My BFF prefers her summer camp bud to me

 

Check these out, too...

  • 3 times it's OK to tell your bestie's secret
  • Girl Code: Is it OK to date your BFF's crush?

 

Last summer, my best friend for nearly all my life found a new friend at camp. It wasn’t so bad, at first, but she always talks about writing and calling her, and how she can’t wait to see her this summer. She says it to my face! Should I tell her how I feel?

 

 

Dear Betrayed,

Two of my favorite things about being an adult are that we don’t mind when friends have other friends and that no one tries to rub it in. Have you really been betrayed? Your sister didn’t steal your boyfriend. Your parents didn’t give away your room. Your neighbor didn’t post your secrets on Facebook. True, your friend made another friend, but that’s not so bad—what’s bat is that she’s boasting about it and that you’re letting it get to you.

 

Try to be honest with her and say, “Look, I know you’re excited to see your camp friend, but enough already.” Also, why not work harder to make your own new friends? Even if it’s too late to join chorus or try out for the play, it’s never too late to say hi to a girl in chemistry lab or invite the new girl over for a couple of movies and some popcorn.

I hate seeing my panty lines when I'm wearing yoga pants. Should I ask my mom if I can wear a thong? How could I bring up the subject of wanting to wear a thong? What do I say?




Hey Girl!

I feel ya-thongs are definitely necessary to avoid panty lines. Bringing up thongs with your mom can be awk, but you need to talk to her about it. She might be a little surprised (no mom wants their daughter to grow up too quick), but she'll listen. Bring it up by saying you need to go underwear shopping. Mention you want a thong and tell her the real reason why: to prevent panty lines. She should understand.

how do you know if a mod has answered a question



Hey girlie,

You gotta' go back to the page/article you asked it on and if it's there, it should have a mod answer.
  If it's not there, then they likely haven't gotten a chance to answer that one. Jordan S.

Please help me. My friends father went to rehab recently and she has to move far away to live with her mom now and leave me. I really don't want to tell my parents about this because she is very upset about it and embarassed but it seems like something I have to do. I'm afraid my parents won't let me hang out with her anymore and am thinking about not telling them. Is this an okay desicion? Please help me I'm really confused.




Hey Girl,

i'm sorry to hear about your friend's situation. Your parents may be more understanding than you think. While they may not be okay with you visiting her. I'm sure they'd let your friend visit you. 




Best of luck
