So, I have this friend, and everyone in our "group" is getting SOOOO annoyed with her! All she does is complain, and when one of us says WOW SHUT UP! she just flips out and walks away. We all love her, best friends and whatnot. But ALL SHE DOES IS WHINE LIKE A BABY!!!! Like about her b/f of almost one year and they haven't made out yet. But most of us think she does it for attention. We don't know how to tell her to stop with out hurting her feelings. and she always always calls someone a b!tch or a wh0re , and everyone is sick of her. What should we do??

It sounds to me that your friend is really immature and is craving attention she gets from your group. Her use of the word b*tch and wh*re is not called for, especially when referring to her friends. The person in your group that is closest to her needs to talk to her. Tell her honestly but <b>with tact</b> what she does that makes everyone in your group uncomfortable around her. Maybe she doesn't realize how annoying she really is being. Don't let the discussion turn into an argument, and if you see that she is becoming offended, reassure her and let her know that you all still love her and want to be friends with her, but she is making it difficult to be around her.

Just sit down with the little drama princess and tell her you love her to pieces but you no longer want to hear any of this whining over trivial bs.Otherwise when she has a real problem isn't anyone gonna pay much attention to it.
If it's you guys that she's calling names...well, don't even put up with that.
Try to get it nipped in the bud before it gets any worse. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

Sit her down and have a serious talk with her. Try not to jump to conclusions, insult, or try to embarrass her, just confront her with the facts and your supporting evidence. Ask her why she does it, express how everyone feels about it, and if she overreacts, tell her that you are confronting her about this cuz you really care about her and the happiness of the other group members. Also tell her that the name calling she is guilty of is unacceptable, ask her if she'd like to be called the same?
My guess is the same as yours, she just wants attention. I've had a friend who acted the same, and in my case I think she was intentionally trying to snub her relationship in our faces cuz all of us didn't have boyfriends at the time.
