Question Posted Sunday February 13 2005, 1:30 pm

Stephanie,
My "friend" is staying over my house for like a couple of weeks because of some school/family thing, long story, and she is beginning to annoy me ALOT. She talks so much and on purpose she is always bothering me while im doing my homework (how do i know its on purpose, she basically told me herself). I basically don't have any privacy and she always has to know what is going on, even if its personal, or she will bother me about it all day. I have no idea how i should handle this, can you please help me...

Lost and annoyed.... :/

well, i'm sorry that you're in this situation, it has to be really annoying.
but it also depends on whether you want to hurt this "friend's" feelings or not. you seem like a nice person who wouldn't want to intentionally hurt someone. if he/she has told you that he/she's doing it on purpose, i think that u should discuss it with him/her (wow, i'm gonna call it a she from now on). i wouldn't tell her lies about what's going on, because she might spread them, and i wouldn't be mean to her, because she'll probably just make up rumors about you. if it gets to the point where you really can't stand it, try getting away from her as much as possible, for example, by like telling your mom or dad that you really can't spend that much time with her. if you've been sleeping in the same room, offer to sleep on the couch so that you get some privacy time. take uber-long showers so that you have some more time to yourself--a big part of your annoyance is probably because you're used to being more alone, and now, with someone in your face every single second of every single day, it's hard to take some down-time. maybe, if she's bothering you that much with your homework, you could try to do your homework in a library nearby your house. if you have sisters and/or brothers, you can also try spending time with them (your guest might not want to hang around you so much if you're always with another member of your family). i hope this helps! if it doesn't, just let me know and i'll try to help more.
good luck!
