I've known this girl for 14 years. I'm only 16...thats a long time to stay friends, right? Well, there's this other girl who is a complete skank. She has had sex over 25 times with 15 different guys. And she has repeatedly lied to us and "Slit her wrists" (writing a line on her wrist with a red pen then covering it with a band aid) in attempts to get attention. She is over the top, annoying, and very rude and manipulative. My best friend Brandi (the one I've known forever) is becoming just like the skank and then she will suddenly just change and get mad at me for nothing at all. She knows that skanky lies to her all the time, yet if I happen to say one thing wrong I get yelled at. I dont lie to Brandi and I dont do things for attention. What is up???
Additional info, added Thursday July 5 2007, 2:57 pm: oh, she is an extremely good kid, like she never ever wants to drink/smoke/or have sex before marriage. Just thought I'd include that. . Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category? Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship? breezy answered Tuesday July 3 2007, 1:44 pm: I totally agree with the person before me...this friend of yours is just going through a phase...she just wants to experience life...but eventually she will realize what you know now...just be patient and find someone to hang out with, when your other friend comes around dont be SO friendly...just make sure she doesnt think that she can just be your friend and then not and that everything will be ok...Hope this helps! ByE!
Good Luck and Best Wishes,

sdcutie717 answered Tuesday July 3 2007, 3:31 am: Your friend is going through a phase. A lot of teenagers go through it (I'm just as guilty as the next person). It's a kind of rebelous stage. She just wants to experiment and enjoy high school. She knows that this girl is crazy, but she also knows that she probably has connections to guys, drugs, liquor, ect...
Don't get too caught up in it all. Be the bigger person and leave the situation alone. You can always try talking to her about her new friend and give her your opinion, but in my experience, that never really works.
As sad as it is, you guys are going down different paths. You kind of just have to sit back and let her makke her own mistakes. Eventually, she will realize who her real friends are, and when she does, you will be there. Don't reject her because of the phase she was going through. Just be understanding.

It aint really nothing you can do to save her. Just give her one more talk and if it doesnt work then back off. [ khadiya's advice column | Ask khadiya A Question ]
