I have this really good friend, we're both girls and in 9th grade and her little sister, a few grades lower, thinks we're also close friends. I like her and all but she's always inviting herself over and keeps asking when I say no or hang on or I don't know, and when she does come over she eats my food, bullies my brother and doesn't listen to my parents. She also argues with her sister when they're over and doesn't listen to us. I don't want to hurt her feelings because she's kinda my friend but what should I do?
Additional info, added Thursday January 27 2011, 10:41 pm: Also I like having my friend over but her sister always "has" to come too. I usually call her over after school when her sister isn't around.. Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category? Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship? AskMeNow101 answered Sunday February 6 2011, 12:39 am: Usually you can solve this problem by basically confronting her. Maybe say something like this; I'm really sorry, but, whenever your here, you never listen to me, or my parents and you eat all my food and bully my brother and I do not like it. OR maybe; I'm sorry but everytime your here you don't listen to us and your mean to my brother AND you eat all the food and I really don't like the way you act in my house. Which, may seem a little harsher. But, deiantly tell her! [ AskMeNow101's advice column | Ask AskMeNow101 A Question ]

Otherwise, if you tell her parents how you feel and how she acts when she is at your house, they may talk to her and she will ease up abit.
If none of these above answers work, you shall just have to use confrontation. Sit down with her and tell her how you really like her and like hanging out with her, but, you think its time you both hang out with people your own age. Tell her that you will still see her, just not all the time.
