My BFF prefers her summer camp bud to me

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.

OK so my best friend has been acting wired lately like she will get mad at me for jest looking at her phone or talking to someone she doesn't like.then she jest went off and started being friends with my enemy. is it something i did to make her not my friend?

 

Hey girl, no I wouldn't take it personally. Talk to her and see what's going on. She could just need to have a heart to heart.

Hey StellaBella101, no there's nothing wrong with you. It's completely normal to have feelings for a girl, especially if you're really close to her. I think it's sweet that you care about her so much. Some people aren't lucky enough to have friends like you in their life. Is there anyone else you're interested in? Xoxo

I have a huge crush on my girl best friend. I'm bi. I think I live her so I stayed away from her but my feelings didn't go away and I became suicidal. After months I finally apologized to her and we talk again. I know she's straight and who she likes and she knows I'm bi but not who I like. I decided that even If it is killin me on the inside thy she doesn't like me I will be her friend and make sure a guy likes her as humanly close as I like her. Are these feelings okay or is there something wrong with me? Lynae P.

Okay, so, I feel like everyone always sleeps so prettily (girls, of course), but when I sleep, my face is smushed into pillows and stuffed animals and I feel self concious about it. But I feelw eird because that is the only way I can sleep. When I sleep all "Sleeping Beauty" I can't selpp!

Hey girl,

If that's how you're comfortable, don't worry about how you look! No one sees you anyway, so the only thing that matters is your comfort and rest Smile

I'm in fifth grade and I have a crush on this guy. I've known him since first grade. We have inside jokes and give each other looks instead of words during class. I was so sure I was in love until the new girl came along.
During recess, I told her I liked him. She ran up to my guy friend, and told him, who told my crush.
After recess, a bunch of guy friends were prodding me for information and asking me if I like him. "No way!" I would reply. Maybe I hurt his feelings. Or something else.
Heand I are going to the same middle school, so I have another chance.
I really like him and just want to be friends again. What do I do? How can I get him to notice me again?

Hey girl,

It's not your fault that the other girl blabbed, I'm so sorry that happened! If you want to tell him the truth, that might be the best option, but you can tell him you want to be friends again and that you didn't mean for things to get as awkward as they did. He'll understand that it's not your fault! If you're at the same school next year, you'll have plenty of time to be friends again, and I'm sure that after the summer, he'll forget all about what happened Smile
