Alex (or her friend, whichever)
First of all, everyone gets rejected, no matter your age, race, sex, etc. If you aren't rejected now, you will be later.
As for your friends, apologize to them. There's nothing more important than friendship.
Dramatic isn't always bad-- it makes life more interesting, but really, don't over do it.
If people are tired of listening to you-- listen to them! There's nothing worse than someone who hogs the conversation all the time-- if you do that, let someone else take over.
If one of your friends has a problem, be the first to attempt to help them!
Don't go overboard though, because you may sound like you're trying too hard, because you don't want it to come off wrong and be a show off.
Hope things work out.

Hi, Friend of Alex.
Tell her that she's only 13 and she has a lot of time left to find the right guy. Meanwhile, she should not take her romances so seriously and get so upset. Let her know that everyone gets rejected. The only ones who don't are the ones who never take the chance to ask for what they want. Those people are cowards. Ask her directly to tone down the drama because it is annoying. If she starts up, switch the subject. Tell her to start a journal or blog and write all this stuff down to get it out. If she doesn't get the hint, let her know that you'd love to talk about that geometry assignment (etc.) but that if she's just going to rag on her ex-, you're going to have to excuse yourself. Follow through.
Be patient with her. 13 is a hard age. I know you're probably going through things, too. Try to be the friend your friend needs and hopefully she will return the favor.
