Okay so I'm a 14 year old girl. I have 4 best friends...ish. It's really more like 3. One of my friends, is a complete snob! She thinks shes better than everybody else, and shes completely obsessed with shopping. I mean, I'm not against shopping, but whenever we go with her she flaunts about saying how she can buy anything she wants because her parents give her all the money she wants. I'm TIRED OF HER! Yet, no body else likes her, so if we abandon her, she'll be alone. at times theres nothing I would want more, but I don't want her a complete loner.

I feel your pain. Trust me.When I was your age I had a friend like that.Always thinking shes better than everybody and yes at sometimes it is very annoying.But, honestly I think you should confront her about her problems.Tell her as a true friend how you feel.If she doesn't change and doesn't belive you than shes not a very good friend. You deserve better than that. Whatever you do Let God be with you and he will give you the real answer and give you the words to tell her.

Natalie01 answered Thursday March 17 2005, 9:39 pm: well,first of all tell her how you feel about her being a snob well tell her in a good way so you wont hurt her feelings,let her know how happy you are that she shops and that you are not against it or anything but to stop making a big deal out of it,and to stop being a little snobby,not that you are against it i mean thats how she is but to keep it low on the snobby part and to act like she is, only a little bit and to not let everyone know how she thinks she best,well to act like everyone else....in the middle not to much snobby but not to much shy and unopened..maybe that way people will get to like her,to act like if everyone is equal to stop being a little snobby, to talk about anything but shopping you can talk about that but not as much,and to just let go about how much money her parents can give her...get her to try to act in a good personality,now i'm not trying to get you to change her just to make her normal,make her careless about money and clothes cause its not everything...whatz inside and your friends is..

kcx1061 answered Thursday March 17 2005, 9:07 pm: no matter how much you and your friends hate her, shes still human. could you imagine finding everything bad about you AND losing all your friends in one day? if you have a problem with her, talk to her alone. dont do things in groups: it can be very intiminating. tell her something you like baout her or something, then say what bothers you about her. try to be nice about it though, ive been in a simliar situation before =/ hope i helped *KaysEe [ kcx1061's advice column | Ask kcx1061 A Question ]
karenR answered Thursday March 17 2005, 5:40 pm: You could explain to her that though you other girls like shopping too, you aren't made of money! You might tell her that he flaunting how much money she has to spend is a bit rude and that it bothers you guys. It could be that she just doesn't realize.She's never not had money so she really doesn't understand.Boy, that would be nice wouldn't it? See how she takes that. Don't be mean about it just tell her like it is.Maybe she will stop and make more friends if she just tones it down a little. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
lostinside answered Thursday March 17 2005, 2:17 pm: I would talk to her. Tell her how you and your friends feel about her. Honesty is the best policy, although it's hard. She might be having a hard time finding herself, which is why she is acting that way. Maybe you and your friends could try to work things out, and tell her exactly what you don't like about her. And if she's willing to, maybe she can make changes. But if not that, maybe you could tell her you feel you have gone seperate ways or something. Say you've both changed, and feel that your friendship is not working out.
MummuM answered Thursday March 17 2005, 1:01 pm: You really have to talk to her about this. Tell her how you feel about her and how she's always looking for attention. Especially when you guys go shopping, because she's always bragging about what she can buy; since she has so much money. People like this get no where in life, because they don't realize how hard it is to get money. If her parents stopped giving her money and told her to earn her own, she wouldn't be going around spending it like crazy. You and your other friends need to talk to this girl. Explain to her that you all hate when she does this and if she doesn't stop, she'll lose you guys as friends. And since she doesn't have any friends besides you guys, she should smarten up. Maybe by you guys having a good heart-to-heart talk it'll make something click, in that brain of hers and smarten her up.

keigha101 answered Thursday March 17 2005, 11:17 am: well i think that maybe you should just tell her that she is being rude and if she keeps bragging that you dont want to be friends but just explain to her thats its really annoying. [ keigha101's advice column | Ask keigha101 A Question ]
frootytooty answered Thursday March 17 2005, 11:09 am: I think that she probably just wants to show off. Trying to get attention she wants other people to think that she's rich and can get anything. So I think it's just a fase. Like when I got my ugs boots I showed off so much and trying to make people think that I have alot of money. So she just wants to think that I am Pretty sure of that!
Good luck!
