Best Friend


Question Posted Friday July 2 2004, 1:09 pm

My best friend is acting really different because she acts black and she's not. And I mean she really acts black. ONe time she said to me " I'm really supposed to be black and look it too (meaning her skin complection) but because I have french , english, italian, and other stuff in me I came out white". That was such a lie. How could she say that. She really wishes that she was black. I like her being herself not the fony that's the only reason I became her bff because before she used to act real and be herself. I met her in 3th grade now were going to 9th grade. Ever since 5th grade she started cussin and I started cuz I dont knop but it wasn't cuz she started. Well, I need to kno what I should tell my bff like should I say stop actin that way and explain it to her I'm not sure. Help me out. signed- confused grl

you should sit down and talk to her about how you feel and about how you think that shesz not actinq like herself latley. if she still doesnt want to chanqe you should put forth the idea that maybe you two shouldnt be friendsz anymore perhapsz you are more mature then her and understand that people should just be themselvesz despise what other people think . . you seem like a qreat friend for askinq advice on thisz - rate me please =))

Just because you act like something your not doesn't mean anything, When you say you were supposed to be 'black' but came out 'white' thats a little going to far. Just tell her to be herself, the person you once new her as tell her that because everyone else is taken. Hope that helps

There really isn't much you can do other than sitting her down and explaining to her how you feel.

If she doesn't know that you feel this way than nothing can/will change.

It's a matter of changing really. Everyone goes through changes in their life. But if you don't change together...that is where you have the problem. Take into consideration that maybe this could be her now. (If you are sure it isn't, it would be a good thing to talk to her about how she is acting.) And here's another good thing: My best friend is black, and she's so white though. It's funny. But every once in awhile she has a "black moment" and I seriously can't be around her. If I don't have that option, I just ignore her. But I do tell her off, because I don't deserve to be treated that way, and neither do you. It is annoying. So unless you feel like getting on to her ALL the time, the best thing to do would be confront her about how you're feeling (Yes, I know this sounds bad, but it's true) Friendships only work if everyone knows what's going on. And if she still doesn't change, and you don't like the person she is anymore, maybe it's time to take a break from this friendship, and spend more time with people you can stand to be around, and that are more like you.
