one of my best friends has become obsessed with being popular. unfortunately, the popular kids dont even like her. so she just follows them around and tries to look like shes with them. sometimes one of them will ask her to go to the movies or something, but only because they need a ride there. then when they get there they ignore her or ditch her. then she sends them messages like "why wont you be my friend? am i not popular enough for you?" shes making a fool of herself and im really embarrassed for her. i wish i could say something to her, but what would i say? or is it better to just let her figure it out on her own?
luna45 answered Wednesday May 30 2007, 6:53 pm: i don't think shes gonna learn, only because every time they acknowledge her, she gains hope. and that hope isn't easily beaten down. its gonna be up to you to show her and prove to her that shes better than them. She'll learn it eventually but not without the help of a real friend. [ luna45's advice column | Ask luna45 A Question ]
