My friend always gets rrealy mean when she's talking to her boyfriend. Whether it's online, or on the phone, she's just always really mean to me. I've tried thinking of why she might be doing it, but the only reason I could come up with is that she's trying to make herself look better. I'd like to think my friend was different but people can surprise you. My question here is what do I do?

I think you're right- she's probably rude to you to make herself look better. I'm betting she has self-confidence issues and wants to look cool in front of her boyfriend, so she uses you to do so. That's not cool.
She might be doing this unintentionally, but I would ask her about it. It hurts to be used to make someone else look better. I would confront her in a non-challenging, casual way and just ask her if she's ever noticed herself doing this. Don't get mad at her or she'll get defensive. Just tell her how you're feeling and ask her to make a conscious effort to stop doing it.
good luck. =]

Same girl I've mentioned in another on my posts.. Anyway, today we got see to hang out for a few for the first time, prior to today we would just chat on the computer.. I was really looking forward to hanging out with her, and I had a great time except now it's all over and I really don't know when I'll get to see her again, and it's killing me.. She goes to public school, I'm homeschooled and I just don't get to see her much needless to say, and her parents are still "iffy" about me and more then likely do not trust me, but I've known her parents for about a year now..

Any idea on what I could do to fix this blah feeling or perhaps try to gain the trust of her parents so we could hang out more? I just would like to see her again and talk to her some more in person.. It's much better then chatting on the computer.. I really do love this girl, she's my first girl I've really liked and there is something about her I adore.. It just sucks when I can't see her..

Thanks in Advance!

She's a lucky girl to have you, seriously.
On the parent situation, I think they may be scared. After all, it is their daughter and parents can be protective. Unless there's an underlying reason for them not to trust you, there's no reason for them to hold a grudge against you. I would, like the other columnist said, be very polite and cordial and also bring them little gifts.
Also, if that's not working, I would talk to them and explain how you feel. If they know you are sincere and love their daughter, then they might respect you more.
Tell her you want to see her more. Explain to her what you explained here: that you love seeing her and she's the first girl you really liked, etc. I think she'll like that. =]
Good luck.
