Question Posted Saturday September 22 2007, 11:58 am
My bff is acting strange lately. She used to always want to hang out with me and our other friends but now, she attempts to sit with the "popular" kids and ignores us in the hallways. But as soon as we leave school she's like "wanna go to my house?" and we don't want to hurt her feelings by saying no. so we say yeah. But then once we get to her house she starts gossiping, which we(me and other friends) don't like. She talks about people. and sometimes we wonder why she does. She is turing into one of them(populars) it is getting old.
We know that the populars don't like her at all cause she's constantly saying "oh i am fat" and "my hips are HUGE" and no one likes that. So she is pretty much trying to become something that she probly will never be and we are getting anoyed.
Well my question is how can i explain to her that what she's doing is anoying us? i mean i tried telling her that she was annoying us but she says that "your a dork! you don't know what cool is! and what i am doing is the definition of cool" not even kidding she said that exact thing to me. And to our other friends and now they(friends) don't wanna be around her!!
What can i do before she loses all her REAL friends forever?

When you friend says "oh, i am fat" that doesn't mean that the populars don't like her at all. You need to remeber not to push her away any more, sit her down and explain to her gently exactaly what you explained in this question. tell her how much she means to you, and don't try to act like it doesn't bother you. Don't pitty her either, that will make her sooooooo mad. just try to see things the way she does.after a month with the popular girls my best friend came back to me, and apologized, and now we are closer than we ever were. Reason with her and remind her that your friendship is the most important thing [ girl_in_the_dark's advice column | Ask girl_in_the_dark A Question ]
