Q: Ok so there's this girl who we will call Katie. She's kinda friends with some of my friends (especially the guys) and it feels like she's taking over my life. I heard her calling herself best friends with my best friend even though she realy isn't. She's taking all of my friends and probably talking crap about me (we don't have the best past) and turning them against me. Now she's even coming with us to this thing that was only supposed to be a tight group of friends. What do I do?

I'm not sure what type of girl Katie is, but if she's a pretty nice girl to be around, then maybe you should give this more time. She might be calling your best friend her best friend because she wants to feel like she's in your guy's group of friends.

It's ok to feel like your best friend is being taken away, but you have to start learning that you and your best friend will always have other good friends. Maybe you should talk to your best friend about how you feel about her and Katie and see what she has to say about it.

You could also have a talk with your group of friends and tell them that you suspect Katie might be talking about you badly and you feel like she might be turning them against you.

About this thing, if it was suppose to be just you and your friends, then maybe you should try talking to them about it and see how they feel if they weren't the ones who invited her. Now, if your group of friends talked about this event in front of Katie, then you basically asked for her to come. It would be rude to talk about something big coming up in front of someone whose not going.

My advice would be to talk to these friends about what your fears are about this new friend that's in your group.
