Reputation Clean
Dear xO holLiSteR baBe
I am finishing off my
last years at my grammer school and I wanted to
finish it of a blast, however one of my best friends
Vicky M. is making it very difficult. First of all
we have a sleepover every Friday and for the past
several weeks she has been all caught up in talking
with the popular boys in the grade. I asked my mom
for advice and she says it's just hormones,
I am having a difficult time believing that.
Also every Saturday we hang out by the monkey bars
with a few special boys and every week she kisses a
different guy. I tried to talk to her and I did listen
to her response and the only thing she could say was,
"We are in eighth grade now and we soon will be attending
high school we have to be prepared." The reason I don't
think this is a healthy response because I don't want
her reputation to ruin our high school years . How can
I change her ways? Please Help!

Teza answered Tuesday May 23 2006, 10:00 pm: It's nice of you to look out for your friend and her reputaion but then again, you can't watch her every move and you can't always tell her what's best for her because she might take it the wrong way. Part of the reason that she does that is hormones but it's not exactly why. Like you said, they are the "popular" boys so that kind of answeres your question. She wants them to like her. It's simple. Even though she wouldn't admit that, it's true. She wants them to think better of her and she's basiclly showing off. Her kissing a different guy every week won't make her popular or "cooler" but she needs to realize that what she's doing is pathetic. She should just be herself and if she continues doing that, her reputaion will be ruined. People in high school will call her a slut, whore, anything really. You're being a good friend by being concearned and wanting to help, but if she's not willing to stop, just let her make her own mistake. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
