Question Posted Tuesday December 5 2006, 8:10 pm

i have a "friend" who continues to try to make me look bad in front of other people. i'm the vice president of a club, and she consistently complains about how disorganized it is in front of me and behind my back. whenever she talks to other people, she gets them to think that i never go to the meetings and don't do anything for the club. she always makes fun of me in front of other people and is sarcastic and makes it look like i'm freaking out over something when i'm not. how do i deal with her and restore my reputation? a lot of people believe her because she does it so discreetly and because she's so good at making it seem like the truth. i know she's not a good friend and that i shouldn't be friends with her, but that does nothing for my reputation. i want to be re-elected next year. help!

Dear Readers,
Well, dont be freinds with her. If its possible, dont talk to her. The key is to play it cool. Everytime she says something sarcastic or something dont start reacting to it the way she wants you to. Play it cool. ANd if she says how bad a club is or something, ask her to her face, in front of those people, "well, do you have any suggestions to make it better? because you could bringit up at our next meeting." and say it kindly and sincerly. And if people want to think that you dont go to ur meetings, that's their problem, you know that you do go and that you do your best, and for those who know that the things your "friend" is saying is false, then they will re-elect you next year. And i'm sure they'd stand up for youtoo. Good Luck! Let meknow how it goes!
Sincerly,
