musicdiva238 answered Saturday February 18 2006, 6:16 pm: ok now this sounds like a similar situation to mine. the truth is that if a friend cant take it when you try to help her then theyre not really a friend. im not saying you should ignore her but maybe its time you tried some new people. your friend will come around. dont worry and good luck [ musicdiva238's advice column | Ask musicdiva238 A Question ]

If you are able to talk to your friend again, apologize for hurting her feelings and explain yourself in a non-judgmental way. For instance, don't say, "You are behaving like a slut" but say "I don't like it when people call you a slut because you’re my friend." Don't say she encourages guys and teases them, try "I wish guys showed you more respect."
Can you see the huge difference there? The first lines are blaming her and insulting her, but the second lines explain your problems and your feelings much better.
But she doesn’t have to change just 'cause you wish she would, and her friend doesn’t have to like you just 'cause either. Apologize to the one who you hurt and then just go back to being your friendly self. If she wont change, then maybe you have to reconsider whether you want to be thier friend or not.

i totally understand where your coming from...one of my friends was just like that..
what i did..was be straight forward with her..i told her she was acting like a slut and people are saying shes a slut ..and i told her EXACTLY how i felt.. and it workd, you should do the same with your friend..explain to her that your possibly worried because you dont want others to talk about her ..or something like that...
just be honest ..even if she does get pissy or mad
* as for her friend hating you..tell her straight up that she has no reason to hate you or treat you the way she does..and tell her your not going to take her shit..if she dont like you shell get over it..
you shouldnt care what others think of you as long as your a good person
