Question Posted Wednesday February 1 2006, 3:49 pm
I have known Lauren since kindergarden and now we're in 7th grade. She's the complete geeky looking kid with disgusting nails, glasses, braces you name it! Thats doesn't bother me though... i mean its the inside that counts. She totally does NOT know how to handle people socially. Shes annoying and everyone hates her. Guess whos her only friend?? MEE! Ug she follows me everywhere and sits with me at lunch even though everyone at my table tells me to get rid of her. Her life is a mess. All her friends ditched her.
Bad Stuff:
1) Shes going throuh a difficult time so it is hard to talk to her without her acting suicidal and saying "SO NOW YOU HATE ME TOO??"
2) I'm going on a 1 week cruise with her for her bat mitzvah this spring break.
3) I can't just ditch her as a friend when she needs me!

Why not offer to do a makeover on her. You could probably just get together for an overnight and decide "lets experiment with makeup". It can be done either way.
If you can just get her feeling good about herself, help her learn how to handle people socially, I think you both will be better off.

For now, you have to tell her that she is your best friend, and you dont hate her, but she needs to change her attitude and offer to help her with her hair, make-up, nails, ect. If she says no, don't push it on her, but really try and get her to change her attitude towards people. She might say she doesn't care about what people say, but deep down she does, everyone does whether they admit it, or even know it. thats why people change.
I know this is really easier said than done, but really try to help her through her hard time and try ang get her to become nicer and less annoying. Just talk to her about it, and teach her new things. [ SweetxxIntoxication's advice column | Ask SweetxxIntoxication A Question ]
