im 16.f and my best friend is 13. she likes to boss me around and recently she told me that im so perty and i take everyone away for everyone else. shes not the skinniest person, but hes not overweight. she told me today to gain ten pounds and get ugly or im not realy her friend. im also goin out with her older brother. ( thats not the reason shes my friend tho) and shes told me to break up w/ him b4, but i cant just b/c she says so. she says she gets no attention and nobody likes her. i think i have a future with him and i cant just break it off b/c her. right? thanks..
Additional info, added Friday January 21 2005, 8:35 pm: well, i like being her friend tho, when shes not bossy, shes really cool. and no, she doesnt have a boyfriend and never has. and she gets mad at me like everyther day about her brother. .

Loverx33 answered Friday January 21 2005, 10:09 pm: totally not hunni! shes only 13.. what can she do to you? she cant boss you around like that. just tell her that:
a) you are not gaining 10 lbs
b) you are not getting ugly
c) you are not breaking off with her brother
d) she cant boss you around
e) get a life
hunni, its ok. just dont let the little loser get to you head. shes not worth it the way shes acting towards you! try to find a best friend your age and you style.

xxmizzpreciousxx answered Friday January 21 2005, 6:53 pm: Dear controlling friend,
I think that you shouldn't be your best friend's friend anymore because a real friend would never boss you around or make you do anything you don't want to do. I think you should stay with her brother and just ignore verything she says to you. But if she starts trying to be nice to you then just ask me a question. My username is xxmizzpreciousxx.

bAhAmAmA0250 answered Friday January 21 2005, 6:43 pm: yeah you are totally right. I would talk to her about it saying tha tyou cant change you are. JUst because 1 person wants you to. You wouldnt even change for her brother (weather or not that is true it will make her feel better). Then you need to talk to your boyfriend/her brother. And let him know whats going on. And hopefully he can smack or talk some sense into her-trix [ bAhAmAmA0250's advice column | Ask bAhAmAmA0250 A Question ]
mysterycocomix answered Friday January 21 2005, 6:04 pm: No, you can't break up with him. Just because a friend tells you to doesn't mean you should. Does she have a boyfriend? If not, she's probably jealous. Since your older, your more mature. She might feel insecure about herself and the only way she can think of getting rid of that insecurity is by taking iit out on you. There might be some things she can do to take care of herself. Suggest some. Like going on a sundown walk with some friends. Or showing down on a pizza and playing a sport to get rid of all the food you took in. Hope I helped!
