ADVICE | FRIENDS

Make your frenemy a true-blue bestie

 
Ever had a frenemy who you secretly want to be best buds with?  Sure you disagree about things now and then or argue over boys, but way down deep, you two are one of the same. Crossing the friendship line with some people may seem downright impossible, but surprisingly enough, it’s really not that hard. Here are our tricks:


Find a common middle ground
Both of you have an affinity for sports? A love for shopping? A fondness for pets? Take it from there and plan to hang out doing whatever that connection is.  Two gals who dig sports can go to their school’s home game, the ones who love digging through the racks can take a trip to the mall and you pet lovers can volunteer at an animal shelter together.

Figure out what had you two butting heads to begin with
Your disagreements had to begin somewhere, babe. Your biggest task is overcoming those differences so that you can become real BFFs. Tackle ‘em head on with a face-to-face chat. Is it over boys?  Lay down some guy guidelines. Feel like one of you never properly listens to the other? Talk it out! 

Fake it ‘till you make it
 If you act like you’re best friends and spend more time around each other, then you’ll gradually grow closer without even trying. If it makes you feel uncomfortable being by yourself with her when you’re not quite friends yet, go for a group outing type of thing.  Invite a bunch of your girls out to the movies.  But be sure to sit next to the frenemy and chat her up while you’re out. Before you know it, your probs with this new-found pal will be history!

Blog it in, babes.  Have you got a frenemy you want to turn friend?  Or is it too far gone to try?

I'm working right now on turning my frenemy into my friend. We didn't like each other very much because we both play flute and things are very competitive in band.

Hey Girl! 

Friends who always talk about their new boy can be hard to handle sometimes. It can be a new and exciting time for them, and they may forget about their old friends. Tell her how your feeling, hopefully she'll come to realize that she needs to balance time with her friends and boyfriend.

Okay...there is this innocent girl at my school, Sandy, and everybody likes to make fun of her. People scream if something of hers touches them or their property, talk a lot behind her back, and call her names. They have even started a thing at school that is kind of a game called the "Sandy touch"! I am one of her only friends. I don't know why everybody hates Sandy. I am so sad, annoyed and angry at everyone picking on Sandy! I try to speak up, but then people just don't listen. They always say, "I know that it would be mean to do to someone else, but she's Sandy, so she's an exception." or something stupid like that. I get so angry! What can I do to help Sandy?

Ok, so I am in a really small private school, and out of the 16 girls, the 2 most popular girls hate me. One of them (lets call her Sam) spreads rumours about me and tells the other one( lets call her Kim) to make her hate me too!! Recently, Sam told Kim that I called her a b-! I didn't though!! So, she called me and told me that she thinks its really rude. In response, I told her she heard me wrong and i would NEVER do that! I asked her who told her that and she didn't want to tell me because it would "start more drama". What do I do? I want to know who said that so I can confront HER instead of Sam.




Hey girlie,

If Sam has already started rumors about you before, she clearly likes the attention and likes to "stir the pot" by causing drama. You could trust her and believe she heard this from someone else... but her reputation isn't great, so personally I'd be suspicious that she made the rumor up herself. Whatever you do, don't go poking around trying to find out who said this in the first place. Because she's actually right - it WOULD start more drama! The best thing to do is just shrug your shoulders and move on. You can't please everyone, and people are going to talk no matter what. The best thing to do is make sure they know you don't let it bother you! <3 If you're cool and calm about it (and just keep to yourself), they'll lose interest in making up all these silly rumors.
