If she's your best friend then you probably love her personality, so i say ignore it. its probably a phase and people do eventually come into there own person.

You should mention it to her that it bothers you, or even just say that "you're copiyng from other people", but whatever you do, MAKE SURE WHAT YOU SAY IS NOT MEAN!!!! I can't stress that enough. you can say whatever you want, but make sure she knows you're not trying to be mean. hope this helps

You should say something about it but be careful what you say. It sounds to me as though your friend has low self esteem. She doens't think the things she would like would be seen as 'cool', so she copies other people that she knows others like, because she wants to be liked too. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
See if you can get her to sit down with you somewhere and explain to her that she is a good person and you and your friends would appreciate her, regardless. Then tell her your concerned because you noticed she seems to be more following the herd than finding her own style. It's important she does this or when she gets older, she won't know who she is. Ask her what her favourite band is, or her favourite place to shop. Basically, you need to make her feel sure that it is okay to be different to people without hurting her feelings. Hard to do but if you really want to stop her copying everything, that's the only way it's going to happen.

well some people are just like that--maybe because they honestly like what other people have---enough to get it like as in profiles and stuff, but maybe shes like afraid of rejection like she is afraid if she doesnt act like everyone else no one will like her..im not really sure. if i were you i would say something casually like if she has the same profile as someone be like, "hey doesnt so and so have that in their profile?" or if she has the same shirt as someone be like, "omg i saw so and so wearing that same shirt!" or something just to see what she says, and then based on her answer if its the right time say something--not in a rude way--but just to make her aware that you think she copies people a lot. like somehting like "how come you do stuff exactly like everyone else---why dont you be yourself?" well that may be kinda harsh, but be up front about it, but she may make up an excuse or something im not sure..but i hope this helps! <3amy

first of all, alot of people are unoriginal with their aim profiles. and taste if she likes one song she heard from a friend doesnt mean shes copying them at all - she just likes the song. since she is your best friend, you should be able to tell her everything. just be like "i dont understand why you sometimes try to be like other people when your already amazing" or soething like that thats asking her a question and giving her a reason why she shouldnt do that. like i said, i wouldnt make a big deal about aim profiles and music. but as far as "&& everything!" - id try talking to her maybe. just find out why shes trying to be like someone shes not. if she doesnt change [ which theres a chance she wont ], then im sorry - but some people are just like that.. you call them the "followers" and to me you sound like a "leader".
hope this helps!! :] ♥
