my "best friend" copies me a lot and it gets on my nerves. But yesterday she bought the same purse that I've had only for like a month when I asked her not to get it. Then she returned it but layed on the guilt and she mae me feel really bad because she said she was jealous of me cuz I have a great life, but i moved to TX from MD last year, and she said that moving wasnt a big deal but it was and so she wants to be fine and friends again but she really pissed me off and I don't really want to be her friend anymore so I don't know what to do now(I am 11 and a girl)
Additional info, added Sunday August 1 2004, 12:12 am: <- she is 10months older than me-> <- she does other stuff that pisses me off 2 not just that ->.

A.Good.Lie answered Saturday July 31 2004, 10:04 pm: Is she younger than you? I think she's copying you because she wants to be like you. Everyone needs someone to look up to. Just tell her to lay off some. Sure, it'll be hard, but it's really the only way to get her to stop trying to be like you.
TucanFullOfHoles answered Saturday July 31 2004, 9:45 pm: spread a mean rumor about her around so she won't want to be you friend either. that way you don't have to deal with her.
HyperactiveMiss answered Saturday July 31 2004, 9:36 pm: I know exactly how you feel. There are times when (online or offline) people copy some of my ideas and clothes and etc. People will tell you "Well they admire you, you should be flattered." That IS true. It's pretty cool that someone wants to be like you. However...there's a point where it goes too far. I think you should still be her friend...you shouldn't end the friendship but you should tell her strictly that you don't want her copying you anymore. A good friend will listen. If she doesn't, she's probably not that good of a friend. Everyone has a tendency to copy someone else...hopefully your friend will be done with her phase soon.
