know why.

Ok, so I sent an email about this, but idk if it worked. But I'm starting to think I shouldn't be friends with my cousin. She does bad things and we're total oppisites. I mean she cusses and is rude to some of her friends. She has smoked and drank before. And she has done "it" with guys before. Now me I don't do all that. And we don't even really share all that much in common either, like when it comes to books, music, or movies. I'm worried about her like a family member should be. But I'm afraid she's not a good friend or influence for me. If I tell her how I feel, I don't know how she'll react. She can be unpredictable at times....a lot of times. Could you help me by telling me what I should do?




Hey girlie,

The good thing is this - you know you wouldn't be influenced by her! You seem to have a good head on your shoulders, so you know all this stuff isn't for you. It's normal for teens to experiment and wonder about this stuff but, if you're concerned about the amount of "unpredictable" things she's been doing, try talking to your parents or uncle/aunt about it. Tell them you don't want her to know you said something, but you're just concerned and you want someone else to keep an eye on her. Of course, remember that she's free to make her own decisions. Cussing, acting "bad," and even doing it with guys aren't necessarily bad (as long as she's being safe, of course). But drugs and drinking can be serious health dangers, so saying something will help her avoid hurting herself <3 And that's a thoughtful thing to do!

I have a lot of friends, and lots of people are nice to me. But it seems like no one really invites me to hang out anymore, or talks to me about anything going on in their life. I invite people to do stuff, and they come, but I really feel like I just don't have a close relationship with anyone. I don't have any friends that I know I could tell anything to, or who would tell anything to me. I really want close friends but I don't know what to do, help me?




Hey girlie,

You gotta put yourself out there! Your social life is what you make of it. Sure, you might luckily find a friend who makes the first move and always texts you to hang out. But more likely, you'll have to do a little work and invite them to hang out too. That way, you show you're interested, you grow closer, and you develop a stronger friendship. There's no magic way to make friends - it takes dedication, being out-going, and keeping an open mind. So try getting involved in a new activity, chatting with your new friends there, and asking them to hang out outside of the club/sport. Be patient and let some time pass - you'll find yourself clicking with them! <3

My friend is boy obsessed. She constantly has boys shes hitting on. She'll ask me in the morning if she should ask out some guy and then in the afternoon another! Its all she talks about & it gets annoying, even my mom notices and says so to me! We go to a small school too, so she looks everywhere for boys to date, from her neighbors to guys she met over the summer, she always has some fling with a boy. Thats not even the problem though. Shes way too serious about dating. She'll tell a boy she loves him & we're 13!. Shes really clingy to them, and always gets hurt. She swoons over her exes who are, ya know, not so serious 13 yr olds! She'll also post things on her facebook wall like 'forever alone... Frown' because she hasnt had a bf for 3 months! I feel like she could get rly hurt some day & could def be pressured into sumthing if a guy convinced her. Ive nvr had a bf and im totes happy! How can i convince her shes being too serious & doesnt need a guy to be happy?!




Hey girl! It is really annoying to listen to a friend go on and on about boys, especially when you cant contribute much. Just reassure her that she is her own person and dont have to have a boy in her life to be happy. She has her girl friends and those always stick around longer than boys will, especially at 13.

ok well i have two problems. my friend has failed multiple classes 1st and 2nd quarter and I'm afraid she's going to get held back. I've tried talking to her and she just doesn't want to to her homework. I've tried EVERYTHING to get her to get her grades up and she just won't listen! Help me???
And I'm in 8th grade and i live in ohio and I want to get a job as a marine biologist when i'm older. But obviously, there is no ocean near ohio, and i've never been to an ocean. What should i do to get experience?
THANK YOU Laughing




Hey girlie,

1. You need to tell this friend what you're afraid of - that she's going to get held back and that it'll be way harder for you guys to see each other, hang out, and stay super close as friends. Unfortunately though, if she doesn't listen and step up her game, that's her call. You're not her mom so you can't force her to do anything - you just gotta understand that school works better for some people than others...and try to accept that her strengths are in other places <3

2. Try asking your biology/science teachers for supplementary materials, aka books or articles you could read about marine biology! You could also get internships at local aquariums or zoos, which will help give you experience even while far from lakes/oceans Smile

MOD Okay, I have this friend. We were really close last year. And I liked that, because she was always there for me. The thing is, her life situation isn't the greatest. Her brothers are in rehab from drugs, her dad is absent in her life and she cant afford her house. She has had cops at her door several times, and several times I've been dragged into her problems. and i couldn't take them all. slowly we pulled apart. this was last summer. now a few weeks ago, we were chatting on fb and she told me to go on her wall and look at our friendship. then she asked me what happened to it. i said we grew apart, because we did. then she blamed me for it and said we can either be friends or we cant. so i said lets just end the friendship. i feel better now, but its really awkward because i have a lot of classes with her. how do i make it less awkward? what are my next steps? this kinda thing has never happened to before! (sorry it was so long)

 

Hey girl,

 

It sounds like your friend is going through a lot, and is having trouble handling all of the pressure in her life. While it's not your job to take on her problems, she could probably use a friend. You don't have to be involved in her family and personal issues, let her know you're there for her and encourage her to talk with a trusted adult, such as a family member, teacher, doctor or guidance counselor. You can also refer her to this page for additional help: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2008/08/04/HELP!2.aspx

Its really annoying because this girl always follows my girls and and me, and I'm pretty popular and I have a lot of friends, so this isn't that big of a deal, but she always lies! Its so annoying! She says obvious lies and always brags, like I'm a year ahead in math, and she told me that she's a year ahead in math too! But theres only one pre algebra class and I know for a fact that she's not in it with me. When we told her this though, she said, "Um... Um... Well my ... Um.. Teacher said..um.. That I'm in pa .... And I had a choice... So I ... Um... Do both! Yeah! Right!" I really don't want to hurt her feelings but I just want her to stop! She's really not that good of a friend, but just when you're about to tell her off, she buys something for you! I'm not kidding! What to do?!?

MOD MOD MOD! Problems: 1. I feel like i don't fit in 2. I don't know if i should make an effot to be friends with this girl. I'm in my last year of elementary school and i just feel like i don't fit in. I don't have any close friends (BFFS) and feel really left out. I socialize but it's all empty. I don't know if I can last the year without a close friend. I talk to this guy on text (He's my ex and we give eachother advice) But it's just all empty. Now this girl used to be my bff but there was this BIG drama and mutual betrayal so things are awkward. I think her friendship is growing apart because she always hangs with guys. (her boyfriend and might i add the guy i text. my ex)I always have to text her first and she doesn't talks to me at school. Please help me. Let me remind that i'm in elementary so i only have 2 classes. (spanish immersion) thanks.




Hey girl, 1) Everyone feels like that sometimes. Don't let it bring you down too much! 2) I know it's tough, but sometimes you don't need one best friend to be happy, just some close friends. Try to spark up convos with your classmates and get to know different people. Hang in there and just reach out to people. You're going to be OK.

I like this guy that has a gf. I text him alll the time and he always says I love you before he says good night. Last year i told him i liked him and he said he liked me back but he then went out with my friend. Last month he told me he liked me but said he still loved his gf. Now he hasnt flirted with me latley and i have to text him and he responds right away but he doesnt text me first. Should I believe that he likes me? Am i desprete? Am i holding on to something that doesnt exsist? Shold i stop talking to him all together or hold on to our friendship?
Thanks




Hey babe,

It's true that he might like you, but this situation isn't fair to you or his GF. He's trying to have everything he wants - and if you're going to be in a relationship with someone, you cannot flirt/say "I love you" to other girls! He's flirting with you, but you don't have a chance of being with him because he's already taken. Personally, I would still be friends but STOP with the flirting. If he tries to flirt or compliments you, be honest with him: tell him you're not really comfortable talking that way anymore because he isn't single and it doesn't feel right. Be strong about this and tell him how it's going to be! You deserve someone who isn't leading you on. Instead of texting him first/worrying about looking desperate, spend time with your friends making yourself happy. Meet new people, distract yourself with your hobbies, and try to move on a little bit. If he ever breaks up with this girl and is single again, you can start flirting and give it another shot. But in the meantime, respect yourself (and that GF - imagine if you were her and how jealous you would be. yuck!) by taking the high road <3

i go to a small school where there are 25 girls and 25 boys in my class. we have all been at this school since we were 5 and we are stuck in the small cliques we formed years ago. i really cannot stand the girls i used to hang out with but no one will accept that i want to hang out with other people. the other cliques also look at me funny when i ask to sit with them or anything. i feel like i have no friends because my clique is mean to me and the other cliques are mean to me too. i tried hanging out with the guys but it is awkward because two of them like me and their guys clique is the only one i have ever felt comfortable around. also, i play club volleyball and my team is mean to me too and i dont understand why. how do i get away from these people and who should i hang out with?




Hey Girl,

The reason other cliques look at you funny when you ask to sit with them is probably because they aren't used to anything different than the norm! In such a small school, people are used to things just being the way they are, and it's up to you to change it up. Keep trying with other cliques, and don't give up when it's awkward at first. I'm sorry you have to deal with mean people, but often times, girls and boys get less cliquey when they get to high school. Also, you might want to try doing things outside of your school, like try a volleyball team that isn't through your school.

She has the same lunch period as me and is in the same"Block"as a really good friend of mine from band (B).I then introduced them to each other.Since the school year has started B and E have become really good friends.As in, whenever we all each lunch together(We eat lunch with other people 2)E always grabs the seat next to her and goes: "B! Sit here!"Or if someone sits next to her,she'll say:"I wanted B to sit there.""Which is ridiculous considering how old we are.it just sounds really childish.It also kinda offends me and the other girls.She always is trying to pick fights.And tell the other girls and I what we"Should"do with our hair/clothes.She really wants to be in B and I section in band next year.She is constantly annoying the older girls on the team about it,and they are really mad at her.She can be nice to me,but mean too




Hey girlie,

Try not to let any jealousy about the B&E friendship make you think she's worse than she actually is! Sure, it's annoying that she's making fashion suggestions, but it's your choice whether or not you follow them. Next time she says something like that, just shrug and say, "Eh, I'll decide what to wear myself." In this subtle way, let her know you're your own person and that her suggestions aren't really needed - she'll feel silly and will probably stop saying it so much. As for having to have B around all the time, if they're close friends it's kinda understandable. You'd wanna catch up with your bestie at lunch and have her close by to chat too! Plus if B was annoyed by it, she would make it stop. But she's clearly part of the friendship too, so try not to judge. And the band thing - if she keeps bringing it up, say something nicely like, "We have no control over it, so it's not worth worrying about. Just enjoy this year!" There are ways to tell her how you feel but in a friendly, indirect way. Give these a go! And try to be a little more tolerant of her quirks - everyone has them and no one is perfect, but that doesn't make her bad.

ok well my bf and i have been "dating" for about 4 or 5 weeks. i say "dating" cause we r only 13 and we haven't gone out on a date. anyway my problem is that when we first became a couple i was happier then ever and i would get these butterflies in my tummy whenever we talked or texted. and for some reason those butterflies have gone away...i feel nothing when he tells me he loves me...i think its cause we are out for thanksgiving break and i haven't seen him in a few days. i don't think that my parents will let me go out on a date. i don't want to break up w/ him but the "relationship" is getting boring.




Hey girlie,

Of course, your feelings about the relationship are going to change as you get more comfy in it. You aren't feeling those butterflies because you're more comfortable around him and are more familiar with the whole dating situation. When everything is brand new, you get nervous/excited just because! But now you have to work a little harder to keep that spark. Can you organize a group hangout at the movies, bowling, mall, etc.? That way, it's not a "date," but you'll still get to see him and remind yourself about all the things you like about him Smile You could also Skype chat, talk on the phone, text...keep in touch and try not to panic. This is totally normal! It's possible he might not be the right one for you, but you can't freak out without giving it a try first <3

i know this is off topic but how do u do your hair like the girl in the picture?
p.s. i have a longer than shoulder length hair.




Hey girlie,

First, gather about a two inch section of hair in the front middle of your head (like where your bangs would be, if you had them) and about two inches back from your hairline. (Adjust the depth of this section for how big you want the "poof" to be.) Brush it to the front and let it hang. Gather the back of your hair in a messy-but-chic ponytail and secure with a hair tie. Then, go back to that chunk in the front. Take a section in the back of that portion, separate it, spritz with hairspray, and use a comb to tease it (comb down towards the root quickly to give it volume). Toss that towards the back for now, then take another small section, spritz, and tease. Do this until there's one straight, normal section left at the very front. Pull all of the teased hair back into that poof, then secure at the back of your head with bobby pins. Then, comb the straight section at the very front over the teased poof, smoothly towards the back of your head. Pin that at the back too. Finally, take out the first ponytail and do another ponytail, including this hair too. Spray with hairspray to secure!

Next semester, my first class changes, and as of right now, I don't know anyone that's in it! I'm worried I won't know anyone! This exact thing happened to me freshman year, and I don't want it to happen again. What do I do?




Hey girl,

You're not a freshman anymore, so don't freak out! You're older, you know how to make it through this whole "high school" thing, and you know you can be social enough to make friends in any class, whether you know anyone or not. Don't believe me? Just keep telling yourself this until you believe it! Go in and act confident, then make small talk with your classmates before/after/during class. Look at this as a chance to expand your social circle and make new friends!!!!! It's not a bad thing if you stay positive about it Smile

I so badly want a facebook account!!!
All of my friends have one, which is pretty much why I want one. They'll just start cracking up about something, and when I ask them what it is, they'll be like, "it was on facebook"
The problem is, my parents won't let me get one! They think it'll become an obsession, my grades will drop, someone will cyber bully me, etc.
SO HOW CAN I CONVINCE THEM TO LET ME GET ONE????
thanks so much Smile

MOD MOD MOD ok, so a lot of my friends think i would go great with my bgf... but i don't like him that way! they think "oh, u 2 would be great together." and its really annoying, especially since Friday, he dislocated his knee cap (and i witnessed DX)and i kinda freaked out about it so they think i like him A LOT. how do i let them know that i don't without sounding like i do like him?

 

Hey missy, this may sound weird, but the more you argue with them and say you don't like him, the more it seems like you do like him. Whenever they tease you go along with it. Say "Yup you guys are right. I do like him." That will defintely catch them off guard and will make them stop teasing you. Hope this helps! Smile Smile

MOD MOD MOD! Is there something wrong with me? I was depressed last Christmas, so I had no cheer. [The excited, anticipated feeling that I get close to Christmas] And I did everything you can do to be excited for Christmas. This year I'm just now getting out of my depression and I don't have any Christmas cheer, at all. [I usually get it hardcore around this time of year] I'm not excited for anything. What can I do to help this? Is it because of my depression?

 

Hey girly, it probably is your depression. You may need to see a therapist to figure out what's making you feel this way, it has to be something. Let your parents know and get them to help you find someone who can help. Feel better girl! Smile Smile

MOD MOD MOD i like this guy, and i just found out he likes me back. the only problem is i dont think i like him enough to go out with him. also i have a bgf, and i cant help but think we see eachother as more than friends and dont wanna admit it. what should i do?




Hey girl, it's tough to say, but follow your heart on this. I'd give this new guy a chance: let him take you on a date or get to know him more, and then see what your heart is saying. As for the BGF, it's natural to feel like you might like him more because you spend so much time with him, but be careful. Make sure you really like him like him rather than like the idea of dating your best friend.

Does anyone know why the coments to Moderators always take so long to post?




Hey girl, it really depends on how many people are posting and what time of day it is. Mods sleep too so if you're posting after 1 AM EST, your comment won't be approved until at least 9 AM.

My best friend thinks my life revolves around her.If I don't sit with her at lunch she gets mad,if we don't wal up the stairs together she gets mad and if I hang with my other homies she gets mad.She says I never wait on her after class!I"M USUALLY THE LAST ONE OUTTA THERE!!!!PLEASE HELP!!!




Hey girl, tell her that while you appreciate her and your friendship, you feel like you need a little space too. Don't be afraid to hang out with other people or show through your actions that while you like her as a person, there are other friends in your life too and she has to share you with them.
