My BFF is a liar, liar, pants on fire

  • My best gal is branching out...and I'm not OK with it
One of my best friends lies all the time. No joke. She always makes up stories about her sister and brother (if she even has any). One time I called her house, and she pretended to be her sister. I knew it was her, and she finally ‘fessed up. Is it possible she’s mentally ill? How can I tell her to stop making up stories?

 

Dear Show’s Over, Sister,

She’s probably exercising her vivid imagination because she wishes she had more siblings and adventures. In person or in a note, tell her you like her best when she’s honest with you. Can’t be that direct? Tell her people who make stuff up are hard to trust, and that you like sincere people who tell the truth. Maybe she’ll get the hint. Since she is probably insecure, consider building her up by praising her on qualities you like in her. If she doesn’t change her ways, decide whether to accept her as is or hang out with more believable buds.

you need a best friend because if you keep being friends with her the lying part will grow on you and you'll be lying to people you love.

Look, if you know for a fact that your best friend is a liar, I think you need you need to find a new best friend. It's no use being in bad company.

MOD MOD MOD!
Hey! So I have two sisters, and one is already in college and the other is leaving in the fall! I guess you could say i'm going to be an only child... and i'm FREAKING out. I love my parents, but they can be a little suffocating and I don't know how i'm gonna deal. Thanks in advance...! Sorry this doesn't really have anything to do with this post ..




Hey babe,

It can be a tough transition to have that change - your parents are probably going to feel a bit weird as well! Try talking to them about whatever is bothering you. Ask if you could extend your curfew, or if you could go with your BFF and her fam to the beach for a week! Break up your time with fun activities so you don't have to be stuck at the house all day.

MOD MOD MOD!!!!!
my bff is always lying at school. she doesnt do her homework and is always makig up excuses and involving in them so im left to cover for her.
I dont know what to do shes my bff and i love her to death i dont want to loose her as a friend by i want it to stop

 

hey! your friend is making a liar out of you and it's not ok. she may think this isn't a big deal but you should tell her how you feel. say that you care about her and want to stay friends but the next time she lies and involves you, you won't cover for her. That should help her get her act together. good luck!
