Copy-cat
There is this one girl at my school who is basically my shadow. But not in a good way. Her main goal in life is to beat me at everything I do, which also means doing everything I do. I play the cello, and so does she, but I, not to brag, am better, so she gets very competitive about that. And since we met, she has decided to play piano, "volleyball," "guitar," and "sing," all of which I have been doing before we met. The reason I put quotation marks is because she does't do either of those things, but she just says she does. What should I do to make her get her own life?

Just consider it flattery and although it makes you crazy, don't do anything about it. This girl is being a copy cat because she likes you so well she wants to be just like you. You are probably her idol! Feel proud that you are so accomplished she idolizes you. Eventually you will do something that she is not interested in, or she will find a real talent of her own and you two will go your separate ways. Friendships like this don't usually pass the test of time.

jus go and tell her to stop copying you and to be an individual.

just ask her to sing for you, and if she does it badly, then tell her off. But, if she's actually really bad at all this other stuff then just ignore her; everyone else will know you're better. :)

Ask her things like, "Oh maybe I could watch one of your games sometime?" "What is you team name?" or "Do I know anyone on your team?" and then see what she says.
Try staying away from her. If she comes up to you just walk away, pretend to not hear her, or just flat out ignore her. Distance yourself from her.
If all else fails, just say, "Look, I've been getting the feeling you have been copying me for the past few weeks. Are you?" By this she will most likely get the fact she is bugging or seriously annoying her.
I hope these work for you... Good luck! emily
