10 things a best friend should never, ever do

 

Check these out, too...

  • My bestie isn't acting like a very good friend
  • Help! My BFF can't stand my BF
  • My friend sulks if I do better in school than her. Help!
  • 3 times it's OK to tell your bestie's secret
  • Girl Code: Is it OK to date your BFF's crush?
You love your bestie. If you didn’t, she wouldn’t be your BFF, right? But just ‘cause she’s your numero uno doesn’t mean she can do no wrong. Here are 10 things your best girl should never, ever, ever do. Ever.

 

Make you feel guilty

 

Make you feel bad about yourself

 

Not be there when you need them

 

Tell you you’re stupid

 

Abuse you. No “playful” smacks. No emotional abuse. Ever.

 

Steal your friends or boyfriend. No, it’s never OK

 

Throw you under the bus

 

Leave you hanging

 

Lie to you in a huge way

 

Share your secrets…unless it’s something important an adult needs to know about
 
 
What's your number-one not-OK thing a bud should never do?

Thanks for the advice, but I forgot to mention one thing-my clingy friend is pretty popular. Anymore advice?

 

Hey girlie, try telling her no. When she saves you a seat at lunch just tell her that you want to sit with your other friends that day. If you do it once a week or so, it's enough to start giving you some freedom without making her feel bad about it. Hopefully she'll respond well and be open to you hanging out with other people.

I have lots of friends at school and out of school. They are all nice and fun to be around-except one. She never lets me hang out with any of my other friends, she is always early to lunch so that she can save me a seat right next to hers, and she acts like we are attached at the hip. It's really annoying. I want her to stop being so clingy, but I don't know how to let her know without hurting her feelings-because if her feelings get hurt, she will start a rumor about me and get people to turn their backs on me. Help!

 

Hey girlie, why don't you try introducing her to more of your other friends. She's probably being clingy because you're her only friend and she doesn't have anyone else to hang out with. So if you introduce her to more people, she'll feel more confident socially and won't rely so heavily on hanging out with you and just you.

When I started middle school, I didn't have many friends. I am a loner and am really quiet. I met 4 girls that I soon became best friends with. Well today when I was eating lunch with 3 out of 4 of them, I was kinda stalking them for fun, but not in a mean way. They called me a stalker. When I went up to them before our next classes after lunch began, they didn't know I was there and I said, "Hi," and they kept calling me a stalker. I feel like they are judging me because I am quiet. It wasn't my fault that they didn't know I was there. I told my friend that didn't eat with us that day about it and she said that basically became their own group, that's why she stopped eatting with us. She told me that real friends don't do that and that I should ignore them. The reason why I became a loner and a quiet person is because I have had past friendships that were destroyed by drama. So much drama that I can't stand it anymore.

MOD MOD MOD I'm extremely worried about my best friend! She has a bad home life&not a good relationship with her parents&they tend to overwork her&I'm pretty positive she's suffering from exhaustion. This has led to so many problems, she has appetite issues, like sometimes she just doesn't get hungry all day, &she's been getting sick randomly. Her parents don't let her get proper help with injuries, &there's a long list of them, even soemthing I was convinced was a concussion! Her parents, especially her mom, push the health issues&her exhaustion aside&continues to expect her to get perfect grades, succeed in her sports (everyday of the week!),&if she doesn't, her mom screams at her&it's gotten physical once. It's a lucky night if she actually sleeps inside the house. She's the type of girl who doesn't tell people her problems, I'm the only person who really knows the extent of this. She is completely uncomfortable with talking to her counselor...I just don't know what to do anymore!

Hey girl, continue to encourage your friend to talk with the counselor or with another adult she trusts.  Here is a link with some resources that might be helpful.  Also, you could suggest she call the Nineline, an anonymous counseling hotline (1-800-999-9999), to talk about some of the issues she's having at home.  If your friend's situation becomes overwhelming to you, it's okay for you to see a guidance counselor at school too, just to talk about how you're feeling.  Best of luck!

MOD! MOD! MOD! help me! me my bff have been friends 6 years , last year we both saw this cute guy. We both have crushes on him (we both know that). this year, someone asked her out (a dare) for that guy! she said yes and didnt tell me.... till the word got around. i ran and started crying, my 2 other friend followed me and tried to make me feel better. It hurts me that the fact my best friend and my ENOURMOUS crush are going out. i think about it every day (serious)! i cry about everyday!! what do i do??!?! i try "flirting" around him, and i try to act funny and cute around him too. please reply soon!

Hey girlie,

i know it's really hard, but try to be happy for your friend! Even though you like him too, your friendship is stronger than what you feel for any guy, and deep down you want her to be happy. Plus, you should never flirt with a guy who has a girlfriend, even if you have liked him for a while! Try being supportive of her and keeping your eyes open for other cuties who are available Smile Check out this article for more tips on what to do when you and a friend like the same guy! http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/12/02/Boy-or-bestie.aspx
