im 14/f. my best friend lives next door and we've known each other since we were 2. both of our families are pretty strict, but her parents are super conservative. like, shes not allowed to date until she's 17, she can't wear 2-piece bathing suits, and she can only wear plain white underwear, nothing "pretty" and definitely no bikinis. well, lately she's started nagging at me for everything i do and its really getting annoying. like i have these sweat pants from victorias secret... theyre just plain grey with a dog on them, it doesnt even say victorias secret, but my friend is like "omg i cant believe youre wearing something from that store!!" and i cant go to the pool when shes there because she'll give me looks and say "you shouldnt be wearing a 2-piece!" and if i have a problem with my boyfriend, i cant talk to her about it cuz she'll just say "you shouldnt even HAVE a boyfriend!" im so tired of her judging me. im definitely NOT a slut AT ALL... i dont dress like one or act like one... but when im around her she makes me feel like one. i havent told her how i feel cuz i doubt it would change anything... she thinks shes right and she also thinks shes trying to "help" me. so would it even do any good to say anything, or should i just ignore it and try not to let it bug me? (i could try, but it really gets on my nerves!!!)
Alli answered Thursday June 14 2007, 8:52 am: Tell her that you feel like she is judging you too much and that you don't like it. Ask her to please stop. Maybe if you told her how you felt then she would understand. Just try and talk to her. Hope i helped.

In a way its good because you know she is keeping an eye out on you because she thinks its wrong and she doesn't want you to get hurt, but she is kinda bringing it to far. Just talk to her about whats up. The truth always fixes things.
holahayley56 answered Wednesday June 13 2007, 4:40 pm: I bet shes jealous of you. I mean, if my parents sucked that bad, and wouldn't let me have a boyfriend, or wear a two piece bathing suit or anything, i'd be pretty jealous of my friends. So, i'd talk to her about it, and just tell her how you feel, it won't hurt to try, and if she still does it, stop talking to her alot, like kinda giving her the cold shoulder, and then she'll most likely, ask you why your giving her the cold shoulder, and you can be like.. i can never tell you anything or talk to you about anything, because your always judging me. or something like that.
BeautifulGirlxo answered Wednesday June 13 2007, 4:09 pm: Well, she isnt really experienced.

And for fashion.. why cant she dress how she wants.. what does she wear? like kohles? Eather way, she just doesnt want you getting hurt.. thats what it seems.
runawayxlove answered Wednesday June 13 2007, 4:08 pm: Hey, well shes only judging you and putting you down because she would love to have all those things. She would die for victorias secret sweatpants, a two piece bathing suit, and a boyfriend. Shes jealous of you. Yoi need to talk to her about it. Your suppose to be best friends. Things might not change, but its worth the shot. Good luck =]. [ runawayxlove's advice column | Ask runawayxlove A Question ]
