I have a friend who hangs out with me when we are in class and since we have a locker right next to eachother she hangs out with me. But when she is around certain "friends" she acts really mean to mean and ignores me. Sometimes I feel like i'm not her friend and sometimes i feel like we are best friends, What should I do?

Slap her.

I am being deadly serious.


I am throwing my best friend a surprise party. She's a girl, 16. I already sent out the invitatations to all of her girlfriends, but I can't decide if I should invite boys or not. She is not friends with very many guys, and the 3 or 4 she is friends with may not even all be friends with each other (I don't really know all of them well). I don't know if I should invite them or not, because they aren't even people she hangs out with outside of school, and I don't know if it would be awkward for them to be there. However, I think that the party should have boys, I mean we are 16 years old. What should I do? (link)
Girls can have a lot of fun without boys ;)


ok, right, i have this friend who writes really good poems and they're REALLY good,not like just good, but REAALY good, with capital letters, but she wont show them to people and stuff and wont put them on her website type thing...and i think she is depriving the world of valuble insight and entertainment....

what should i do?

I am also boredddd..... (link)
Shhh. You sound like your sister :p


my friend is beinng really rude & saying mean stuff about me what should i do? (link)
Slap her with a fish.


Ok. my friend and I have a rather odd relationship. We're good friends, and we talk all the time online, but we feel like we can't talk when we see each other because his other friends are there, and 3 out of the 4 of them that are there really don't like me for reasons I don't know. They don't like it that he even callls me a friend and I know, that sounds really stupid. I personally am not terribly worried about peer pressure, I'm pretty cool under it, but he's not. He lets things get to him. We're both kind of sick of hiding that we're friends, but telling the other guys to get over it won't help. The other guys think that's it terrible that he's friends with my best friend, (they don't like her much either) and both he and I know that they'd REALLY hate it if they knew that he was friends with me.
Any ideas of how to be able to admit we're friends, and not have anyone get hurt at all? (link)
Ah, the wonders of the internet and how it doesn't translate so well into real life.

Deal with it. It's how life works. Silly little teenage friendship politics isn't important, and that you can be friends with whoever the hell you want. Just admit it. Or you could let it all come out in some big scandalous rumour, and then 4 months down the line realise that your friendship groups have now joined up and oh how ironic that is...


my friends used to not get along. now they do and they keep leavin me out and ignoring me.we used to all ring each other up now those to ring each other up but they dont ring me. The go to town wiv out even asking if i wanna go wot can i do (link)
You need to talk to them both about how they are making you feel - chances are they haven't even realised that they are constantly leaving you out. Why don't you ring them both up and arrange some fun stuff to do together, that's sure to remind them what great fun you are to have around =) And look at the bright side, it's great that you all get along now, it's got to make life a lot less awkward.


My best guy friend of 3 years asked me something really weird last week and I just can't stop forgetting it. We were hanging out w/ his friend, and we somehow started talking about the fact that a guy in my math class was looking down my shirt. Then my guy friend told me to bend over, jokingly. I was like "only if you pay me" sarcastically. Then he was like "I'll give you $6 if you give me a lapdance!!!!" And then his friend offered to give me $10 for one. I refused, of course, cuz that's just gross. I still can't get over that, though. I feel really disrespected. What should I do about it? (link)
Guys can be pigs when they want to. Ignore them and they'll soon shut up.


ok so I have these friends and I tell them to stop asking boys out for me , but they keep at it,
and every guy hates me now (that I know) how can I get them to stop???
Thanks JayJay wb asap (link)
Honestly hunny, it's just because nothing is going on in their love lives, they feel the need to interfere in other peoples. They are pissing you off big time. So tell them. Loudly, and cleary. Make sure you get the message across.


I was always a dork through middle school, and so I picked up a lot of dorky friends. Recently, I've become somewhat popular, and have picked up quite a few new (though no-less-dorky) friends. Through some weird twist of fate, my two groups of friends all happen to know each other. It really is a small world, isn't it? Anyway, I love all my friends dearly, but some of them don't get along with each other. I'd like to have a birthday party and have them all over, but I know it would be awkward since they all have different interests, and some of them don't get along. I know I shouldn't be friends with them if they don't value me enough to *try* to get along, but it may be the last chance I have to see some of them, and I'd like all of them to have a good time. Do you have any ideas on some activites I could set up to appease both my normal friends and my video-game/computer nerd friends? What could I say to my friends that don't get along? Should I have two separate parties?! None at all?!?! (link)
First of all, do what you want at your party. You shouldn't have to appease everyone else it's your party! Do invite them all if you want them there. But have a word with each group seperately first, explain that other friends will be at the party, and that you would really appreciate it if they would try to get along just for one evening. If they are real friends they will.


i think i may like one of my good boy friends but im not sure if he likes me how do i find out and how do i respond (link)
I would be wary of this. As much as you think it could, once romance has had a look in there is rarely a friendship left in tact at the end of it. Having said that, if you really do like him, it's going to make you miserable being around him if you want to be more than friends. If he's a good friend, just talk to him. The worst that can happen is that he only likes you as a great friend - and that's not so bad.


A girl at my school is what you call the school slut. She is always in the bathroom with a guy making out. What should I do?? (link)
Well...it has nothing to do with you, so stay out of it ;) Not to be mean here, but it really doesn't concern you right now. If that's how she wants to live her life, it's her business not yours.


In our school, we have teams that everyone is seperated on each year. We dont usually associate with the other teams. This year my best friend and I were put together...but next year, we won't be. I know everyone says that I will make new friends, but it is the hardest thing in the world, because I will never see the person that means the most to me! What can I do? I feel really empty inside...I can't live without seeing her everyday! We won't be in the same hallway or anything, not even the same classes! Now what? (link)
Just because you wont see each other in school, doesn't mean you can't still be friends. It may even make you stronger. And it may be a good thing that you get to make some new friends. You can never have too many :)


O.K there is this boy that likes me. I don't like him but I feel bad... Like how do I say no without hurting his feelings? I had already told him no but he keeps asking me out... I need help! (link)
Honestly, if he likes you that much there is no way of doing it without hurting him, but it's got to be done. Giving him false hope or stringing him along is worse than just giving it to him straight - you'll be doing him a favour in the long run by just telling him. Find a time and place when no one else is around - you don't want to humiliate him in front of his friends or peers. Sit him down and explain that even though he is a great guy, and you're very flattered, you just don't think of him in that way. Make sure you get the message across.


I have this friend and she is moving to Kentucky and I do not know what to do.She is like my best friend and I dont want her to go because I will miss her too much and she is soo happy about going but she is so worried about her boyfriend.I mean she is so ...I dont have a boyfriend and was thinking of taking him when she moves.I personlly think that I am acting weird for one.Is this normal?why do want to take her boyfriend away from her at the end of the year?
signed,
good-bye and hello
(link)
Sounds to me like you are trying to seek revenge on your friend for leaving you, and you feel that by taking her boyfriend you will have done that. It's not the right way to go. Talk to her, tlel you're going to miss her loads. Arrange to write, talk on the phone and the internet, and meet up lots. Just because she's moving away, it doesn't mean the two of you still can't be friends. And why not get her a great goodbye present, like a video of all her friends, or throw her a big party. Let her know how much she means to you.


Okay, I do one thing wrong and where does it get me? IN A HOLE. WHERE NONE OF MY FRIENDS LIKE ME! I have 1 friend now. Her name is Ellie. See, I did one mistake to Sabrina. Now she is mad at me. Then all of her best friends which happen to be mine too hate me. (Sabrina, Amanda, Bella, Monica, Rosalie, and Samantha) What can I do to get my friends to like me again? (link)
If they are behaving this way towards you, then to be perfectly honest, they probably aren't worth the trouble. Have fun with Ellie, and make some new friends. Tell your so-called other friends that you are really sorry for the "mistake" you made, but that you can do nothing more than apologise, and if they are not willing to accept that, they really aren't worth your time. If they are true friends, they will see how much this is upsetting you, and forgive you. If not, then at least you know now, and you don't have to keep crying over split friendships.


When 2 of your friends are fighting and your in the middle stuck and dont know what side to choose on what do you do? Like one person would want me to sit with them and the other one would be like lets all move away from her and i dont know what to do i mean i am friends with all of them but they make it seem like it is wrong to hang out with that person just b/c that person is different and people already make fun of her behind her back and everything. I am stuck in the middle so what do i do ? (link)
You know what? Don't sit with either of them. And refuse to take sides. They will be pissed off with you for a while, sure, but it's the only way. Tell them, calmly, that you don't want to be a part of their argument, and untill they sort it out you are going to stay neutral. If one of them needs a shoulder to cry on, be there. If one of them needs someone to listen, be there. But don't take sides, it'll only work out worse in the end.


I have liked this guy for a really long time and i really want to go out with him. He really likes me too. The problem is neither one of us is brave enough to ask the other one out. So do you think i should make the first move or wait for him. I hear him talking about me all the time. What should i do? (link)
There is absolutely nothing wrong with a girl making the first move. Hell, we're in the 21st century, us girls can do anything ;) And it seems as if there's pretty much no way he can say no, so go for it. Good luck!
