"Friends"..that copy
Hey,
I am 16f. I had this one friend for a long time previously, we were BEST friends, she even said so. Until she decided to give me up, for my brother... sad sad.. anyhow, ever since we first knew eachother, she has copied almost EVERYTHING she could think of. When I got a new sweater,she would have to go out and but one that weekend. When I got a laptop, she got the EXACT same one. When i got a certain binder, she got the same one, and when I got a dog, she had to go and buy a dog the next week. Now, I am not rich or anything, but her family IS sort of richer than we are, they have bigger,fancier items,and a much wealthier lifestyle.. but anyhow, I don't care at all. I am happy with who I am, the lifestyle I live, and such. But it drives me INSANE when she has to copy everything I do... She even works at the SAME place I do, she never even considered getting a job until I did! Oh, and when I bought a vehicle bout six months ago, she was SOOO close to buying an exact replica! (I am sure she STILL might (get her parents too).) Yes. Insane I know. But the most recent one, that just happened today is burning a frustration hole in my chest. She walked into my room, because she practically lives here, since she is (blech) dating my brother, and she finds my resume on my desk and starts reading it. She asked what I was applying for, and I didn't even want to tell her because I know she is going to apply for it, so long as I do.. arg! .. And I know the resume she applys to get the job with,will be (you guessed it) an exact replica... Sure maybe it will have a few things that apply to her, but I KNOW SHE WILL COPY IT! and it is BURNING A HOLE in my chest... I really dont know what to do or how to excape it. She sees something I have or wrote in school (yes. she is in some of my classes and in the same grade), and she just pounces on it. What do I do? I am SO sure she knows I was going to apply for the park job with this resume.. and now.. her resume is going to look the same. ANd I may end up stuck working with her.. While she sucks faces with my brother. If you know how I am feeling right now.. :( .. PLEASE HELP ME!

You need to set her straight.
Tell the damn girl to get some originality. She seems so fake. She's probably struggling to find an identity because she's so busy becoming you that she's forgotten who she is. Talk to her about it. Tell her that it's starting to piss you off that she keeps copying you all the time. If she asks when she's copied you, list all the instances that you've noticed, and make them very clear.
I can see how this would be annoying. Just be straight up with her, there's no better way. If she still doesn't get the hint, get another job or change your schedule at work so you don't have to work the same days as her.

Oh my! That is a problem, I feel very bad for you :(
If you must work there for the money then work while you are applying for other jobs and DO NOT let her find out about it. Maybe try talking to your brother about it or tell her straight up that you think she copies EVERYTHING you do. You do not have to be her friend, you don't want to. Just manage to deal with her until they break up. I doubt it will last long she seems a bit crazy. Only talk to her when you have to and don't share any information with her like where you work or what you bought. Try to be as secretive as possible. If you have any more questions on doing this then let me know :)
Sincerely, Baylee
