Just talk to her. Tell her you dont like her ripping off your profile and style.

While copying is a sincere form of flattery, its annoying as hell.

Copying is the most sincere form of flattery.

EVEN THOUGH IT IS SOOOOO DAMN ANNOYING.

Tell her that you'd appreciate it if she didnt use your sayings and column style. Thats all you can do.

yes..you should tell her! just talk to her calmly and try not to get into a fight! just be like "i don't want to sound rude or anything..but i want to be an individual and i don't like it when people copy me" and just lay it down flat in a calm nice way! and if she is a good friend..she'll understand! =)
good luck! rate me please!

well first off is your friend younger than you b/c 9 out of 10 times younger people look up to the older people, its always been that way. but u should tell her how you feel, or help her find out her own sayings or her own "cool" screen name that she would like thats not close to yours at all. hope my advice helps check me out PRINCESSKISSES1

selectopaque answered Tuesday August 10 2004, 12:13 pm:
Yes, tell her how you feel. If you don't then she will continue to do that. Don't be mean about it, she obviously looks up to you, just be nice about it, and maybe help her come up with her own sayings. Or show her a site where she can find some of her own.

this happened to me to a girl named Christiana in school she would always copy me my sneakers where i shopped it got very annoying and i told her i said look you need to get your own style and stop copieing mine and i totally worked me and her are still friends and she dont copy me anymore......so i think the answer to your question if you deffinetly need to say someting <dont be to nice because she might not get the point that your mad> hope i helped! GOOD LUCK

oh boy..this sounds like one of my friends! you should definatly tell her! if you dont want her to get mad though...put a copywrite at the bottem of all your profiles! if she still doesnt get the hint tell her she has to put your name at the bottem of all the quotes she stole cause she shouldnt get credit for what you did! if you dont want your quotes on her profile just camly talk to her...i wish there was another way but there is probably no way she will change it without you talkin to her! =] hope this helped!

k_l_v_g answered Tuesday August 10 2004, 10:29 am:
yes, definitly tell her. just talk to her in a nice calm and kind voice. dont lyk scream at her ...just act real nice about it. and just lyk ask her if she would stop following you and doing everything the same as you. tell her that shes her OWN person and that she should be happy with that! dont be afriad to tell a friend their faults...sometimes it actually HELPS them in realizing that they are their own person!

Yes you should tell her how you feel! Tell her that there your own quotes and designs and she can make her own up too and you could help her. SHe might look up to you and want to be just like you so she copys your stuff.

Mercy_x_Me answered Tuesday August 10 2004, 9:59 am:
You definetly should. Tell her you feel like she's always copying you and tell her you know that she has been , point out the quotes she has or had that YOU made up. If she copied anything that was on a website she may very well copied from you, but unfortunately you have no proof for that, so dont bother bringing it up. Tell her its hard to be original when she keeps doing that, and ask her if it wouldnt kill her so much to change her Advicenators name. If she rebels all of this, and denys everything, shes really rude and then its time for you to block her so she cant look at all of your quotes and stuff. good luck xoxo
