Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
Well she proably knows why you wont hug her. Just be friendly but still keep your distance. You might want to ask her to get them looked at because well, i dont know a whole lot about lice, but that seems like a long time to have lice ( depending how long u've known her). JUst, don't hug her cuz she WILL pass them on!!!

This must be a really tough situation for you. Some people would say to tell her directly. But some people don't respond well things like that. In this case I would go to your school nurse/medic and in private tell her that your friend may have lice but you don't want to embarrass your friend by saying something directly. The nurse/medic can bring your friend to there office and check her hair. Most likely the nurse/medic would tell your friends parents to keep her out of school for a while and give your friend the proper medicine and medical advice to solve the problem. My cousin had a problem with head lice, and she is a very clean person. Her mom is a hairdresser and noticed it. They found out that one of the girls at her school had it and came overnight and slept on one of the pillows. So it’s just a problem that some people have to face. Just support your friend and let the medical professional at your school know about it for your safety and others. By using this way, your friend will not feel, as embarrassed and other people probably wouldn't find out.

My lil sister use to have a real bad head lice problem when she was in kindergarten and in 1st grade until we moved to an all black neighborhood.. but um make sure its head lice first before approaching her... these are things she can do to get rid of head lice i wouldnt use RID or NIX.. i would use Vaseline.. Hair Mayonaise which is a african american hair condionor thats really thick.. and make sure you get a metal lice comb to comb them out and run it through her hair everyday til she doesnt have anything come out.. and wash all her clothes, sheets, stuff animals.. vacuum all funiture and floors.. Yea my family kinda became a pro at it.. but jus stay away from her while she has em.. dont hug her her.. share combs or brushes or have any hair contact.. much luv dez x0x0

Are you sure it's not dandruff?
If she had headlice that bad, then the school wouldn't let her attend, and send her home to get rid of them.
IF it is headlice, you need to tell her, and it won't be as simple as using RID on just her head.. if they are that bad her whole house will need to be sprayed bedding washed, and everyone in the house using RID and combing out the eggs.

There's this product that gets rid of lice, that you can buy in a store. She should be treated, her bedsheets, everything that her head has had contact with. Even her family should be checked. Her hair will probably fall out eventually if she doesn't get rid of them.

She may not even have a clue. Tell her about it. They normally don't let people with head lice in school. You might want to get your head checked too.

try to tell her nicely to get a hat..or try some special shampoo against lice. ask your doctor if they have any cure
-hope i helped!-good luck!

well usually they dont let you go to school with lice i think. so maybe its just really bad dandruff.......when you two are by yourselves just kind of casually notice it and be like "whats that" and maybe she will tell you..then suggest shampoo or something

Well as gRoss as this is; I had a lice pRoblem foR a while... many yeaRs ago. If heR case is that seveRe, don't heR paRents know? Have they tRied washing heR haiR with the 'Rid' stuff?? I know that you can 'Rid' them foR weeks and weeks, and sometimes they STILL don't go away, but the pRocess must STILL be upkept until the goal is accomplished. PeRhaps heR paRents should consult with heR physician to see if he has any Recommendations if 'Rid' simply can not complete the job. And as foR you, yeeeah, I'd definitely suggest staying away fRom heR. But my question is: how aRe you so shoRe she has lice?? You can see them in heR haiR?? Hmm, you usually can not seem them in heR haiR deaR, unless you'Re playing in it, and geneRally with a magnifying glass. And just because she scRatches heR head does not make heR infested with lice. If you'Re seeing stuff, like white flakes, it's simply dandRuff, which seems moRe likely to me. And if so, she can tRy "Head & ShouldeRs" foR that. EitheR way, I think she needs to tRy "Head & ShouldeRs" just to see if this would solve heR pRoblem oR not. And if so, then you can be pRettie shoRe it wasn't lice. If I weRe you, I'd confRont heR on this. Just ask as a close fRiend conceRned foR heR health and well being. I'm shoRe if it's lice, heR paRents know, and have told heR to not get so close to you. Hopefully eveRything woRks out.

This may sound wrong, but you should just tell her and spare her further embarrassment. ya kno? i kno that other ppl can see that, not just you. lol! ok, talk to her about it and then go to the store and get tat RID shampoo (it treats head lice)
here are the instructions:
1) shampoo her hair
2) rinse
3) apply the rid shampoo
4) if there is a comb that comes with it, then take the comb and brush it through her hair and that will get the lice out of her hair mostly.
5) rinse her hair really good
6) put more shampoo
7) and then rinse
you dont have to do all of that stuff if you dont wanna but you can have her mom do it. that would be extreamly better. that way, you wouldnt get lice. ^_^
*WARNING* tell her mom to put her hair in a ponytail and also tell her not to touch her head while checking for lice.
well now you kno..
and thank you for shopping at wal-mart
come again! ^_^
ThatSAM
p.s. the reason i kno all of this is becuz i used to get lice a lot when i was younger. thats a long time ago too. lol!

Tell her that they have shampoo to get rid of it, she could even buy it without her mother there. Also, it may not be a problem with her, but a problem at home. Everyone at her house could be infested with them, which would make it hard for her to get rid of. Technically, she isn't supposed to be in school if she has headlice though because she can spread it. Are you sure it isn't just really bad dandruff?
EDIT: I just ASKED if it was dandruff, grow up.

tell her about it! she may not know.
luv nicki xxxx
