Q: There's this girl in my grade. She really doesn't have any friends, except she persists to hang out with me and the rest of my friends. She's ALWAYS complaining about how fat she is. I tell her that she is not obese, but she merely says, "Oh, God, just shutup, will you? Of course I'm fat." Sometimes I tell her she's not like those obese people, but sometimes I don't say anything. Then she'll say, "So you agree. You think I'm fat?" She gets very much on my nerves. Except the thing is, she kinda is fat. Just like super super chubby, but it's not like she's really obese. Just how do I respond when she complains about her weight?
Thanks. Sorry it is so long, but I really need help. I would really appreciate it.

She's fishing for compliments and reaffirmation. If you give it to her, she can't take it graciously because she has some emotional issues. This girl really just needs some love, friendship and support. Be the bigger person and help her a little. The next time she says she's fat, tell her that if she says it again, you'll beat the crap out of her for insulting your friend, even if she IS that friend. That ought to make her realize both that she's annoying you, and that you're her friend.
