How to call it quits with a cool girl

 

Check these out, too...

  • How can I turn my attitude around?
  • Girl Code: Is it OK to date your BFF's crush?
  • Flirts with you but likes a popular girl? Here's what to do
  • I don't want to leave my friends behind when school ends
  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
I was hoping to make some popular friends in school. Finally, this cool girl became my friend, and I was really happy. Then, she got mad at me for no reason and called me names. I want to end our so-called friendship, but I don’t know how. If I’m too harsh, her whole group will hate me.

 

Dear Frustrated:

It’s better to have a true friend than a popular acquaintance. But, rather than dump the girl and have an enemy, you’re better off being less obvious about your change of heart. Sit with other girls at lunch, and make after-school plans with others. If she confronts you, say, “Of course, I have other friends, and so do you.”

Hello. so Im gonna try to keep it short, but basically, i have never been more depressed in my life than I am right now. I was recently accepted to college, but my progress report came in the mail the other day and there were two D's on it and now my thinks Im not ready for college and she is threating to not pay for it. she is also saying I cant go to prom, grad night, or any of the upcoming trips. also she said i wont be able to go to summer camp. these are the only things that have been making me happy in the past few months and she has taken them away from me. this is completely out of my control and i dont know what to do. Please give me any advice that you can

Hey girl,

There is something you can do -- it was only a progress report, not a final report card, so there's still time to meet with your teachers and see what you can do to get your grades up! Offer to do extra work and makeup assignments, and study more for tests than you've done in the past, especially if you've got extra time without going to certain events! Your mom can also meet with your teachers about your progress, and they'll likely tell her you should still go to college. Do you have friends in either of those classes? Set up a study date so you can still see your friends while studying! If you're feeling really depressed, though, you should speak with a teacher or guidance counselor for advice on how you're feeling. This link also has hotlines and resources you can explore for advice and help! http://www.girlslife.com/post/2008/08/04/HELP!2.aspx

all of the "popular" girls at my school are nice. but some of them just act nice and then try to embarrass/gossip about you, and some of them are genuinely nice and fun to hang out with.

the popular girls at my school are nice enough but they gossip way too much so I don't like to really hang out with them too much. But some of them are truly nice. Most are just understood.

MOD!!
lately ive been feeling really alone in the world. I dont have too many friends. Some of them are reliable, but a lot of them arent. They tend to not really care about me all that much. And i want a bf. All i hear from my friends is "me and my bf...." or "i miss him" or something like that, and its tickin' me off.Its like all they care about. And then i try to ask my one friend advice on boys and she calls me "boy crazy". She even started ranting about me to my bgf 9who told me everything) because she was "having a bad day". i forgave her, but im still mad about it. I just dont want to keep feeling like im the only one. What do i do?

 




Hey! I felt the exact same way you did when I was younger and you know what? it got better. I'm actually really glad now that I didn't have a bunch of insignificant bfs in middle school and high school. You'll meet someone really substantial when you're older. Good guys are worth the wait. You don't need a boyfriend to validate you. Read books, have fun, and get to know who YOU are before you worry about boys. I promise you will meet someone one day.
