help...
my friend is in a clique of mean girls who you can tell have a say of something mean about everyone in school. it mite not be true but i can easily believe it-anyone can. well anyway, she carries around this stupid picture of a little boy she adores. problem is, she doesn't even know him. hes the nephew of a kid in our class. i thought the picture was cute for a while until my friend (jessica) started carrying him (robbie) around EVERYWHERE. then one day my friend decided to play a trick on her and take robbie at lunch. she did it when jessica went to throw away her trash at lunch. jessica came back furious, practically crying wondering where robbie is. she was officially attached. ive asked her why she carries it around with her everywhere and she just says because you can tell a picture things and it wont blab like a human does. i want to RIP APART robbie. i want to smak him to the ground, i want to BURN HIM. its getting way too out of hand because she talks to it and tells it how hes so cute and adorable and no one can hurt him (yeah rite) one day my friend accidentaly ripped robbie at least a centimeter. jessica didn't talk to her until she apologized 500 times. he got ripped again a few weeks later and jessica came to school with him in a plastic baggie. now it was geting wayyyyyyyy too out of hand. i kept tellin her it was a waist of time to talk and spend 99.9% of her time with robbie but she wouldn't listen. a few months before that she became a vegitarian. i don't know why but i kept getting into this whole argument about why being a vegitarian is WRONG. of course i learned to respect her rights and i gave up trying to get her to stop being a vegitarian. i still sort of have an urge deep down inside to yell at her and say veggie eater! veggies have feelings too! and crap like that but ive learned to control it. robbie is still a pain though. what do i do? shes starting to act all "mature" on me and shes saying how much i act like a kid (yeah rite) i don't mind that but what do i do if she starts coming up with other weird habits?! shes getting on my case that im starting to not like her although im trying to be as nice as i can. what do i do?

I'm not saying she's got this problem but I do know a guy who is probaby in his late 50's. He has a stuffed dog named cuddles. He think's cuddles is real too. Buy's him pepsi...the whole deal! HE is schizophrenic.So, she could be having some sort of meltdown. She's a little old for imaginary friends. Tell her mom about it. Get her some help.
