let them make their mistake and be the better person and just go to church. don't fall into their stupidity!

honestly, it takes her strength inside to break down the walls and open up to you. all you can do is listen and let her know how much you love & care about her and even try being REALLY open with her to encourage her, once she gains your complete trust i bet she will open it. it takes alot for some people to open up, but in time if they feel comfortable with themselves and others, it can always happen.

sounds to me like a problem thats way too common these days: she has extreme low confidence. i know so many girls who have gone through the exact same thing because they simply just did not feel good about themseleves and would take any kind of love they can get, even if the guy is a jerk. your friend is most likely defending him because she doesnt wanna admit the truth, and even though its messsed up, she still feels some sort of love from him and thats all she needs to feel good about herself. but trust me..this CAN change! those same girls i knew..alot of them have gained SO MUCH confidence and now only date truly nice guys. so what im saying is..you guys have got to help her realize how truly great she is inside..and help her every day learn to love herself mroe and more..what she needs is strength & it comes from within her, but you guys can guide her. sit her down and tell her that you really really care about her so much and that this is only gonna mess up her life..tell her to think about her future and who she wants to be with..and also just let her know how amazing she is and that if she begins to love herself..all of this can stop. she'll realize she really CAN get better and NEEDS to leave that guy behind! over time, she will hopefully get strong enough to dump him! hope i helped

gather all your confidence, and one day just start up a conversation. a compliment is the best way to get her attention at first! us girls love a simple one like "you look pretty today, or "i like your outfit" just be brave and talk to her any chance you get, ive become friends with SO many guys because theyve simply introduced themselves. and trust me she'll be open to getting to know you..you sound like a genuine nice guy and so just make small talk and then day by day get to know her more and more. then you could try getting her screename or myspace. and dont be afraid to let her know you wanna get to know her, girls LOVE to hear that. "hey we should hang out sometime" is a perfect thing to say. i hope it all goes okay and dont worry about who she hangs out with, by the end of highschool were all friends anyway

thats rude of your friends to say. she loves you and is trying to protect you, its a natural mother thing. how old are you? as you get older, she'll loosen up. try sitting her down and telling her they truly are JUSt your friends but be nice about it!

well the best thing to do is just simply listen..let them know you care and try to put yourself in those shoes and then go from there..just positive encouragement and understanding and caring is where to start and then try your best to imagine yourself in the same situation..like the other people said just follow your heart!

popularity should have absolutely nothing to do with a friendship. if youre a true friend, you should accept her for who she is and always stay her friend no matter what. in reality, popularity is just a waste of time. having true friends and true happiness is billions times better.

complaining about your life may actually make her feel worse,because she wants to hear positive things, ya know? it's not necessary to relate to her completely..sometimes all that you need to do is listen and tell her that youll always be there when she needs someone. just try putting yourself in her shoes and then it may be easier to know the right things to say. just encourage her that for every painful experience there are a million amazing experiences to make up for it, and that everything will be okay in the end. complimenting her will also help her feel better. just support her and always listen. sometimes thats all a girl needs.

you dont have to be good friends with him..but honestly..you should talk to him ..say something nice to him..make him feel appreciated..even just asking how hes doing and smiling everyday can make a difference!little things would mean alot to him.. i promise you that..WHY ARE PEOPLE SO MEAN?! ugh! next time you see someone being mean to him you should say something to stop them or at least distract them..dont worry about what people think about you!! their opinion means nothing! being nice to him will make you feel really good about yourself also, because unlike the people being mean to him, you made a positive influence in his life. youre caring and thats a very good quality and i think you should always embrace it! by making him feel cared about, you could seriously change his life.. i know that sounds dramatic but i've learned from experience cause a guy i knew was the same way. you have a good heart and thats definetely something to be proud of

no you should never change in order to be like someone else! being outgoing and hyper is actually a good thing, because youre enjoying life and having fun without holding back! i think you should stay the way you are because being fun is a desirable quality.i doubt you'll annoy people unless you are purposely doing something to others so dont worry about that.! if you feel like youre being TOO hyper, just try to contain it inside and focus on talking to your friend.maybe your friend will be influenced by you and wont be so shy anymore and thats a really good thing!!

The key is to be friendly! smile and tell them your name and once you exchange names you could talk about the certain place youre at, or ask questions about their lives, etc. Complimenting is always a VERY easy way to get to know someone! As long as you present yourself in a friendly way and dont seem uptight or distant..meeting people can be pretty easy! Once you get to know some people..try to make plans with them because spending time together is what makes a friendship begin.
