I am female and 13 and i have been friends with this girl for about 3 years. She copies everything I do, like fashion etc. This is surprising cause she is really outgoing, and everybody thinks she is coming up wiht all of this stuff! I don't know what to do!

I know, it's highly annoying, but you should take it as a sign of flattery. It shows she admires your style - but still, you don't exactly want a clone of you walking around, so if it gets to the point where you're pretty annoyed about it, offer to go shopping with her and pick her out some things which would suit her. and have a few quiet words with her if she doesn't get the hint. Nothing too harsh. Say "hey, stop copying me!" in a jokey way. and see what she says. :) [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]

heather101 answered Wednesday November 7 2007, 4:46 pm: Ok, I would suggest you just be honest with her and tell her that you noticed it seems as if she is coping you and you don't appreciate it. Ask her to please stop and just be herself. Now if taht doesn't work,haha, I got an idea. just pick out an outfit that is really ugly and she will probably copy you and wear something like it, and well it'll be ugly. Then after that tell her you know you copy everything i wear and do maybe that will teach you to just be yourself and not copy others. People are going to like her for being herself, not acting or dressing like someone else. Let her know you only did it for her own good because she just needs to accept herself and have her own fashion.
good luck. [ heather101's advice column | Ask heather101 A Question ]
