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.

MOD MOD MOD,
I have alot of great friends and they are awesome. But it just seems like they never invite me to anything. They hang out alot (as in like they spend the whole weekend together and most days after school) and I'm hardly invited. I have this thing in my stomach (an ulcer) and it makes my stomach hurt 24/7, I have headach all the time, am really dizzy and tired all the time too. Is it because people dont want to be around someone who is always in pain? I hardly complain about it. I just want to be invited to hang out or go do something with them because they are my friends. What should I do? I really don't want to just go up to them and say that or ask why I wasn't invited because thats not like us. I just wish they would ask me to hang out or do something with them. Please help!



Hey babe,

Sometimes there's no way to deal with something without facing it head-on.  I think that your best bet is to find a way to have a conversation with them about it.  You won't find an answer without asking them yourself.

Everybody's BFF has lied to them at some point. Just so you know, I'm not trying to crush your feelings but... there are some things that our BFF's just can't trust us with. Well, my BFF is an open book. I know every single detail of her life, up to where she got her first pair of socks from. But some of you girlies are actually really nasty, mean, popular girls like Madi C., Ella B. and Emi M. at my school. So just shut up and get on with your life,'kay?

Hey bubbles3956, this will only be awkward if you make it awkward. Still be friendly to the other twin but just hang out with the one you like. Let them know there aren't any hard feelings. You should be okay girl. Hope this helps!! Xoxo



Mod mod mod!
So I have these 2 friends and they are twins. They just moved into a new house that all the other girls in my class live in and all the girls in my class are pretty mean. Now one of the girls I'm friends with stopped hanging out with me and is hanging out with all of these other girls. Almost every year we get into a fight but now I'm nervous because I just want to friends with one sister! Help! Lynae P.
