Ever since fourth grade, I have been good friends with this girl my age (I'm female too). We are now both 15. She is kind and generous and always willing to help. But ever since we started highschool, she has totally changed, but it could be me who changed. She is now distant and hangs out with the people I just don't connect with. I like to hang out with the laid back kind of people and she likes to be with the perfectionists. To top it all off, she is rich and extremely pretty, unlike me. I like to talk about problems and how to fix them with others and she likes to talk about her clothes, hair, and how high her grade point average is. I know she has a slight problem with pride, but I am very jealous of her! How can I get through this?

dont worry, if you're jealous of her that means you do have a pride that equals her too. (please do think of it as a compliment, having pride in yourslef is a good thing). Im sure you have something that she doesnt have, like maybe you're good at painting or playing music, or you're closer to your parents than she is, anything... the next time she starts bragging, just think about what you have that she doesnt have, and you'll feel better.
btw dont EVER say she's prettier than you! evry girl is born pretty, im sure you're very pretty too :) [ bakahaido's advice column | Ask bakahaido A Question ]
Katlyn answered Thursday March 11 2010, 11:28 pm: Its very natural to be jealous of someone and the only way to get past it is to think of the things you like about the person to get over the things your jealous of. Basically look at your life and look at all the good things you have in your life that this girl probably doesnt have and when your talking to her just think of these things trust me it will make you feel much better and if it gets to a point where nothing is working then just avoid her and having conversation with her because it doesnt seem like you have much in common anyways. Good luck :D [ Katlyn's advice column | Ask Katlyn A Question ]
