AdviceGiver101 answered Saturday February 5 2005, 3:58 pm: i know how u feel. i think you should go with her in private and tell her that you need to tell her something and tell her to promise that you wont get mad. tell her that she should brush her teeth more often because she would look prettier and tell her that it would be nice if she would use deoderent because she smells a little and if you tell her how u feel its ok your only trying to help her so she could be better off [ AdviceGiver101's advice column | Ask AdviceGiver101 A Question ]

ello_there_matie_lol answered Friday February 4 2005, 11:26 pm: ok this is the best i can do ....
just talk to her like you normally do and act clueless and be like "ew can you believe it?! -so and so- doesnt brush his hair or teeth! he doesnt even use deoderant" i betcha she'll change her ways immediatly o yeah and about the belly thing ... dont say anything about that cuz maybe she cant help like shes on some medicine or something i dunno plus theres no really nice way of saying "your fat"
xSammieXlubsXux answered Friday February 4 2005, 7:13 pm: hmmm.....maybe you can help her without her knowing....ya kno. Like, if she were gonna stay the night at your house one night then you could take a shower and then your friend can take one right after you. but when you get out of the shower you should just tell her that a shower feels refreshing. and then maybe she would go and take a shower. OR if she doesnt take a shower you should try on some perfume and some deodarent and then you should tell her that it smells good and then tell her to try some on.

crazykellie2009 answered Friday February 4 2005, 6:57 pm: i think a really cool thing you guys could do would be like on her birthday or on valentines day, take her to the salon to get yalls hair done cute and get your nails done and you could have a sleepover afterward and be like i love brushing my hair cause its good to and then be like i LOV3333 to brush my teeth do you?! and then be like ok toothbrushing time and just do that for awhile lol but just tell her that its fun to go exercising and eat right and maybe you could take her to a gym some times! hope all goes well

Erinn_the_bamf answered Friday February 4 2005, 6:42 pm: Everyone has said it, but like invite her places like a salon or give her a make over. The big belly is something you have to live with and can't pester her about because some people are just big. But you should just invite her out one day to get everything done. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck [ Erinn_the_bamf's advice column | Ask Erinn_the_bamf A Question ]
sshelbyy answered Friday February 4 2005, 6:30 pm: I agree with HOLLSTER. Maybe you should invite her to go to the salon and get yalls hair washed and nails done. And for her birthday, or vday or something, give her a really good smelling perfume/scent. Thats gross that she doesnt brush her teeth. You should like, be at her house and tell her a story about how your "cousin" didnt ever brush her teeth and her teeth turned brown and she had to have 3 removed. Freak her out and shes bound to brush! [ sshelbyy's advice column | Ask sshelbyy A Question ]
Cath answered Friday February 4 2005, 6:23 pm: Hi Sweetie,
Hmm... well try different approaches. Maybe... you can suggest giving her a make-over. She won't suspect a thing. And while you give her a make over maybe you can give her tips to "look better" and your tips will "coincidently" be helping her not-so-attractive features. If it doesn't work then offer to be a friend and have a "friend-to-friend, no-feelings-hurt, for-your-own-good" conversation. Maybe you can make her not feel so bad and see if she has any advice for YOU as well and take turns giving each other advice.
Hope your question is answered with some helpful advice. Take good care and good luck! ~Blessed Be... [ Cath's advice column | Ask Cath A Question ]
