My friend acts like a child!


Question Posted Thursday April 21 2011, 11:40 am

14/f

My friend, a 15 year old girl, is sometimes like a bratty little kid. She gets upset if she can't have her way and if someone asks her to stop something.

For example, my other friend has a notebook which we all write stories in. I'll call her Lydia. The childish friend, let's say Jen, gets it more than anyone else and throws a little tantrum if Lydia won't give it to her or asks for it back. She also ripped out several pages which nobody can use now.

She also thinks it's ok to write on other people's things without asking. She writes all over the notebook in Sharpie just because she felt like it (which she said) and on Lydia's shoes (WTF?!) and when we tell her it needs to stop, she gets angry and ignores us. She came over to my house yesterday and had the nerve to write on my brother's Legos in Sharpie. Her excuse? He 'always' hits her on the head. He's a little kid!

What do I do? She's being a baby and a brat and lives in her own little world, complaining about everyone else. It needs to stop. Any advice? Thank you!

This girl is an outrageous bitch! She does not sound much like a friend if I am honest. You and your friend Lydia deserve better friends that her. To be honest, if she does it again you need to tell her it is pissing you off. Maybe she has a reason for all of this though, so explain to her (as nicely as possible) that she is being quite immature when she doesn't like what she hears or gets, and suggest she talks to a trusted friend and/or adult about it.

Always here if you need me (: xx

A word of advice from someone who has no more tolerance for stuff like this than you.

Confrontation is a bad idea.

If you get into a fight about it, all that will do is piss her off and give her reasons to mess with you. Remove her ability to write on your stuff, don't invite her over, avoid her whenever possible. Making enemies in an enclosed environment like high school is never fun. Better to walk around the exposed landmines than poke them with a stick.

Inform your parents of the decision and tell them you expect them to fall in line and help you avoid the hell out of her.

First of all,. you are still very young,. second of all. that is definetly not right and she needs to be taught that,. this kind of behavior is NOT| Acceptable. First of all i would try talking you your parents and see if they can talk to her parents,. to try to get her to realize that what she is doing is absolutley not acceptable.
If she won't listen to them,. then maybe stop hanging out with her. make her realize you won't put up with her bratty habits.

Hope this helps

This girl needs a wake up call! don't put up with her tantrums. she is 15 she sould not be acting this way. when she throws a tantrum simple ignore her, stop talking to her and if you keep doing this hopefully she well get the message that she is driving her friends away with the way she is acting.
