Making a really hard decision
I have been apart of student government for three years. I have always wanted to run for student body president and now i have the chance to! However, one of my good friends in student government said she is running against me. Current members running against each other is a big NO NO. However she has only been in for one year and I have been in for three so I know more about the loyalty than she does. She is going against the traditions and doing what she wants. She said she would rather be the President or nothing at all. But I don't necessarily feel that way. I love student government more than I can describe and I'm not sure I'm willing to lose it. I know that I can beat her in the election, but there is a chance I could lose, and it will tear apart our friend group and possible risk some of my friendships. I want it but I don't know if I want it bad enough. Should I run for Student Body President and risk losing something I love so much, or should I run for a different position and always think what if?

Run for president and campaign fairly. Don't play dirty. A true frienship should survive. Obviously she doesn't have the right motives and you need to pint it out by highlighting what you can bring to the table without bashing her.
Ask the teacher who oversees student council how to run against her and mention that she's doing it for popularity and not for the benefit of the school. See what advice they give you about the campaign. Run or else you will regret it. If you are meant to win you will. Nobody can deprive you of your rightful place. As long as you campaign honestly, fairly and treat her right even if she gets nasty yu have won. If she ditches you that's on her and it means the friendship was never on solid ground.
