But I was a total tomboy in middle school, but whenever I was about 14 I started to dress more "girly" Not all out, like highheels, but better dressing. So she might change. But just tell your sister, so ask the girl to stop talking about and she should like me(your sister) the way I(your sister) am. Sorry I was mean about the period thing, I just like proper grammar. <3 [ hollister_lover09's advice column | Ask hollister_lover09 A Question ]
the_sweeter_heart answered Thursday January 31 2008, 3:56 pm: I TOTALLY understand you. I have a sister, Sarah, and I was like, laughing when I read this because your sister is EXACTLY like mine. Seriously. But my sister also has friends (not older ones, but still) who are totally girly, right?
But I don't think there's really a problem here. Just tell her to stop. Tell her, "Okay, whatever you say. Just watch, in three years I'm going to be the same exact person and I bet you're going to say, 'When you're sixteen you'll feel this way'. And you know what? I'll just laugh." Or something like that. She knows herself best right? Just roll her eyes.
Still, if she never stops, I don't think you should make a big deal out of it. Their friends, but friends can't be perfect and if a friend is so sure that her friend is going to change even if she isn't going to isn't that much of a bad thing.

caramella answered Thursday January 31 2008, 3:56 pm: i suggest you let your sister confront her freind about this and tell her that shes not girly and she likes being a tomboy and to stop telling her shes gonna change.She can be whatever she wants.I know that you,bein her older sister can go tell her this instead but you just gotta let her do it herself so she can be stronger.If she needs help youll be there for backup but she should do mosta it herself.

solidadvice4teens answered Thursday January 31 2008, 3:52 pm: She should accept the fact that this is one small thing she dislikes about this person. There's obviously tons of things she does like about her or they wouldn't be friends. This is just part of this girl's personality and she's acting like a typical girl her age.
If your sister doesn't like this aspect of her friend's personality than she should say something to her. It's best if she ignores this trait as it will lead to a fight and damage a friendship. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]
