Friend Competition
Well, I've been best friends with this girl Stacy for 2 years. We do pretty much everything together and I'm always going over her house and stuff. But lately, it feels like we're always competing, at least I feel that way. Whenever we go somewhere together I'm always trying to look better than her. And she just got a ton of new clothes for school from like hollister and abercrombie and I didn't get as much as her. I get really jealous, and I don't know why. We've always been best friends, but why do I feel this way?

YO.
Its normal for best friends to be jealous of each other. Just don't think about how "better" you think she is. Talk to your parents about how you feel and maybe they can help you. Just because she has more clothes then you DOES NOT mean that she is better. Talk to HER and tell her how you feel. Say something like, "I know that we have been BFF for 2 years, but sometimes I feel as though we are in a compitition." I'm sure that she will understand.
Hope that I could Help,

It's totallt normal to feel this way. Just try not to put so much thought into trying to be better then her. Think of things that you are better at then her or that you have and she doesn't. She may be jealous of you. You never know. You can't change who you are. So I would try to stop concentrating on being better then her and focus on being yourself.

It's normal. Girls compete in general. It is really stupid, but I'll admit that almost everyone does that at one point or another, at least at my school. Girls feel that they always need to be the best looking or have the best personality, even if they're comparing themselves with their best friends. Try to forget about it & move on though. There's no need for you to keep competing. Be yourself. There's nothing wrong with wanting to look nice a lot, but when it comes between a friendship, that's when you need to back off it a bit. You might want to ask her if she feels the same way as you do. She might have noticed it too. Just because her clothes are more expensive, doesn't mean she's always going to look better either. Jealously is quite common, especially with teenage girls. Try to ignore it & be yourself. Don't let something like this get in the way of your friendship. Friendship is way more important.
