obsessivness
my friend is over obsessed with camp. she wont stop talking about. me and my friends try and clue her in, and she knows that we dont like when she does it, but she still goes on about her "bffs." we feel like extras, backup. my friend even told her about the problem. she doesnt seem to care that we're mad. What should we do!!??

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
more than likely she just misses camp & her friends. you need to either just listen to her, or tell her again that after the 100th time of hearing about it, it gets old & you both would appreciate it, if she would just for once quit talking about camp.
or maybe even next summer, you could offer to go with her & make memories together, like my best friend & i did.
you'd have a blast.

She's probably only talking about camp so much because she wants everyone to listen to her and pay attention to her, and talking about her "bffs" makes her sound like she's loads more popular than she might be.
The next time she begins to talk about it, just ignore her, and make conversation with your friend or anybody else whose standing there, or if you are by yourself, just stare at the wall or something or call somebody on your phone and start talking to them.
If she asks why you're doing that, just explain to her,"Like we said before, you're always talking about camp, and we're just sort of sick of hearing about it, so now whenever you want to talk about it, we're just going to talk about something else." Or if she doesn't ask, hopefully she'll catch the hint of what's going to happen if she doesn't stop talking about it.
I hope I helped.

Whenever she starts steering the conversation toward her camp, just start acting uninterested or bored and start a conversation with someone else. The only reason why she goes on and on about this "amazing" camp is just for attention. When she realizes that it doesn't work, she'll stop.
